How do you keep a bucket day coal stove burning?

1. Start with a good foundation. Place a layer of ash at the bottom of the stove. This will help to protect the stove from the heat and provide insulation.

2. Add coal. Fill the stove with a layer of coal, about 2 inches thick.

3. Light the fire. Start by lighting a match and then placing it under the coal. Let the fire burn for a few minutes until it is established.

4. Add more coal. Once the fire is established, add more coal to the stove. Keep the stove filled with coal so that the fire can burn evenly.

5. Adjust the draft. The draft is the amount of air that flows through the stove. Too much draft will cause the fire to burn too hot, and too little draft will cause the fire to smolder. Adjust the draft by opening or closing the damper.

6. Monitor the fire. Keep an eye on the fire and make sure that it is burning evenly. If the fire is burning too hot, open the damper to let more air in. If the fire is burning too slowly, close the damper to restrict airflow.

7. Replenish the coal as needed. As the coal burns, it will need to be replenished. Add more coal to the stove whenever the fire starts to die down.

8. Extinguish the fire. When you are finished using the stove, extinguish the fire by closing the damper and letting the fire smother itself out.

Tips for Keeping a Bucket-Day Coal Stove Burning:

* Use a high-quality coal. Cheap coal can produce a lot of ash and tar, which can clog up the stove and make it difficult to use.

* Keep the stove clean. Ash and tar can build up inside the stove, which can restrict airflow and make it difficult to burn the coal. Clean the stove regularly to prevent this from happening.

* Be patient. It takes time to learn how to use a coal stove properly. Don't get discouraged if you can't get the fire started right away. Just keep practicing and you will eventually get it right.
