What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi-burner stove is designed to burn a variety of types of fuel. They create a controlled space for different kinds of wood or smokeless fuels.

They have a firebox into which the fuel is inserted and ignited, a door to access it, a glass window and air vents that let you control the amount of air that is supplied to the stove while limiting how fast the fire is burning.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves have an adjustable flame height control. This is a great feature when cooking and heating with the same stove since it allows you to set the heat of your fire to match your requirements and cook or heat powered wood stove fan food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves have an air vent that is built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire burning after you've finished cooking and can be used to expel any noxious fumes.

In contrast to Wood burning Stoves which are only compatible with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves allow you to use any solid fuel that is combustible, such as peat, coal and so on in addition to seasoned wood logs. Coal is being gradually disregarded since it isn't suitable for smoke control zones and may produce more toxic fumes than seasoned wood.

To ignite a fire on a multi fuel stove, simply open the door and place some fire lighters or paper amid dry twigs and dry kindling on the grill. Then, you can light the paper or firelighters and wait for the kindling to catch alight. Once the kindling has caught the light, you can add the kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, allowing you to create a fire bed which will allow your logs to burn more efficiently.

A stove that is multi-fuel and of good quality will come with an ash pan as well as a grate carrier frame so that you can take out the ash without opening the door. Some modern stoves have built-in grate carrier frames designed to enhance the combustion of your logs allowing more air to move through the stove when the logs are in the fire bed and burning.

If you are planning to camp or backpack with your multi-burner stove it is recommended that you purchase one with advanced pot support, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil MiniMo. These can better stand up to windy conditions. Canister stoves that are not integrated tend to leave more of the flame visible, while the MSR PocketRocket and the newer MSR WindMaster feature a unique clamp-on pot support that hugs the sides of your stove, helping to improve performance in gusty conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove can regulate airflow, allowing the fire to burn at a maximum rate. The stove produces heat efficiently, and the room is not cluttered with waste gases or smoke. It also permits the stove to be used with various types of fuel, such as coal. This is especially important as certain kinds of solid fuel aren't able to be used in smoke control areas and some are more soiled and more expensive than wood.

Contrary to wood burning stoves which are usually set up with a static grate or riddling grate, multi fuel stoves feature an incorporated raised riddling grate that allows combustion air to flow beneath the fuel, and make it easy to remove the ash from the ash pan. Multi fuel stoves come with a range of cutting-edge technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies help ensure that the stove runs at its optimal level for each type of fuel.

Modern multi fuel stoves can be adjusted by using the air primary and secondary controls. They can be operated either manually or automatically, depending on your preference. The adjustable airflow feature allows you to control the amount of primary and second air is supplied to your stove. This will ensure that it is burning at its most efficient level for each type fuel.

To optimise the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's recommended to use kiln dried logs that are low in moisture content. Keep the stove in good working order and add small amounts to the fire on a regular basis. Do not close the air supply completely, however, as this can create a vortex that draws volatile compounds that have not been burned back into the fire. Instead, try to leave the door to the stove open to a point that's comfortable for you, and only add wood that is visible through the glass pane. When a log is added put it on the glowing embers, so that it doesn't touch the sides of the stove or the bottom of the grate bars.

Adjustable Temperature

A multi-burner stove is the best choice if you want the flexibility of burning different fuels. In addition to wood, multifuel stoves can also burn turf briquettes or peat, anthracite coal and a number of kinds of smokeless fuels. You can now enjoy an array of heating sources, and save time and money by not having to buy and transport various types of fuel.

Many wood burning stoves feature primary, secondary and often secondary air vents that help regulate the flame pattern and increase efficiency. These air vents allow you to set the stove to a specific fuel type and achieve optimum heat output. This is particularly useful since the price of various fuels can be very different.

You can also utilize a multifuel stove heat water systems for domestic use. This allows you to supply hot water to your home. Some models can be used as boilers to heat the hot water tank for household use. You can warm up your home without turning on the central heating system.

One of the main distinctions between a multi-fuel stove and a traditional log burner is that the latter can only be used to burn wood logs. If you intend to use the wood burner to burn other types of solid fuel, then it's likely to require the addition of a special grate as well as an ash pan as these types of fuel don't burn the same way as logs do.

Multifuel stoves have a metal grates at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and help keep the flame burning. This is because coal for instance, requires lots of combustion air to stay burning. Therefore, multifuel stoves are usually equipped with a riddler that can be removed and emptied when the fire is burning to avoid a accumulation of ash that blocks the air flow.

Cleanburn

The multi fuel stove is great because it can use smokeless coal, wood and even some mineral fuels. It is crucial to use top-quality wood or wood pellets that have been properly seasoned, and kiln-dried down to less than 20% moisture.

When wood is heated, gases and particles that have accumulated up within the wood burning stove over time are released. Older wood stoves or fireplaces release a lot of these gases and particles directly up the chimney with the heat. This results in poor indoor air quality and lower efficiency. New stoves equipped with Cleanburn technology, on the other hand efficiently burn these gases and particles. This reduces emissions and results in an efficient combustion and significantly lower flue gas temperatures.

Jotul has big goals in the area of climate change, which is why we design all our wood-burning appliances using cleanburn technology. We have developed our own Cleanburn add-on that helps your stove burn cleaner and lessens soot buildup on your stove glass and firebox walls, particularly when you use fuels with high moisture content.

Cleanburn wood stoves are a must-have for anyone who uses firewood as their primary source of heat. They can also be an excellent way to improve the your air quality in your home. If you reside in a city or town that is designated as a smokeless zone, then switching to a cleaner-burning stove will allow you to stay within the limits of these regulations and can make a significant difference for people suffering from asthma and other respiratory problems.

Cleanburn stoves from our multi-fuel stoves feature secondary air and a preheated tertiary tertiary system, as well as the stove's base made of plain steel or vermiculite for the best combustion. The tertiary-air system that is pre-heated, which is normally found only on top-end stoves, assists in preventing soot and ash sticking to the glass of the stove and allows more gasses produced during combustion to be burned.

The Cleanburn additive from Jotul can be used in conjunction with the pre-heated tertiary-air-system to enhance your stove's combustion performance further It is a fantastic method to create an efficient, cleaner, carbon neutral flame and reduce the accumulation of soot on the firebox's inner wall of your stove.
