Ashes
e ashes should never be allowed to accumulate in the ash pan.
Excess ash will block the required air cause them to warp and sag. is type of neglect is not covered by your stove’s warranty. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight 3,ing lid. is closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible well away from any combustible materials, pending 3nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Fuel e SF250 Tribute is approved for burning anthracite coal. Pea, Nut, and Stove sized coal are all suitable. Grates e Grates are made of heavy-duty cast iron. e function of the grate system is to support the coal while allowing air through the 3re. e grate system also allows removal of the ashes by shaking them through the grates. e grates are removable without the use of tools, once the 3re bricks are removed, the grates simply lift out. Lift the right end higher to disengage from the shaking link. Tore-install the grates, lower them, one at a time, left end 3rst, be sure the grate hooks into the grate link as you drop it into place. Your grates will last forever, as long as you keep your ashes cleaned out of the stove. When ashes are left to pile up against the underside of the grates, the air- heat. e grates are designed to accommodate three di:erent sizes of anthracite coal. Pea is de3ned as being able to 3t through a round screen hole of 9/16” to 7/8”. Nut or Chestnut is de3ned as being able to 3t through a round screen hole of 7/8” to 1½”. Finally, Stove coal which is 1½” to 2½” in size. Pea or Nut you’ll 3nd work the best for starting a 3re, while all three sizes burn just as well. e external shaker handle allows for greater safety from burns, and the convenience of needing no extra tools. Safety Whenever a loading door is opened, it should always be cracked slightly to allow oxygen to enter and burn any gasses that may be present. Failure to do this may result in a sudden ignition of the gasses, leading to an explosion. A stove should never be 3lled with excess coal to where the exhaust is impeded. burning coal generates carbon monoxide. If the carbon monoxide can be forced out of the stove and into your living space, with fatal consequences. With the exception of start-up or freshening a 3re, the ash pan door should never be left open.

Serious damage to the stove can occur from overheating. Coal stoves should not be installed in a chimney that has a history of down-draft or ese conditions can cause improper draft, resulting in carbon monoxide entering the living space rather than being drawn up the chimney.

Sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide and other products of coal combustion may corrode stainless steel and masonry chimneys.
