TLC 2000 Coal Stove

Disposal of Ashes
. The TLC 000 was designed to provide
access to the ash pan without the need for opening the main
door. Wearing heavy protective gloves, open the ash door
and remove the ash pan by pulling it forward by the handle.
Close the ash door before taking the ashes outside for safe
disposal.
A good time to empty the ash pan is before loading. This
ensures that the ashes will be cold and safer to handle than
directly after shaking the ashes down or tending the fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Never use the ash disposal container for other trash. Wood
ash can be added to your garden or compost.
Refueling
Open the coal air control to the maximum postion by
sliding it to the right. Allow the fire to burn vigorously for
several minutes. Shake the grates with short choppy strokes
until the first red coals fall into the ash pan, then stop! Add
coal to the top of the coal bed. It is good to let an edge of red
coal exposed to help ignite the gases comming off of the coal.
These gasses will produce a blue flame. The coal air control
may be returned to the desired setting.
Stainless Steel Cooking Grill (Optional )
The cooking grill can be used for open fire grilling over
anthracite coal or wood.
To install the grill, place the handle in the grill as shown at
left. The grill can now be lifted and positioned in the opening
on top of the stove as shown below left.
Caution: Cooking Grill May Be Hot.
Always wear gloves
when handling the grill.
Cooking on anthracite coal produces flavor similar to a
gas grill.
Cooking on wood produces many flavors depending on
the type of wood used. More flavor is added when cooking
is done with the top closed. This causes the heat and smoke
to circle around the food.
As with any cooking, the amount of heat and length of time
it is cooked must be experimented with for best results.
