Multifuel stove

Multifuel stove

A multifuel stove is very similar to a wood-burning stove in appearance and design. Multifuel refers to the capability of the stove to burn wood and also coal and peat. Stoves that have a grate for the fire to burn on and a removable ash pan are generally qualified as multifuel appliance.[1] If the fire simply burns on a bed of ash it's a wood fuelled appliance, and cannot be used for coal or peat.

As people turn to alternative ways of heating such stoves have become increasingly popular.[2]
