OK guys in the know.

I have a 3 bed terraced house.
Open fire with back boiler which is the sole means of heat,
House is now 24 years old as is the back boiler, I have tried numerous combos of coal ~ Hardwood blocks ~ Briquettes ~ Smokeless coal ~ Cozy Glo etc.

Currently burning Columbian coal as I found it great last year,
Mixed with blocks ? Briquettes

So far this year I have burned approx.
17 bags of coal
2 big trailors of blocks
15 bales of briquettes.

When the weather is mild enough I have to open some windows a bit as it gets too hot.
But when the weather gets colder is it is right now, the rads only get warm, the fire gets stuffed up trying to keep the heat in the house.
I have debated over and over again about instaling a boiler stove but always put it off, I am not getting any younger unfortunately and do suffer quite a lote with pains. This year I have decided I am going to go ahead and install a stove.

Now, the room where the BB is in is the kitchen diner, which we baically use all the time as this is where the fire is lit. It is small so I dont want something that would be stifling in this room with heat and as a result would have to keep it not stoked up, would this result in cold rads or is it adjustable ?
ie.
Turn up the output to the rads etc?

Again.
With regards to a stove.
Based on not wanting this room crazy hot to have hot rads.
Should I fit an inset stove

or a standalone boiler one?
I really like the look of a standalone stove set into the fireplace.

Thanks for any help / advice.
