Hand Fed Coal Stove: King 9901-B Circulator

Post by shovelbum138 » Sun. Aug. 26, 2018 3:16 pm

I am new to coal and just scored a King 9901-B coal circulator. I'm replacing the front and back fire brick, but the far end has a metal plate that's held in by the bracket. Should there be firebrick there also? The guy I got it from only burned wood a couple times then it sat unused. I would like to fire this thing up this fall so any help would be appreciated.

If the bracket holds that plate without room for brick, and it is cast iron, i would say leave it.

That section of grate in front of the iron plate, though appears not to shake. Clearing ash there could be a problem.
