Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Coal Stoker
Stoking coal in a boiler involves several steps: first, the coal is delivered and stored. Then, it is fed into the boiler's furnace using a stoker mechanism. The coal is ignited, and air is supplied to promote combustion. The heat generated converts water in the boiler to steam, which is then used for power generation or heating.
