No problem. When I first got into coal I thought it was pea as well
I'm glad I took the time to ask, I was going to start loading into my Mark II next week when the temps drop. :o

I'm sure you could but I'd put a small layer on top of pea or nut. Would prolong the burn time because of it letting less air through

That's a nice stoker boiler. Glad you got it all cleaned up and ready to go!

Probably about time to add more pictures of the whole boiler. :D

Did you see I took some more photos of the allen for you?

Thank you!
I think its time I make a new thread with the current happenings of the allen. The title of my original thread makes it seem like there is issues and not current happenings. :lol:
