Nitroheadache Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 My mechanic gave this to me and i dont exactly know how it works. It seems like there is an ash dump and the other arm is some sort of adjustable jet. Any ideas? I am not a coal forge kind of guy yet so this could b3 used with anything and i would not know it.

JHCC Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Can you back up and give us a wider view, perhaps with a ruler or something for a sense of scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It looks to me like this is some kind of tuyere with built-in ash dump and bullet grate. If I'm correct, this would go in the bottom of the firebowl with the unhandled side up. Clinker would form in a ring around the "jet" and would get broken up by jiggling the attached lever up and down. The clinker would then fall down into the ash dump, to be released by tripping the weighted lever. Take a look at BP0138 Bullet Grate to get an idea of how a bullet grate works (although that example does not have the clinker breaker/ash dump yours does). That's my best guess. Anyone else?
