The difference between a fireplace and a stove lay in their design, installation location, and usage. The fireplace was installed on the wall for heating and decoration, while the stove was an independent device that could be placed anywhere for heating and cooking. Fireplaces used wood or coal as fuel, and flames burned in the fireplace to produce heat. The stove could use a variety of fuel, such as wood, coal, natural gas, or liquefied petrol gas. The flame burned in the stove, producing heat, and the hot air was transported to the room through pipes or fans.

The design not only provides heat but also adds to the grandeur of the building. They are usually built with special materials and construction techniques to ensure safety and proper ventilation.
