Many of the pre-EPA woodstoves don't do well with a low fire. They smolder and build up creosote. I'm the last person in the world to think "new is good", but in this case, the later EPA tested woodstoves work much better with small fires.
Technically, by Federal law, nobody can even sell something called a "woodstove" anymore unless it passes EPA tests.
In our house we have three wood stoves and one big wood furnace. When it's only 30 F or above outside (not real cold) we use one of the woodstoves. Until two years ago, I had a 70s "air-tight" woodstove. It sooted up something awful with a load of wood and turned down low. Also had a 1920 cast-iron pot belly wood and coal burner. It could not be turned down since it is not air-tight. Burned clean and hot, and with a full load it would cook you out of the room and burn out in an hour or two. Finally (and reluctantly" bought a new EPA stove and it makes a night-and-day difference. I can turn it way down with a full load of wood and it burns clean.
Getting that heat distributed elsewhere is a whole different story.
