Large capacity, aluminized steel firebox allows stove to accept up to 75 lbs. of coal.
Firebox is lined with firebrick to provide years of service. Heavy duty cast iron roller grates for easy ash and clinker removal. Cast iron feed door and ash door are "gasketed" to insure a good seal around doors.
The Sentry™ coal-burning circulator burns up to 7-9 hours on one load of fuel and generates up to 150,000 BTU / hour.

lime4x4 said:i myself wouldn't use anything that isn't solid cast iron or atleast 1/4" steele construction.Coal gets SUPER HOT esp if u can't control the air flow into it properly..My new harman magnum stoker isn't really big but just the fire box with shell weighs well over 500 lbs..I've overfired a solid cast iron coal stove once the ash door came open.When u see it glowing bright red and throwing a tremidios about of heat out it scares the chit out of ya..One of the reasons why i went to a stoker.I agree with elkimeg don't buy or use anything that isn't atleast ul listed. I'd rec staying with a well known name and a company with a good rep..Sure u might pay more but in the long run it's worth it..example when i called my insurance company and told them i installed a new coal stoker.They asked me how old was the unit and who made.told them it new and it was made by harman they told me no problem then..i had a rough time with them when i had the efel coal stove whcih was built good but was old and wasn't well known..
