Log Burners: Can only burn wood. It will have a static fire grate (no moving parts) or burn straight off the base. The wood sits on a bed of ash and air can circulate over it. Wood can be extremely efficient as a fuel and provides the best flame effect. Another advantage is that the ash doesn't need emptying as often as other fuels.

Multi Fuel Stoves: Designed to burn smokeless fuels and wood together, resulting in a higher output of heat. The stove has either a grate with moving parts or a static grate with holes in. Probably the most attractive quality of a multi fuel stove is the ability to use different fuels to suit you.
