OK FF , so I burn too low? because the outside temp is not so cold? I understand that correctly?

here I am again with one question, how often you should vacuum the stove? because when I made him clean and after twice shaking did everything under the shaft, see picture , is it normal? I have all the valves closed and the front door slightly open if I do shake,,,I like to keep it clean but if it can not hurt thanx

The usual thing is to vacuum once a year in the spring.
Opening the door a bit when shaking is good to help ash fall into the pan.
If the hopper height is adjustable I would raise it higher than it is in the picture to get a deeper coal bed that will last longer.

Looks OK from the pix P---I'm hoping you mean keeping the ash door open slightly when shaking. I never vacuum mine during the season.

thanks for response, it is indeed the ashes to the left and right side and the hopper edge, ok so it's normal because after a week there is a lot, opening the door helps me that ashes is not against window

Hi,
I have this same stove and had similar struggles when I first got it. What I discovered is that it is best NOT to shake (I know, blasphemous!) I find that it is much more effective to use the flat tool both under the coal bed (using the 3 horizontal slots behind the lower ash door - slide the tool in and rock it back and forth) and through the coal bed by "slicing" through the coal bed to the slots under the coal. I have found that this gets ash to drop down into the ash pan without settling the coal too much. I found that by shaking I was not getting as hot a burn and I was losing the fire frequently. It's important to make sure you're emptying the ash pan frequently enough so that it is not crowding the air flow through the stove.
You may also need to play some with the damper lever on the right/back of the stove - I find in the dead of winter I have it set in the middle or slightly below. This time of year when it's cool but not COLD, I have it set only 1/4 from the top of the range.
Also, make certain that the brass knobs on the front of the stove are adjusted so that the sliders at the top front are closed - the coal does not want them open, they are for when using the stove for wood.
Hope this helps!
