Falkirk No 6 , Queen Anne anthracite stove - lighting issue

[alcar]

HI All

I have a Falkirk no 6, Queen Anne stove and I really battle to keep the anthracite lit. I build a fire with firelighters, kindling etc and then anthracite but find that once the kindling has burnt out then the fire dies. what am I doing wrong?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Chimney is 15cm diameter and 3M long, metal flu type

That is a pretty short chimney. It may not be crating enough draft
