Fuel Requirements
~ .
BURN AIR-DRIED WOOD, OR ANTHRACITE OR BITUMINOUS COAL ONLY
I AWARNINGI
Risk of F ir e: Do not store fuel or oth er combu st ibl e
m at eri al with in th e m ar k ed ins ta llation cle ara nces
It is impo
rtant to use fuel that is clean, dry an d co nsis te nt . Solid -fue l F urnaces, suc h as you r EN ERGY
KING Wood/Coal Furn ace, natu rally prod uce ash as a byproduct of the burning process. Even with the
ENERGY KING Furn ace's effici e nt des ign, your F urnace wi ll still pro duce so me am oun t of ash w hich w ill
need to be cleaned periodically. The type and quality of fuel you burn affects the a mou nt of ash
p rod uced and the pe rf orm ance of yo ur Furn ace. To assist you in determ ining w hich fue l to use, here are
some guideli nes to consider :
WOOD
Burning wood for heat is as old as civiliza tion itself. More than any other maj or fuel, woo d provides us
wi th e nergy i nde pendence - an easily available , locally pro duce d and renewable source of heat on
wh ich we can rely.
• This Furnace
has been tested for operation with
air-driedwood.
•
Wood sho uld be se asoned (dried) for at least
12
mon ths before burning. P roper ly seasoned
woo d s hould have abo ut 20% - 30% mo ist ure
conte nt. To proper ly season wood , split the logs
as soon as poss ible and loosely stac k them in a
dry spot for at least 12 months.
You should not burn wet or green wood in your
Furnace. Burning wet or green
woo d in your
Furnace will
not only reduce the efficiency of your
appliance , but a lso inc reases the risk of
dange rous creosote build-up in your a ppliance
and c himney .
•
Softwoods , suc h as pine and fir, are easily
i
gnited and burn rapidly with hot fla mes . Wit h
softwoo ds, you will spend more lim e reloading
your Furnace, and will have
much more difficulty
ac hieving an overnight burn. For a longer lasting
fire, it is best to
use more dense hardwoods.
• Idea lly, you
sho uld burn a mixture of hardwoods
and
softwoods , using the hotter, faster burning
softwoods to start your fire, and the
denser
ha rdwoo ds to maintain a tonger-Iasting fire.
REV 10/2/2017
• With this in mind, choosing the kind of fi rewood
that is best for you depe nds on what is availa ble
in your area. If hardwoods are u navai lable in your
area, you can control the burn rate by using larger
pieces
of wood and by adjusting your draft
controls.
•
DO NOT BURN : Treated woo d, co lore d paper ,
garbage , card board , solvents , or traSh- burning
these
may result in toxic fumes, or produce soo t
and large flakes of char or fly ash. Burning treated
wood, colored
paper ,garbage.cardboard,

Fuel Requirements

BURN AIR-DRI ED WOOD, OR ANTHRACITE OR BITUMINOUS COAL ONLY
I AWARNING IRiskof Fire: Do
not store fuel or other combustible
material within the marked installation clearances
COAL
One of the world' s most wid ely-used fuel sources, coal can prov ide the energy i ndepende nce and low
fuel prices sought by owners of solid-fuel heating appliances.
• This Furnace has been tested for operation
with anthracite (hard) or bituminous (soft)
coal.
• Anthracite: Also known as Hard Coal,
anthracite is a hard, lustrous coal with a high
carbon content that burns with a clean blue,
nearly smokeless, flame.
•Bituminous: Also known as Soft Coal,
bituminous coal is a soft type of coal that has
a high sulfur content and burns with a yellow,
smokyflame.
• Bituminous coal tends to contain more
impurities and sulfur than anthracite coal,
which may decrease the expected lifespan
your ENERGY KING solid-fuel heating
appliance and its components. Only burn
high-grade bituminous coal.
• Coal Siz e: Your ENERGY KING
Wood/Coal Furnace is designed to use coal
that is Nut size or larger.
REV 10/2/2017
• DO NOT BURN : Treated wood, colored
paper, garbage, cardboard , solvents, or
trash
-b urning these may result in toxic
fumes, or produce soot and large flakes of
char or fly ash. Burning treated wood, colored
paper ,garbage, cardboard, solvents or trash
can be dangerous
and will v oid y our
ENERGY KING warranty.
•DANGER - Ri
sk of Fir e or Expl os ion : Do
not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, drain or
engine oil, or other flammable liquids or
inappropriate materials in this Furnace.
Storage
• Store all fuel in a dry location away from the
elements. Never burn wet coal.
• Do not store fuel within the Furnace
installation clearances or within the space
required for refueling, ash removal and other
routine maintenance operations.

Combustion Air Requirem ent s
!AWARNINGI
~ .
Failure to provide adequate combus tio n air can lead to
increased carbon mon oxide produ ction and increased
emissions of combustion gases into the building, which may
cause death or serious injury .
The ENERGY KING Furnace must have a minimum supply
of 70 cub ic feet of a ir p er minut e.
All fuel-burning appliances must have air (oxygen) for proper combustion. The incomplete
combustion that takes place when a solid-fuel applia
nce is "air-starved" causes carbon
m
ono xide ( CO) production in quantities that can be dangerous inside a building. Combustion air
from outside may need to be brou ght in to prevent "air starvation". Although an outside air
source is strongly recommended for all installations, it may be necessary if:
• The Furnace does not draw steadily, smells, experiences s
moke roll- out ,
burns
poo rly, or bac k drafts whether or not there is combustion present.
• Any of the above symptoms are alleviated by opening a window
slightly on a calm day.
• The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight
fitting windows and/or has any powered devices which exhaust
house air, such as clothes dryers.
• A ventilation sys te m is in st all ed in the ho u se .
Consult a qualified Furnace install
er to ana lyze whether the air supply in your installation
environment is adequate.
