Stove
Stoves are extra combustion heaters.
A heating stove is known for its performance and reliability; a good stove can alone effectively heat a small house.
The disadvantage is the logistical problems they may cause: supply, recharging fuel, connection to the flue, etc.
There are five main types of stoves, depending on the fuel used:
- Wood stove:
- Wood stove: the traditional stove that works with sticks
- Pellet stove, or pellets: the timber is in the form of granules
- Kerosene stove
- Gas stove
- Oil stove
- Bio ethanol stove
