How can I tell if my stove is a wood-burner or multi-fuel?
As others have already pointed out, the best way to tell whether your stove is a woodburner
or a multi-fuel is by checking for a grate right at the bottom of the chamber. Stoves
that use only wood do not require a grate because wood burns best on a bed of ash.
Coal burners, on the other hand, require sufficient air inside the chamber, which is usually
made available through a grate at the bottom. If this grate is removable, then it is very
likely that it is a multi-fuel stove.
The question that many people ask after knowing the difference is which one is better
between the two. Surely, everyone has their own opinion on this, but from my personal
experience, wood stoves are a far better option than multi-fuel burners.
Not only do wood stoves cost significantly less, but they are also more environmentfriendly
and easily accessible. Let’s be honest here, how long will it be before we run out
of coal anyway? It’s just a matter of a couple of decades, according to some estimates.
Wood, however, is a renewable source of energy.
Additionally, the smoke coming out of burning woods is far more benign than the harmful
unburnt hydrocarbons that come out of burning coal. This is a very crucial consideration
for heating small spaces. I have been using a wood stove for tiny homes because, well,
my place is indeed just a mini condo. Yet another advantage of having a mini wood stove
is that it is portable, and you can move it in your RV, boat or any other small space at
your convenience.
So, between the two, it’s clear that wood stoves are a better choice, both economically
and environmentally. Nowadays, many websites are selling wood stoves online to deliver
direct to your doorstep. That's also beneficial for you as the current situation is getting
worse day by day because of COVID-19. You can visit Cubic Mini Wood Stoves online
