What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one type of fuel. They create a controlled environment that allows different kinds of smokeless and wood fuels to burn to produce heat.

The stoves are equipped with a firebox where the fuel is put in and ignited. They also have a door that allows access, a window and air vents to regulate the supply of air and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi-fuel stoves have an adjustable flame control. This is a great feature when cooking and heating with the same stove since it allows you to adjust the temperature of your fire to match your needs and cook/heat food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves come with an air vent built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire burning after you've finished cooking. It also can be used to expel any harmful gases.

Contrary to Wood Burning Stoves which are only compatible with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves permit the use of any combustible solid fuel like peat, coal, etc. in addition to seasoned wood logs. Coal is being eliminated gradually because it is not suitable for use in areas of smoke control and produces more toxic gasses than seasoned wood.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove. Put some fire lighters or paper between the dry kindling grates. Light the firelighters or paper and wait until the kindling catches flames. When the fire is lit and you are ready to add your dried logs that have been kiln-dried on the top of it to create a bed. This will assist your logs to burn more efficiently.

A multi-fuel stove of high quality will come with an Ash pan and grate carrier frame to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Some modern stoves come with built-in grate carrier frames designed to enhance combustion of your logs by permitting more air to flow through the stove when the logs are placed in a fire bed and burning.

If you are planning to go camping or backpacking using your multi burner stove it is a good idea to purchase one that features an advanced pot support design such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo, which can better endure windy conditions. Non-integrated containers leave more of the fire unprotected. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the more recent MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that can be secured to the stove's side to improve performance during windy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves can regulate the airflow to ensure that the fire is burning at a high rate. This allows the stove to generate heat at a high efficiency that avoids waste gases and smoke from entering the room. It also permits the stove to work with different kinds of fuel, such as coal. This is important because some solid fuels are not suitable for use in smoke control areas, and others are dirtier or more expensive than wood.

In contrast to wood burning stoves which are usually set up with a static grate or riddling grate system, multi fuel stoves have an integrated raised riddling grate that allows combustion air to flow underneath the fuel, and make it easy to take away the ash from the ash pan. Many of our multi fuel stoves also come with a range of cutting-edge technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash, which help to ensure that the stove is running at its optimum level for each type of fuel.

The air primary and secondary controls are used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. They can be operated by hand or automatically, based on your preference. The adjustable airflow feature allows you to control how much secondary and primary air is supplied to your stove. This will ensure that it burns at the highest efficiency for the type of fuel you use.

It is recommended to select wood that has been dried in a kiln and are low in moisture. Keep the stove in good condition and add small wood burning stove amounts to the fire frequently. Don't close the air supply completely, but this could cause a vortex that sucks unburned volatile compounds back into the fire. Make sure to keep the stove door slightly open but not completely so that you can add wood only when it is visible through the glass. Place the log horizontally on the top of the glowing embers so that it does not get in the way of the stove's side or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

A multi-burner stove is a great option for those who want the versatility of burning a variety of fuels. A multifuel stove can be used for burning wood logs or turf briquettes, peat or turf as well as anthracite and other smokeless fuels. You can now choose from the wide variety of heat sources, and save time and money by not having to purchase and transport a variety of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves come with primary, secondary and occasionally third air vents to help regulate the flame's pattern and increase efficiency. The use of these air vents allows you to adjust the stove for the type of fuel you prefer and have a fire that is optimal with great heat output. This is particularly useful because the cost of different fuels can vary greatly.

You can also utilize a multifuel stove heat a domestic water system. This will allow you to provide hot water to your home. Some models can be used as a boiler to heat the tank of hot water for household use. You can even warm your home without having to turn on the central heating system.

One of the main differences between a multi fuel stove and the traditional log burner is that the latter is only able to burn wood logs. If you intend to make use of a wood stove to burn other solid fuels, it is likely that you'll require a special grate since they don't burn like logs.

Multifuel stoves are equipped with grates made of metal that are located at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and keep the flame burning. This is due to the fact that coal, for instance, needs a lot of combustion air in order to stay alight. Multifuel stoves come with riddlers that can be removed to empty the ash while the fire is still burning. This prevents ash from blocking the air flow.

Cleanburn

Multi-fuel stoves are excellent because they can burn wood, coal without smoke and even some minerals. But, it is essential to use a high quality wood or wood pellet that has been properly seasoned and dried to a lower moisture content.

When wood is heated, particles and gases that have built up in the wood over time are released. Older fireplaces and wood stoves release a lot of these up the chimney along with the heat, which results in low efficiency and poor air quality inside. New stoves that use Cleanburn technology effectively burn these particles and gases. This lowers emissions and leads to a more efficient combustion, as well as significantly lower temperatures of flue gas.

Jotul has high goals in the area of climate change, which is why we have designed all of our wood-burning appliances using cleanburn technology. We have also developed our own Cleanburn additive that can help your stove burn cleaner and reduces the amount of soot that builds up on your firebox walls and stove glass, especially when you use higher moisture content wood or other fuels with a lower moisture content such as softwood.

Cleanburn wood stoves are an essential item for anyone who uses firewood as their primary source of heat. They are also an excellent method to improve the air quality of your home. If you live in a city or town that is designated as a smokeless zone and you want to switch to a cleaner-burning stove will allow you to stay within the bounds of these regulations and can make a significant difference for people who suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Cleanburn stoves from our multi-fuel stoves include secondary air and a tertiary system that is preheated and an unadorned steel stove base or vermiculite for optimal combustion. The tertiary-air system that is pre-heated, which is usually only found on the top stoves, helps prevent ash and soot sticking to the glass of the stove and permits more gases that are produced during combustion to be burned.

The Cleanburn additive from Jotul can be used in conjunction with the pre-heated tertiary-air-system to improve your stoves combustion performance even more and is a great method of achieving a cleaner, more efficient carbon neutral flame as well as reduce soot deposits on the inside of the firebox of your stove.
