Hello I have a thirty something year old new Mac wood/coal/oil combo
Need help regulating wood part .its old enough I can't see writing on the slide damper above loading door and even trying to figure it out by trial and error has given no insight. I can't keep a coal bed because the coal grates are to large and it drops my ash leaving me nothing but a quick burn .should I put a damper on the pipe going to the chimney as of now I have a damper that flutters air flow but you can't really shut it down so I burn loads of wood . The box is large can fill it up however in the morning will only have a small amount of coals because they fall through. Help
