Multifuel or wood-only: which is right for you?

Both types heat a room beautifully. The right choice comes down to what you’ll actually burn and how you like to run a fire.

The practical difference

A wood-only stove burns logs on a flat bed of ash, which suits wood perfectly. A multifuel stove adds a raised grate and an ashpan so air can reach smokeless fuel from below — handy if wood is hard to source, or you want the option of both.

• Choose wood-only for the cleanest wood burning and simplest running
• Choose multifuel for flexibility between wood and smokeless fuel
• Either way, burn dry fuel and match the output to your room
