This will cause the reloading process to be much longer, and there is a good possibility of losing the fire. Do not shake or stir with a low fire.

Page 15: Warranty
Serious damage to the stove can occur from overheating. Coal stoves should not be installed in any chimney that has had a his- tory of back-drafting or flow rever- sal. These conditions can cause improper draft, resulting in carbon monoxide entering the house rather than being drawn up the chimney. - Page 16 PLUMBING DIAGRAM FOR THERMO-SIPHON METHOD - MAX. DISTANCE 10 FT. COIL INSTALLATION (See Coil Diagram on Page 14) Place one of the nuts supplied on each leg of the coil. Place coil through the holes in the back of the firebox and adjust the nuts so the pipes stick out about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches from the side of the stove.
