The most obvious example of this is the grate Coal burns best on a raised grate since it needs an air supply from below to burn effectively Wood doesn t need this additional air supply so when you re using wood on a multi fuel stove you might find that it burns faster than on a wood burning stove because of the extra oxygen around it
