Stoker Coal Boiler: EFM 520

Post by mooseman100 » Sun. Mar. 12, 2017 6:13 pm

I ma looking to add a rice coal stove for my basement. Something with a thermostat on it that I can feed hopper a couple of times a week. Good for 1500-2500 sq ft. I have a 8" stainless triple wall chimney. It would require a 90 prior to goimg into thimble. Will that be enough draw?

That Harman would do a nice job.

Any particular reason you are not heating the basement with the EFM?

So can I put the vent pipe right into my thimble going out the wall into the 8" stainless chimney? Or do I have to mess with power vent and baro. Basically I would like to just take out wood stove and install new coal stove

No power vent. You should use a baro but it's not required.
