Half Grates
« on: March 04, 2014, 07:13:06 PM »

Why do some of the outdoor boilers only have grates that go half way back the firebox. I have seen this in ACME and Shaver? I am assuming it messes with the secondary burn? I have an ACME, and it sure would be nice to put another set of grates back further so that it would burn a lot better. I could probably load the thing a lot heavier as well. It does not burn things in the back very well...just kind of dries the coal out and then it will not burn because there are no oils left in it. Just thought I would get someone else's thoughts. Thanks in advance!
