Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are a great choice for homeowners who would like to use a wood-burning stove but do not have room for log storage. They can be filled with either logs or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal Briquettes. These stoves are usually capable of combusting both these fuel types more effectively than traditional log burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves have been designed to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves built to burn a variety of different fuels usually have a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate underneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels like peat and turf briquettes need lots of air beneath for them to be ignited and burn properly. Most multi fuel stoves also have a secondary air flow which can be closed or opened depending on the type of fuel you're using. This can help keep the fire going by supplying an additional supply of air to the stove and can also increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems inside a fireplace can be used to adjust the height of the flame and also the temperature. This is crucial as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat. Making sure you keep the flame's height and temperature in check will ensure that your stove is operating as efficiently as it can and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

You will also need to remove the ash from your stove regularly and then store it in a bucket or ash pan. This will prevent too much of the ash from getting on the grate bars and preventing the fuel from burning properly. It is also necessary to clean your stove's glass regularly to avoid any discolouration.

Pellet stoves are an excellent alternative to traditional multi-fuel stoves. They use compressed wood or biomass to create a high-quality fire that is extremely efficient. The pellets are made of scrap materials like sawdust, and other wood products so this makes it a very environmentally friendly option. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven so they can be used for cooking also. They usually have a bigger flue outlet than the standard 6" (150mm) but they can still be used with a 5" (125mm) liner for safety reasons. This is an advantage where it might be difficult to install an ordinary 6" (150mm) stove or the chimney stack has awkward bends in it.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace generates heat that is dispersed to the room. It does this via radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove reflect heat back into the room or by convection, where it draws cold air from outside, heats it up, and then redirects it back into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximize the efficiency of their heat output making use of secondary and tertiary air sources to minimize emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible.

One of the best examples is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is both Defra and Ecodesign approved.

The stove comes in six different finishes, and you can also put a top plate on it to cook on.

Multifuel stoves can be extremely efficient in the way they use wood, though you will need to follow your appliance's guidelines for the best results and ensure that it is regularly inspected by an expert. The choice of fuel is also crucial, as different types of fuels burn at varying rates and generate different amounts of energy. You'll need to decide if you would like the fire producing a lot heat quickly or for those who prefer a longer and slow burn that generates a warm atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, it is crucial to know that only DEFRA approved stoves can burn approved wood and smokeless coal. If you try to burn other types of fuel, it may cause a significant fine and may damage your stove too.
