Been using my super mag for years and I have never been able to get my stove to burn like the video below. Any one else? Says their using Blaschak, maybe i have been burning sub par coal all these years.

It's a commerical. The camera has filters so the flame shows up more. I knw this buy the color of the coal bed. I have that kind of burn all the time being we get to 40 below here often and my stove works hard to keep this large house warm. But I don't get that kind of color. Either that or they have a super blower in it just for the video.. I love the Super Mag.. burning now for 6 yrs or so and not one issue. Keeps the home within a deg of my temp setting. Just do the maintenance and your good to go.

We have never been able to get our Harman Supermagnum to do this. Ever. Very frustrating not to mention cold.

We have followed the instructions to a "t" - and the fire has been anemic, and we have been cold. 😥

Something simple is wrong. Have you contacted your local dealer or Harman?

First year with Harmon super mag and I’m struggling to get house warm since recent cold snap. 16° last night and I came home to main floor only being 66°. Stove is in partial finished basement. I use central air circulation denting to suck warm basement air to main floor. Seemed to work well with warmer temperatures outside now it’s not. I have basement door open now with fan blowing air upstairs. Three 4x12 floor vents cut in bedroom floors. Settings on stove are feed adjuster 1, room temp high, set halfway between 70° and 75°. House is 70° outside temp 32°

Blow with fan at top of stairs pushing cooler air down. Use lowest speed setting. Then the heat will come roaring up everywhere there is room for it to come.

Colder air is denser and needs little prompting to do what it wants to do anyways…seek lowest or lowest elevation possible.

Blowing the hot air up makes a dam or or least a restricted to the cold getting down the stairs. Remember…No more hot air may come up then what cold goes down.
