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.
Possibly a bit like the Parkray solid fuel central heating boiler and room
heater we had yea those many years ago.
Poured anthracite pellets in the hopper at the top and raked ash and
clinker out of the bottom.
Worked well for a village without gas.
I don't think you could have cooked on it - the top was where the lid for
the hopper was.
We used a sold fuel Rayburn for cooking.
