Just Installed a New EKO-LINE BOILER - Front Fan not comming on

I don't know. I'm seeing anything that I can understand on adusting this thing so it doesn't eat up so much wood. I don't see a fine tuning section. It doesn't really go into detail at all. I pretty much have no idea where to start.

The reference to "fine tunning eko" is to the tread here on the forum. It tells how to adj. your primary, secondary and fans to get the best burn. read the whole thead and if you don't understand ask and more info will be found here I'm sure.

So I've been running it for about five days now. I think its working as it should. But I have a few questions.

1) When cleaning out the bottom chamber; if there are hot coals down there, should I scoop them out as well or just wait till its all ash?

2) When cleaning, should I let the fire die out every few weeks to clean it real good or just burn through the winter as long as possible with not breaks in the fire?

3) In the top chamber, I see a bunch of black soot, and black flakes, looks pretty gross. The rope liner has also become a bit darkened (Yes, I put some graphite on it). Is this normal?


Any help would be appreciated.
