is required to fnd the way OF course,
there is Il way and it is simple enough
in reality, but it is very different way
from that which must be employed with
anthracite.
In the feed door of every furnace there
is a slide damrel to admit air over the
fire When anthracite is used this is
opened only if it is desired to deaden the
fire and lower the temperature of the
house. With soft coal it must be left
open all the time.
The great volume of gases evolved
from it in the coking process, which is the
first stage in it's combustion. calls for
more air than can De had through the
body of fuel. and unless this is supplied
above the fire the greatest value of the
fuel is lost up the chimney in uncon-
sumed gases.
