A wood burning stove is used solely for burning wood.
A wood burning stove will have no grate or ashpan – wood is simply burned on the base of the stove, usually in the bed of ash from the night before. This means that a wood burning stove can fit more logs inside than the equivalent sized multi fuel model.
Wood burning stoves are generally cleaner than using other kinds of solid fuel, plus as wood is a renewable source of energy, which is carbon neutral, it is friendlier to the environment.
With a multi fuel stove you can burn smokeless coal, wood or peat, which is why they are sometimes referred to as solid fuel stoves.
Multi fuel stoves are now far easier and cleaner to use than ever before.
When using smokeless coal in a multi fuel stove, a higher and more even temperature will be achieved due to the slower burn rate and this is ideal for overnight burning.
There are many different stoves available to choose from but PLEASE NOTE that only registered installers are approved to fit wood burning and solid fuel stoves.
