Hi Snadger
I agree with Peter that it looks a bit on the small side for overnight banking of fuel. Does it have any air flow control ? I don't have one outside but we heat our kitchen and hallway with a wood burning stove and it's fairly large - I can close off the air flow valves to stop it burning too quickly and if I then stuff it full of hardwood logs before going to my kip, I can usually rescue some sort of flame from the embers the following morning (at about 6 a.m.).
One wordof warning - do not use "coal chips" in these stoves - I dod - once - left it for ten miniutes, returned to kitchen - flue and stove top were glowing bright red and paint on surround was blistering and kitchen stank for days !!
