You set it to start inserting when there are 300 coal in the chest and stop when there are 101 coal. Flip the values of the two conditions or rearrange them so it starts at 101 and stops at 300.

It starts at 100 and stops at 102. Memory doesn't hold.

If you want to start it below 101 coal and stop above 300 coal, you forgot to flip the comparison on the second condition; it needs to be < or <=.

The first condition says when it should start. The second condition says whether it should keep going (not when it should stop).

Thank you for your input

I tried both conditions <, < or =, >, > or =, mixed conditions with < ,>. but always keep the same order of conditions ( like in videos i saw) what did the trick ( it seams) changing order of [AND] condition ....I am lower than beginner at this point.
