Looking at your first pic - my experience has been that my stove doesn't like less than 3 pieces of wood in order to burn well and I bunch them up. It seems like the wood burns better when in contact with each other.
I'm heating an entire house with mine so it's rare that I don't pack the stove full to the top.
