Hi

I've a 7.5kw inset stove for bout a year now. It's in a room where shop recommend 5kw. But house not insulated and room has 2 double doors (one set are too outside ) and 2 single doors(7m X 3.5m X 2.4) . The stove after 2 to 2.5 hours throws out savage heat and is possible heating air already heated to luke warm in previous hour or 2. compared to open fire it uses half of fuel over course of a day. Stove has flue and seems sealed. I try lit big enough fire intially and add to it but it really does take least 2 hours to heat room. I thought room would be toasty in 30 mins to hour. Anything I could be doing wrong. It now seems pointless lighting fire after work as takes to long to heat up room so waste of fuel and time.
