Welcome to the forum, and I hope someone can suggest a solution - I can't... The other option is there is a coal burners forum that I've seen suggested for other coal users - might be worth doing a search, I forget the exact URL, something to the effect of NEPA???

Thank you, im on there too. Im not having much luck there but i have stopped the smoke with sealing the bin
 
Here is what I could find: Maertens Manufacturing

Re: hardin automatic coal furnace:
I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe they are built by Henry Maerten of Center, ND. I've seen them side by side with Maerten stokers and they are identical. His phone number is 701-794-3183. He is a nice fellow....
