Ok, our Englander 13 has been burning now for 2 hours. We started with the room at 62 degrees and it is now 79 degrees in there. The main room is about 18 feet by 30 feet, with two other rooms off it: one is 10 feet by 15 feet and the other is 15 feet by 15 feet. They are all comfortable.
I checked our pipe temperature and scared myself...had to damper it down quickly. A littl eover an hour of letting it run wide open and the pipe temp got waaaayyyy too hot. I dampered it down to where the air control lever on the front of the stove was only about 3/4 of an inch from the far right / shut off position and the pipe temp immediately started to drop. It is about 600 degrees now after about 10 minutes, and still dropping. We have a Rutland magnetic thermometer about 8 inches off the top of the stove
We are using what I call garbage wood: saw mill cut-off from when they mill raw wood to dimensioned lumber. It is mostly pine and it burns hot & fast. We cannot get a over night burn with this wood. I can load the fire box full and close the damper, and 6 - 8 hours later I have a fairly cold firebox with cool ashes in the bottom of the stove. The one time a few weeks back that I bought some shrink-wrapped firewood for $3.99 from the local grocery store chain (Albertsons) we did have soem nice warm coals in the morning that I used to start a new blazing fire fairly quickly.
So, to answer your question, I suspect the issue is the wood you are using. You have replaced the door gasket, you have checked the door for warpage, you have removed the reclaimer, and you have cleaned the chimney / piping. What else could there be besides the wood? Now, take into account I am a complete newbie at properly using my woodstoves but this is my two cents.
