Modern heating technology has transformed the way we keep our homes warm. From classic wood-burning stoves to convenient pellet stoves, let’s discuss the difference between the stove types.

The main types of stoves can be broken down into three categories: 1) Wood-burning, 2) Multifuel and 3) Pellet.

1. Wood-Burning Stoves

Also known as wood burners or log burners, these are the most popular choice for solid fuel heating. They burn wood fuel (such as firewood or WillowWarm briquettes) to create a cosy, strong heat.

Tip: Make sure to use ready-to-burn wood fuel such as WillowWarm briquettes. Burning wet, treated, or waste wood can cause dangerous waste deposits and increase the chance of fire hazards.

2. Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves offer flexibility. They can burn wood fuel like a wood-burning stove, but can also handle smokeless fuels thanks to their unique design. A built-in grate allows airflow for efficient combustion of many different fuel types.

Tip: Never burn multiple fuel types at the same time, as this can damage your stove.

3. Pellet Stoves

Pellet stoves combine warmth with convenience. They burn compressed wood pellets and feature digital controls for easy temperature regulation. Pellets are fed automatically from a hopper, maintaining consistent heat without any manual effort, saving you a trip up from your cosy couch!

No matter which stove you choose, WillowWarm has you covered.

Our carbon-neutral briquettes work perfectly in wood-burning and multifuel stoves, while our premium pellets are ideal for pellet stoves.
