My fire went out 2 days in a row. I know it's early and a little warm but it ran fine through the night, in the morning I turned it down to 1.5. Came home to it being out. The odd thing is both times I did not have coal in the ash bucket. It still had ash on the grate. So either i caught it both times right when it happened or something else is wrong. Any ideas?

Just a Guess... :idea: Cruddy rheostat needs a good cleaning with aerosol spray contact cleaner, or maybe even needs replace if spray wouldn't help. :idea:
