Update!! I did not lose the fire, burned as if it was freezing outside. I did crack one of my basement windows just a bit once it got to be 50 degrees. The last time it was this warm and I lost the fire I was very new to coal. I am still very new to coal but now after a few months of trial and error I think I have my little Hitzer figured out. Thanks for all the replies.

I thought I hit replly,but I do not see my post, so here I go again.
UPDATE: I did not lose the fire this weekend with temps up to 64 F. I was suprised that the stove was burning all day as if it was 20 degrees outside. I did take your advice and open a basement window just a crack, I also opened up the ash door vents. Other than that it worked great. Thanks for all the replies.
I have limited experience burining coal, but I think I finally have this little Hitzer figured out.
