There are many kinds of boiler stoves, and they differ both by design and construction, and by the type of fuel used, starting from the tradition wood and going all the way to industrial-era type fuels like gas and oil with wood pellets somewhere in between. Each type of boiler stove that uses a specific type of fuel has inherent pluses and minuses. A multifuel stove is an attempt to bring together all the pros of coal, peat, pellet and wood burners with minimal cons. The idea behind such stoves is to have a design which allows you to burn at least two types of fuel, such as wood and wood pellets or wood and coal, but a typical specimen can be able to handle sawdust, wooden logs, peat, coke, coal, and wood chippings and pellets.

They say that history repeats itself, and while the academic circles will scoff at the statement, it appears to be true regarding the shift from central heating systems back to the good old personal heating, most often represented by boiler stoves. There are many kinds of boiler stoves, and they differ both by design and construction, and by the type of fuel used, starting from the tradition wood and going all the way to industrial-era type fuels like gas and oil with wood pellets somewhere in between. Each type of boiler stove that uses a specific type of fuel has inherent pluses and minuses. For instance, wood burning boiler stoves are typically the most economical and ecological, but they can be a bit messy and hard to operate.

On the other hand, gas and oilboiler stoves are significantly cheaper to install, and have a number of other pluses. For instance, they need significantly less servicing, operate much more cleanly, don’t need as much space, are more controllable and are cheaper to install. However, they’re not without cons, as such stoves are not carbon neutral, have higher running costs (especially if price hikes are considered) and aren’t as stylish. Pellet stoves are very much like wood burning stoves. They are more economical than their gas or oil counterparts, and they are carbon neutral, but they differ from wood burning boiler stoves in that they require electricity to operate, are slightly more expensive to operate and usually require less service. And there are also coal and peat boiler stoves, all with their strong and weak sides.

A multifuel stove is an attempt to bring together all the pros of coal, peat, pellet and wood burners with minimal cons. The idea behind such stoves is to have a design which allows you to burn at least two types of fuel, such as wood and wood pellets or wood and coal, but a typical specimen is able to handle sawdust, wooden logs, peat, coke, coal, and wood chippings and pellets.Unfortuantely,multifuel stoves are not designed to handle fuels such as oil and gas, as the large capacity boiler will require a lot of oil or gas to be burned, thus resulting in massive operational costs. However, coal and wood sawdust, logs and pellets are comparatively cheap, and that makes a multifuel stove an economical and practical way to heat up your home.
