I am new to using coal. Is there a difference between pea or rice coal? I think they are the same,but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Egg, Stove, Nut, Pea, Rice are the basic sizes. With Egg being the largest and getting smaller as you go down the line. Your stove takes PEA, size I think. DO NOT TRY RICE as it will be to small. Rice is used for "Girly" stoker stoves. Right Smitty????????

Rice and buckwheat size are usually used for the automatic stoker appliances. Pea, Nut, and Stove size are normally used for hand feds. You can experiment with different sizes to get your most desirable results. The Pea size will usually burn slower/cooler. The bigger sizes will burn faster/hotter. The burn rate for all the sizes is ultimately controlled by the primary combustion air.

The format of the message window does not have enough pixels to accommodate a large picture from another site so the picture is cut. A smaller picture would fit. That is why it is best to upload the picture directly to this forum where another window can open to display the larger picture.

Fred, I simply took the address of the image and surrounded it with IMG tags. See below, but note that normally it would all be on the same line.
