Looking for some help and info really if anyone can help we had this stove fitted approx 2 months ago, few teething problems where the hot water tank was faulty so I was just boiling the system until we realised there was a problem but that's been changed so we are up and running now, the trouble is I'm just not convinced I'm running the system properly, I've bought coal now as it was just eating wood and so extremely expensive to heat the house and rads only getting warm, the coal is much better with a bit of wood to top it up, but I'm not sure about the order in which the system runs as sometimes the rads are hot but cool quickly and the heat leak rad cold then another time the rads warm but the heat leak rad is red hot how do you know if everything is working in the right order

Thank you for any help you can give
