When choosing a stove, one of the first questions to ask is: should I go for wood-only or multi-fuel stove? Both have their advantages, and the choice depends on your lifestyle.


Wood-Burning Stoves
Pros: Beautiful flames, sustainable if using seasoned logs, carbon-neutral when sourced responsibly.
Cons: Requires regular log supply, best suited to rural areas with storage space.
Multi-Fuel Stoves
Pros: Can burn smokeless coal as well as logs, longer burn times, flexible fuel choice.
Cons: Slightly higher maintenance due to ash removal.
Installation Needs
Both types require a safe flue system. Homes with chimneys benefit from a flexible flue liner, while chimney-free homes can use twin wall flues.
Which is Right for You?
If you love the ritual of log burning and have storage space, wood is perfect. If you want longer, steady heat, multi-fuel might be better.
