Reading juanita w/ coal-trol
I can not get heat out of the stove
The feed rate is at 99 and the blower is on auto and just blowing cool air. I've watched videos downloaded the pdf directions. I can not for the life of me get this stove to blow heat. It's been running for over 24hr the stove is hot.
If any one can call me and walk me threw this I would appreciate it.

Sorry, I don't know the coal-trol system. But if your stove is hot, but cool air in your ducts?
Or is it just blowing out the front?
Generally speaking, if your fan is blowing cool air, either slow it down, or turn UP the temp, which makes the stove hotter before it blows the air.
It is possible for the air to cool off your fire too much and it won't burn efficiently.
Do you have a pic of your setup and your fire and controls?

So far I turned the feeder screw in all the way then backed it out 1.5 turns now I have a full pot burn. I set the blower on manual and blowing at 15.
I'm finally getting blowing hot air

That's very good news! The biggest problem I think people have with coal is the time it takes for the fire to react and settle. We are by nature rather impatient
Glad you were patient and got it worked out. Congrats.
