[Boiler Classifications] By Fuel Used. Boilers may be designed to burn coal, wood, various grades of fuel oil, various types of fuel gas, or to operate as electric boilers. A boiler designed for one specific fuel type may not be convertible to another type of fuel. Some boiler designs can be adapted to burn coal, oil or gas. ... Coal-fired heating boilers have generally been unavailable due to lack of demand; however, recent demand has resulted in the re-introduction of coal-fired designs. 2, record 2, English, - coal%2Dfired%20boiler
