You are on the right track with a plurality of stoves for a plurality of
purposes.

The problem is that the more versatile a stove must be, the more compromises
that have to be made. Invariably one pays a big price in performance and
efficiency for universality. The more specific the design parameters that
the designer employs, the better th job he can do at accomplishing that
task.
