New guy here lookin for some much needed info on a volcano II wood/coal furnace. My ex girlfriends dad let me have the furnace for free and it's basically in brand new condition. I just finally got it hooked up two days ago but i'm havin alot of trouble with getting air to the fire.
I haven't quite figured out all the dampers that it has. It has a main damper control and two slide dampers (one on each side). The two slide dampers seem to control air coming in from beneath the grates and also the top of the firebox. Im not real sure on where to set these. Oh im burning wood in this not coal.
The little bit of info i do have also says that it came with a wood grate and optional coal grate and shaker. Mine does have a shaker rod across the underside of the grates. Could i possibly have the coal grate and it's affecting the draft for burning wood? The coals from the wood seem to clog the grates up alot more than they should.
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you
Edit: I realized i posted this in the wrong section. If someone could move it to the hearth room that would be great
