    It is the stoker who manages the steam reserve, not the engineer. And he does a perfect job, and uses best quality coal, you cannot even see a sign of smoke coming out the funnel. Perfect!

    There is a stoker in the boiler room, even when oil fired.
    But it is possible to make no smoke with coal, except when shoveling the coal in.
