These stoves can be filled with logs or manufactured fuels such as coal and peat. They are typically able to combust both of these fuel types more effectively than traditional log burners. This is due to the fact that multi-fuel stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves designed to burn a variety of different fuels usually have a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate underneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes need a lot of air underneath them to ignite and 349338 burn properly. The majority of multi-fuel stoves feature a secondary airflow that can be opened or shut depending on the type of fuel. This will help to keep the fire burning by supplying a second supply of air to the stove, and will increase the efficiency of combustion.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace generates heat, which is later dispersed to the room. This is done either by radiation, where the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflect heat back into the room, or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, heats it up and then directs it towards the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve the highest efficiency, and use secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and efficiently burn fuel.
