Coal in a multiburner.

[bazza white]

Did our first burn of coal yesterday after 2 seasons of wood.I was expecting it to peel the paint off the walls but seemed to be about the same as controlled softwood burn temp wise.

This morning loads of gritty brown ash. Is this a sign of not burning hot enough.

Do you shut the buttom air feed on a smokeless coal burn or just y leave it open.


Any other tips.


Cheers.

Loaded it up a little more tonight and left it a little more open.


I cant get near it. Its like Chernobyls 4th reactor.
