What Causes Clinkers in Coal-Fired Boilers?

Clinkers can occur if there's a kink in the process, whether you have a small coal stove, a whole-house coal-fired boiler or even an industrial-sized commercial boiler. Coal that contains more water, along with minerals like calcium, sodium, potassium, pyrite or iron, can break down inside the coal and mix with air, moisture and each other.
