What’s the difference between ‘multi-fuel’ or ‘woodburning’?

A wood burning stove can ONLY have dry wood burnt in it. This should preferably be hardwood, which can be sourced from local suppliers already seasoned or kiln dried.

With a multi-fuel, in addition to wood you can also burn anthracite, which is a smokeless coal. This will allow you to leave a bed of embers glowing for longer periods of time, such as overnight.

However, you should NEVER burn household coal or anything else not approved on your stove as this can irreparably damage both the stove itself and the flues it’s installed with.
