Anthracite coal is “hard coal”, mined primarily in the northeast United States. Rice coal, as shown at right, is typically
described as coal having no dimension larger than 3/8”. Other size coal may cause feeding problems, and is therefore not
recommended for use in your VF3000.
It is best to buy your supply of coal when the temperature is above freezing. This is because many dealers put kerosene
or fuel oil on the truck box and calcium on the coal to keep it from freezing while it is being transported. The calcium can
promote rust and the oil may cause an odor depending on what type is used.
It is best and most convenient to have a coal bin inside and close to the boiler. The bin should have drainage to allow the
water to drain.
dO nOt store fuel within the specified clearance area.
