Can anyone help make my stove work?

An update on the stove - It works

We've been using all the advice we got from you all here and we think we've cracked it. We've got it so it melts your face off if you try and put more fuel on and it burns beautifully with the primary air closed. Unfortunately the coal platform/basket is welded on but with the primary air closed the fire is being fed air from the top via the airwash and tertiary burn. The hardwood logs are grand as we followed the advice to make them a little smaller. Also we weren't putting enough on at all. We've ordered a thermometer.

The tertiary burn really works! When it's open jets of flame pour out of the wee holes in the plate at the top back.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for your fabulous advice.

That's great news! Thanks for the update. Sounds like you are well on your way to happy burning. Be sure to have lots of wood drying now for next winter. You'll be glad of it when the snow flies.

I must point out that the brochure I posted was for the posh version of what I've got, but I do have 3 airs with separate controls and solid cast iron construction.

Also I may have made a huge error in the size of my room (conversion accident). My room is actually 437 square feet!
