- Hand Fed Coal Stove: Lil Pal by Fatsco
Looking for information on this coal stove. It is relatively small, and the company currently makes stoves for tiny houses and ships. This seems bigger than those, and has functioning ash grates. I am new to using coal in a stove after many years of burning wood.

Welcome, Dryan
Neat little stove, with a nicely lined firebox.
Those are definitely coal grates. In fact they'll work better for coal than for wood. If you plan on using wood you might want to make a "wood plate". That's a steel plate the width and length of the grates with smaller holes drilled in it. It sits on top of the coal grates and the smaller holes do a better job of supporting a bed of wood embers, that other wise would fall through the coal grates.
Looks like there might have been provision to hold a panel to close off the front end of the firebox so that coal is not up against the loading door. That way you can keep a firebed that is as deep as possible over it's entire length to give the best and longest burn times possible.
Should be good for heating/cooking in a small cabin, or large room if your not too far up north.
Since the company is still around, they may be able to help you with that model ? You could try contacting them to see if they have any info, and/or, parts.
