So as the subject says, the temperature drops from 60°C to 40°C (for 30%) right after I take out ash from teh bottom that has piled up and add coil on top? I'm not sure why is it happening and it also take is an hour or so to climb back up.

Sorry, I'm new to all this. Not a stove, a coal heater/boiler. I can provide some images if needed. Serbia.

When adding new coal it first has to absorb heat from the burning coals to finally ignite. The temperature has to drop until the new coal ignites.

To speed up recovery time most give the fire maximum air for a period of time, while staying at the boiler to insure against over firing.

Also, after loading new coal, take a poker and make several passages through the new coal to red coal near the grate. This will speed up ignition of the gases given off by the new coal; as it heats. No puff back.
