Hot Air Coal Stoker Stove: Leisure Line Pioneer LE/T
Coal Size/Type: Rice Coal - Franklin Anthracite

I have a Leisure Line Pioneer coal stove. Last night the coal got too low and the fire went out. I was able to get the stove restarted, and it got nice and toasty in here while the heat regulated.
It got down to our usual 70, but then started getting lower. I increased the heat to 72 and the fire is still burning great. However the blower on the top right seems to be blowing cooler air, while the left side is blowing hot. What can cause this and how can I fix? It's going to be a chilly night!

I thought they only had 1 (265 cfm) fan for the heat distribution. there is another blower, but that's the combustion blower that goes into the fire box.

Sometimes, depending the speed and how the air is distributed from the back to the top, part of the air may be cooler, if the blower is mounted on a corner and the air has to circulate up and around the stove.

post a pic of the back of the stove blower just to be sure.

Lena,

Please check your owners manual as it has a trouble shooting chart.
Or you can post your question to the leisure line board on the manufacturers
page on the forums home page.

If you do not have an owners manual you can find it at the Leisure line site
or you can call leisure line or your local leisure line stove dealer for help.
