im have a saey breman 1 coal stove. im burning peal coal. the other day I let the stove cool off and gave it a good cleaning cause I was not getting the best heat out of it. I took the hopper parts out vacumed all the coal dust that was built up in the exiting pipe. so now I go to light it up I use just the normal baged wood from the gas station. I do what I normaly do when I lite it. well now it wont stay lit I have no idea why. I have good draft its clean. any help would be awsome

Too thin a bed of burning coal will do that. Grate also must be fully covered with coal, otherwise air can bypass the coal.
