Have a HeatMaster 5000, have been trying to burn coal and when it does, it's wonderful. My problem is I can't seem to get my blower/aquastat settings right to keep the coal lit. Over time, (hours) when the fan kicks on it can't get the coal bed burning again.
Wondering if any of you guys that are burning coal, specially the HeatMaster guys, are having this issue and if not, what percentage to you have the blower damper set at and what is the shutoff temp on your aquastat set to as well as the temp differential?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

PS Love the burner by the way, have had it 3 years. Just running low on wood and can't get any delivered for a while. Have a ton of coal and thought I would use it to supplement the wood I do still have to try to get through this season before I order up another truck of wood.
