We've got a wood burning stove in our house. Or at least, I assume

You probably won't burn coal effectively unless there is a grate with
a gap underneath it. It it doesn't have a grate, then it's wood only.


It's got a grate and a draught control below it, and also a control to
alter the amount of air going up the chimney.

Keep the bit under the grate nice and clean and you can burn anything,
even old slippers if you want.
I've never heard of a stove glass melting though, I think that may be
from stopes.com.

If it's one of the Morso ones (like he

you've got yourself a really good one. With winter coming up, you have
my deepest envy.
