on my koker there is a 1/4 " hole next to the ash door handle, it seems to be pulling a vacuum is there a plug for this or is this normal?

I'm not sure on the Koker. I have a regular stoker stove and there is the same thing in the corner of the ash door also. This is an opening to check your draft. Mine came with a screw installed so I would check to see if the hole has theads. If it does I would intall a screw. I guess the best thing to do would be to read through the manual and see if its in there. If not you can call Keystoker and ask them. (570)385-3873

The hole is for checking the draft with a manometer.. if you don't like the hole to be open, put a bolt through the hole, and a nut on the other side. Use some antiseize on the threads or the corrosion will make it perminant.

my keystoker has a allen head bolt in the hole, maybe it fell out during shipment or never installed. But, it is for checking draft.
