StovaxWood stove is not heating.?

Hello there. I'm living in a rented house in the UK and the only form of central heating is supplied by an old stove with a boiler Yeoman County back .. To say "they do not make them like it more" is an understatement. In fact, they do but they are a much improved.

Anyway, getting back to the problem: my stove never seems to warm up.

I'm burning wood, approximately 12 "-15" logs Split and seasoned in a shed about 15 months. The stove is that the bottom vents in the doors, vents or not top a system airwash. The wood seems to burn violently when low air to strike directly, but no heat is generated by the stove (I can put my hand on top and not burn me). The stove is designed to power the 6 radiators in the house also, but they are soft to the touch if you are lucky. In winter, the indoor temperature to the tastes 13C overnight, even with the operation of the stove. There is a damper in the flue, but it seems to limit the smoke coming out rather than slow combustion.

My house is a walk-in stone, probably 150 years old so it is perpetually cold and wet, even in summer. The chimney is not particularly large and is subject to prevailing westerly winds, but the draw on the fire is very good. I have another small stove Jotul 602 in the chamber, and fortunately can heat the room using only three newspapers a day, compared to shovel me 5 or 6 in the stove Yeoman per hour.

The stove is an older version of the high roof version thereof:

Yeoman were apparently supported by Stovax a while ago and people of their customer services were unable to help: (

Can anyone help? Is it just a stove garbage? Let me know if I forgot something!

Thank you very much,
Michael

I'm not familiar with this type of wood stove, but I heated my house with a variety of wood stoves for over 30 years. It seems to me that whoever installed the stove does not install a large enough to heat the entire house. The only possible error is corrected circulation to the radiators. Stovax If the people were unable to find a problem corrected I doubt anyone else on the Internet can not. Did he propose a new stove?

The outer wall and inner wall are separate and between them is a special fire-resistant insulation. It, so the security of the person or anything not to burn?

if there is a door on it, try leaving the door open and see if it helps, it is also a flue pipe in? it may be closed if it is. I think it is not supposed to be hot, but the warm water pipes. Maybe its partially blocked somehow, and there is not a good flow of water through the pipes to get hot real. Is there a valve for water? If so check to see if you can turn the water pressure up some.

Add more wood ..
