Congrats on the fixup and hookup. I had a FA288CCL for 19 years and saw the latest model at fireplace village a while ago. Vermont Castings still makes them!
Do you have the coal grates for coal burning?
Below is some literature I picked up about 20 years ago, let me know if you want the PDF. I can email it.
I only have the front grate for coal burning. I'm missing the side ones. My wife doesn't want me burning coal in it anyway...lol. I got a small free delivery of wood on Friday, been keeping my house at about 70 for the last two days. I don't think I'm going to need to light it up today though as it's not too bad out.
