how deep of a coal bed have you found to be optimal on a G Series?

I actually asked the factory about this issue. I was told 6" is about right. If you look at the angles that support the side panels they have slots cut in the bottom of them. These slots are to allow combustion air to flow out and into the primary combustion chamber along with the holes in the side panels. If the coal bed gets much above these support rails the combustion air can be blocked.

You also want to check these openings when doing cleaning during and after the heating season. Creosote can accumulate in this channel and potentially block these openings. You have to remove the side panels to do a good job of cleaning them.

Yes. That's sounds about right.
