How to start an Anthracite Coal Fire / coal stove insert

[tony17112acst]

I'm thinking of getting one: How does the hopper work? How does it release coal? Do you manually release it? or is it automatic? There's nothing on Hitzer's website on this; that's why I came to YT.

It is gravity fed, you just fill the stove full to the top and it burns down. When you do the shake down every eight hours or so, you'll have room at the top for more coal.

Why would people buy a stoker stove using rice coal if you could top load your particular stove and have it run for days? It's an honest question....do stokers go for even longer intervals? Thanks for the informative video, great stuff for a newbie like me. :)
