Silly man, there is lots of fun coal things you can do in the summer. One of my best summer projects was to pick up a new coal stove when it was 92*. I had the place to myself and got a courtesy tour and a cup of coffee offered.The way you are proceeding she will just get spoiled this summer. Send her up on the roof to clean the chimney. If a thunderstorm threatens, make sure she knows to drop to her knees.I'll the stove alone and pay attention to her

The trick is to make sure you start way back on the grate and bury the charcoal with as much coal as you can on topchar1300 wrote:I tried the charcoal lighter to start the coal 2 failed attempts 1st time just stuck it in the coal waited 8 mins turned on the stove and removed the starter.no luck 2nd time stuck the starter in for 4 mins then turned on the blowers at 8 mins removed starter still no luck went back to the homemade bags up and runnung.
