Default Solid fuel stove

This sort of thing:

have a hopper at the top you fill with pellets, and they control the rate of
pellets dropping to get whatever heat you dial it to.

However I can't imagine they would be good with coal, and the hopper is of
the 'lift up and pour from a sack' variety rather than 'blow in pellets from
your 1 ton store delivered by tanker'. So you're filling them from a sack
every day or two depending on how much you run it. Plus you need to empty
the ash pan.

A gas boiler it is not.
