Wood burning stoves (also known as multi-fuel or log burning stoves) have been growing in popularity over the last one decade or so, particularly because of rapid raise in gas and electricity prices and in general because of modern trend to more natural light and warmth in the home has given these products a great boost to prices and demand.
Some wood-burning stoves are sometimes referred to as multi fuel because they can burn coal, charcoal or smokeless fuels as well as wood. This flexibility of use can be particularly useful if you live a in a smokeless zone or if you can not always get a ready supply of properly dried and treated wood to burn.All multifuel stoves are not approved to burn in smoke free zones rather there are defra approved models which are designed and approved for smoke free zones called “defra approved”
The wood fuel can be small pieces of a wood, or a even a full log depending upon the size of your stove you can use this wood in your wood burner.
If you are looking to buy a wood burning or multi fuel stove, you may consider a stove with "air wash" technology which is an airflow method of keeping smoke from accumulating inside of the glass window of your wood burning stove. It keeps your glass clean and gives you a clear view of your burning wood.
