The coal seems dry, today I pulled everything out and noticed the basket has fallen a bit on one side so going to see if I can fix that. I will get the chimney cleaned again.
Once again thank you for all your help

when we had a coal fire we had that problem and fitted a canopy thing (not sure if that is what it's called) to the fireplace. it did help a bit but I think a draught is what is required so that the chimey draws the smoke up.

what I mean by the canopy is it's like the peak on a cap

Like a baffle plate? I've got a baffle in my woodburner, that does the thing you're saying

Northern Ireland unfortunately doesn't get the good weather that the rest of the UK does, we didn't even get any of the recent heatwave that the UK had
