I'll the stove alone and pay attention to her
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.

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 top

Stole this idea from here somewhere wired all up now left switches run left side of the stove and the right switches you guessed it allows me to take over the world.. ok so they just run the right side.
