What is the minimum auger length? I've got 82" between the edge of the boiler, and the basement wall. The two augers put together will not fit, so I will be shortening the outer auger. I plan on building a coal room, but it looks like that effort is going to be complicated by the length of the augers.
Thanks,
Pete

Some guys run just the "burner auger", but in that case you need to be careful not to get fumes in the drum/bin. 1.5-2 feet past the coupler should be plenty if you can accommodate that length.

That I can probably accommodate just fine.
