Why don't I just install a big multi-fuel stove?
Some people just install a bigger stove anyway, but this isn't a good idea and here's why.

Secondly, it will simply dominate the room and look out-of-place, it may even be a safety hazard. And thirdly, the stove will cost a lot more, so why pay more?
