Can someone please post a picture of the wiring of the 140 auger.
My mastiff puppy over this summer actually ate all the wires from my stove.
Luckily for her it was unplugged.
Just need a good side shot showing what goes where so I can re-wire..

Thanks all..

Thanks StokerDon..
I have a diagram of the dual stoker, the set up for the Auger is different.
The auger has a IEC/Kettle power cord down from the TStat control to a 4x4 power box, and I believe another IEC/Kettle cord over to the auger motor.
I guess its just time to open up that 4x4 JBox and see what makes sense..

hey all i am new the coal stuff. a bit behind the 8ball. i bought a house tis year. closing took longer then expected. now heating season is on us. i am looking for info on Alaska 140 auger ran on rice coal. it seems to me the system was ran unconventionally. it has thermostat but looks like it was ran with consent fan on and set burn. I can provide pictures later. today just trying to get my head around it all. it has a controller from Alaska on it . Reading the manual it talked about low set point but the manual is not the same as what is on it. Any help would be appreciated.

we will have to wait for those pictures and model number on controller.

I can tell you that run with constant fan and feed that the T’stat is simply jumpered out to steady run.

Second picture, if that is your only adjustment then not sure how a thermostat would work. Looks like You only have decrease and increase stoker speed. Not sure if that was a Alaskan original speed control??

The "veri speed" is running the duct work blower . The combustion fan is plugged in direct. No doubt it is set up to run constant. Some how the og ( original ) Alaska controller is telling it when to feed coal. I am interested in any info on how to set it up back to original. I appears I have everything I need. unfortunately the stove has been neglected. the burn pot is burnt through ( need to replace) hopper is corroded, and the flu pipes where almost closed off. stove installed in 12/2015, but looks like it has been service since the 1990's. The chimney is new!

Ok update.. I am very deep into this stove. Still no fire. Got the wiring back to normal. Into the dirty work. Old burn grate out ( with a fight). Auger seized up. Got it moving good enough to get the auger pipe emptied. Only to find the next hurdle. Looks like the tip at the end of the auger to burn through. Anybody know what this is called. So I can Google for parts. Attached are some of the pictures of how poorly the stove is maintained.
