The heat from a wood stove tends to be a "dry heat". The humidity level is low (moisture in the air) and things dry out. Keeping a ketle of water on the stove heats it, making it evaporate, and restoring moisture to the air. Mosit air will FEEL warmer.
there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a stove that doesn't heat like it used to. It is in the wood that you are using. Maybe this load of wood is not as seasoned as the loads you used before. Any moisture left in unseasoned wood will reduce the heat of the fire and make the stove seem like it is not heating. Or maybe this load of wood is a different kind of wood than in the past. If you used Oak, Ash and Black Locust in the past, and are using Maple now, or Elm or Sycamore, it will not burn as hot. These woods burn faster but with less heat.
