What is the difference between a wood burning stove and a multi fuel stove?
Stoves that burn both wood, smokeless fuel and coal are called multi fuel stoves. A wood burner is used for burning wood only. Burning wood likes to sit on a bed of ash as it burns, but smokeless fuel requires a grate where air can enter from beneath and this may have an external lever or control called a riddling mechanism to shake the ash into the ash pan. The easiest way to see if you have a wood burning stove or multi fuel stove is too look for the grate.
