New plan.. Can you put the stove on the first floor?

I would never expect a stove in the basement to heat my whole house.. People that do, have engineered ways of getting the heat into their duct work or such..

A stove on the first floor, then yes, with a way to move the heat around.
I don't worry about cold floors, that's what socks and slippers are for.. :)
Just a suggestion...

At 80 pounds of coal per day and very high stack temperatures it seems clear that the stove lacks the ability to burn that quantity of coal and and absorb enough of its heat to have a reasonable stack temp. Adding heat exchange surface would capture a lot of that heat. The only ways to do that, that I can think of is to move the stove further from the chimney and add smoke pipe, or to buy one of those magic heat assemblies to add to the existing pipe.

Too much heat is being thrown away with a stack temp close to being equal to the stove temp. 200 degree surface temp. of the smoke pipe would be about right.

In regard to surface temperature of the stove, keep in mind that a very cold basement is sucking that heat from it in the same way that blowing a fan on it might do. You have to lower the heat demand of that basement.

Alert alert alert update update Good day everyone I have changed the set up. I took off old pipe added a 90 t with clean out. Added a heat saver and put one mod before Baro and put Baro on horizontal set at 6 stove at 3 on the damper switch my stove temps have shoot to almost 600 and so far burning slower and more even. There is a little blow back out door when door is open which tells me I might enven take out from 6-8 on Bari....... I'll keep updating here are some pics
