Coal Firing Furnaces-New Hampshire and Vermont Series Part 4, Most of todays coal firing furnaces, are also a wood firing furnace. How to remove the clinkers. You'll sure find it a lot easier to remove the clinker
if you let the fire cool off for five to ten minutes before you go to remove it. Turn the stoker off and open the furnace's fire door to cool the fire. You can fill the hopper while the clinker is cooling. A clinker normally forms around the retort. Be sure to use a iron bar or poker to raise the clinker. Be sure not to dig in the retort. After you have raised the clinker, use a clinker tong to lift it from your furnace. A clinker can be in one piece or in several pieces, but be sure to remove all of it. Keep the fuel bed of your furnace clean. Remove the clinkers as often as necessary.
