Update: having someone make me a plate to go in the front of the stove. I went to my girlfriends house on Xmas, around 7pm. Came back the next day after work, 5pm, fire still going, stove at 425F.
The grates are a pain to clear ash from, involves driving a bent bar through the fire to loosen the ash, then shaking. I know poking the fire is bad, but letting it get ash bound was worse.
The previous owner had the bimetal damper set wrong, the handle was on the wrong side and the damper would open more when the stove got hot.
