How it's used
Refers specifically to a device for generating heat through combustion, often associated with older heating methods or industrial processes. While it can technically describe a kitchen stove, modern households typically use 爐頭 or 煤氣爐 to refer to gas burners used for cooking. The term carries a slightly traditional or rustic connotation compared to modern kitchen appliances.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 爐頭, which is the standard term for a kitchen stovetop burner. Using 火爐 to describe a modern kitchen range can sound like you are referring to a fireplace or a large industrial furnace.
