GF and I are going to Philly, to go to flower show (GF's wishes), and spend some time with her Gran daughter who is going to Temple University down there. Leave tomorrow morning for the trip, come home sunday afternoon sometime. While away will have GFs gran son, tend to coal boiler. been showing/having him do the tending past 2 nights to get the routine down, add some coal, shake, add some more. Recheck after an hour, and finish topping with coal. Plus NEVER leave ash door open when done tending. And do ash pan once a day same time, either night or morning tending, his option when, BUT do it daily. If a problem to call me ASAP on cell and explain to me whats going on, and I will instruct over phone as to what needs to be done. Simple enough.. I hope. :yearight:

Took my parents to the Philadelphia Flower Show years ago. Mom was ogling the bonsai, missed a step and fell and broke her arm. Wouldn't leave the show until she saw everything though. She a tough old bird! :D
