I respectfully disagree.  Granted, all wood-burning cookstoves burn wood and
someone or some device feeds in the wood.

But it is the existance of differences in designs and special ways of 
operation
(including where and how the air enters, and the size and entry of the wood)
that gives us so many distinctive stoves to study.  And some stoves 
such as the
Phillips and Reed stoves can be operated in two very distinct ways.
