Hi. Newb here, joined since i read a lot on the forms and see you all have a lot to add, so here goes:
I bought this VC Vigilant for next to nothing and cleaned it up. it was set up for coal use but I want to burn wood, but wondering what parts if any i need to remove? I assume the raker assembly is not needed, and neither is the ash pan. It was also lined with fire brick. Do i need to remove that? any help you guys can offer is appreciated.
thanks!
