yes, the stove is in the main room and has no ducts(no basement) i have a couple of overhead fans to circulate the air and there are two simple control knobs, one for the feed rate and the other is for a fan that blows the heated air from the stove...

i know where to set the feed rate/blower for a given ave outdoor temp of 20-35 deg to keep the house ~68deg and only have to adjust it for cold snaps in the zero to minus 10/20 range

but there is a an add on thermostat unit i can get to fine tune it to stay at a given temp but it usually only varies from 65-70 so long as the ambient outside temp stays relatively constant 20-35

So any fuel source for the fire would work the same. Not a function of the coal but the lack of a thermostat and air duct system.
