Hi please look at my post from December 21,2120 at 1.33pm..
I have been burning a Coalbrookdale Darby in the photo since 1990 on my 32nd year.....
Parts are tough to get, as I have gotten some about 5 years ago directly from the foundry in Great Britain, they are one heck of a stove probably one of the most solid and forgiving coal burners made. I load it every 12 hours and forget about it it requires no extra tending. Easy is the word! I do burn wood in the shoulder months. But it is really a coal burner. Any questions please ask I will try my best.

Hi , I used to have a coalbrookdale Severn multi fuel stove . It was built like a tank , thick cast iron , the only reason I sold it was to buy a American mica baseburner. It used to produce plenty of heat , and although the Severn and Darby were made in the uk , they were if you manage to track down the original brochure it stated it will heat a medium sized American home . BTU rating were around 50,000 for the Severn , and 55,000 for the Darby . The Severn was really easy to light and control it was a great stove . If you manage to track one down make sure it isn’t the one with the boiler fitting attached . You want the stand alone heater . Parts are available on eBay in the uk . I bought a complete new set of riddling bars there , + I changed out the glass windows all you need can be bought there . The Severn is all cast iron and weights in the region of 500lbs so make sure you have a couple of strong lads to help you lift it !!. I have a couple of pics of when I had mine .
