OPERATION The Model 24 Coal Stove is designed to burn a variety of coals. Because of it's high carbon content and smokeless combustion, anthracite (hard) coal is the preferred fuel. The best size for this unit is chestnut. Use coal only. Do not use any other fuel. TO START A FIRE: Open air draft control on ash door to the "Open"...
MAINTAINING A FIRE After a fire has been started in your Keystone Coal Stove, it is possible to keep it burning for long periods of time. Simply use a minimum draft setting. Normally, you should remove the ashes and refuel twice a day. As the ash builds up, it is necessary to periodically remove it to make room for more fuel and to allow an unrestricted flow of air through the fuel bed.
