The stove burning too hot when draft is high indicates that the coal fire is still getting air even though the bi-metal thermostat is closed. The stove is not as airtight as you think for that to happen.
However, because your draft is so strong an automatic barometric damper would be the best course. You could order a Field model RC for much less money from Amazon. It comes with a collar to strap on to the existing pipe, after cutting a hole in that pipe.
Cover the opening with aluminum foil if burning wood.

Fred, he mentioned earlier that they don't allow it in his country because of the dangers with carbon monoxide. Whether or not a MPD is dangerous or not is debatable.freetown fred wrote: ↑Fri. Dec. 15, 2017 7:36 amI would personally try the MPD before going the baro route.

I would go with the baro, it is a safe item to use & enhances the ease of coal burning.
Installing an illegal item in the USA might get your house insurance cancelled, but in some countries, one might be put in jail for civil disobedience.

If you are going to burn wood, I recommend removing the damper and installing a proper cap for the port it is installed in. The reason being is the back of the baro plate will accumulate creosote and rendering it useless.

You are not supposed to put explosive stuff in the stove
Baro should slam shut when the explosion happens.
The goal is to prevent doing things that will cause an explosion in your stove.
I am in my 4th season of burning coal,had no explosion yet, had a few little whooshes like a lite sneeze
