This means you can burn certain types wood in your stove so long as it's "ready to burn firewood' with an moisture level of less than 20%.

Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel that was first discovered about 300 million years ago. In this time, swamps with giant plants and ferns were prevalent on Earth. When these plants died they submerged in the water and eventually produced a substance known as peat. It was then buried under layers of rock and other substances until it was compressed into solid coal.

When coal is burnt, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and sulphur dioxide that can cause pollution of the air. Sulphur dioxide is a major contributor to acid rain, which may damage lakes and rivers, harming wildlife and damaging crops. Many countries including the United States, have banned the use of coal due to the threat of acid rain.

Although coal emits many pollutants, it is still an important part of the heating world. It is the most used fossil fuel and comes at an affordable price when relative to other fossil fuels like oil and natural gas.
