Choosing a 2 Kw Multi Fuel Stove

Multi-fuel stoves with the Defra ClearSkies Certification have low emissions which makes them ideal for smoke control areas. These wood burners inset, like the Morso 4412 or Mendip Woodland Large have a contemporary design.

Examine the stove's nominal heat output and ensure it is suitable for your home (checking clearances, commonly called distance to combustibles is also important). You can then work out how much heat you need to heat your home by using an online calculator.

Wood Burning

Wood burning multi fuel stoves use a variety of fuels including peat, logs and smokeless coal. They can be plugged into a secondary supply of air to ensure the highest efficiency. It is best not to burn liquid fuels, household coal, or products with a high amount of petroleum because they are harmful to your stove as well as the environment.

When selecting a wood stove, it is crucial to choose the correct heat output for your room size as the stove that is too large will waste energy and one that is too small will not work on a cold day. Our kW heat output tool will give you an idea of the amount of output that is needed for your particular space. Be aware that other factors like the quality of the room's insulated and the amount of windows can affect the kW required.

The stylish curved woodburning stoves are popular for modern homes and contemporary designs. These stoves are typically Eco Design 2022-compliant, and come with features like an airwash system that helps keep the glass free of deposits of ash. They may also have a tertiary inlet that improves combustion efficiency and reduces volatile gas emissions.

Certain multi-fuel stoves are able to be incorporated into fireplaces. They can also fit a standard chimney or a pre-fabricated one. Some are freestanding and can be set up in an open area. They are usually modern and minimalist in appearance and can include materials like steel or glass.

Smokeless Fuel

7kw multi fuel stove fuel stoves give you more flexibility in heating your home since they can burn smokeless fuels in addition to wood. If you reside in a Smoke Control Area then choosing a DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove is a great choice for ensuring compliance and keeping your home more hygienic.

The stove's design can play a significant part in causing more particulate emissions due to the combustion of solid fuels. The emission factor values can be affected by the design of the combustion room and the behaviour of the operator, as well as the manner in which fuel is placed in the stove. These variables can also influence the composition of PM in cooled and diluted flue gas.

For example certain stoves have an air setting that directs air over the fuel to regulate the speed of combustion when using fuels with high volatile content. Some stoves come with an ash pan that allows the ashes to fall in the central tray, rather than the chimney. This ensures the ash does not block the air supply.

Some stoves also have tertiary air inlets, which further enhance the combustion process and help to produce cleaner flue gases. These extra air intakes are a common feature of modern multifuel stoves, and help them reach high-efficiency levels required for the clearSkies certification.

Log Store

A multi fuel stove with log store is the perfect choice for those wanting an elegant design and a practical and convenient way to keep firewood at the ready. The log store increases the size of the viewing window on a stove which makes it easier to see the mesmerizing flame patterns. It also gives the stove a an elegant, tidy appearance and helps break up the symmetry in some models.

Contrary to pellet stoves and pellet stoves, eco multi fuel stoves are made from wood by-products such as sawdust and clean wood waste. Using this type of fuel saves you money on heating costs, and is great for the environment. Eco fuel burns more efficiently than traditional logs, and is often a good option for homeowners who have heating using oil or bottled gas.

Before buying a multi-fuel stove, you need to determine the size of the space it will be used in. All multi-fuel stoves are required to be compliant with UK building codes. There are also requirements regarding the height at which the flue can be placed and how far it should be from combustible materials.

Simply measure the length and width, as well as the height in meters to determine the size of your room. Then, divide this by 14 for a room that is well-insulated, 12 for average insulation and 10 for a room with poor insulation. This will give you an approximate kW output that the stove requires to be capable of heating your space.

Flame Projection

A multi-fuel stove can burn coal, wood or eco-logs. The firebox of the stove has an opening that allows various fuels to be loaded efficiently and safely. The combustion process is powered by air that passes through the grate and ignites the solid fuel. After the fuel has burned, the smouldering charcoal remains in the firebox and provide residual heat.

This size stove is perfect for smaller rooms as it produces a lot of heat. A multi-fuel stove must be selected that meets the heating requirements of your room. A stove that is too large could result in excessive operating costs and wasteful carbon dioxide emissions. Multiplying the dimensions of the room in metres will provide the heat needed for the room.

A multi-fuel electric stove is a great alternative for those looking for a genuine freestanding fireplace but don't have a chimney. The ACR Malvern Electric stove is a perfect example of this. It is a classic wood burner but features a 2kW output of heat and a 3D holographic flame projection. It comes with four different flame settings, and can be used with no heating for a more relaxing ambience. The stove can be controlled by the controls on the stove, or a 7-day intelligent wireless remote that can be programmed. The ACR Malvern has been fully certified by ClearSkies and is compliant with the 2022 Eco Design Regulations.

7 Day Programmable Intelligent Remote

A programmable, intelligent remote control can be used to operate your stove without leaving your chair. This is especially beneficial when you have children or pets. It also allows you save energy by reducing the fire's heat output when the room is not being used. The majority of multi fuel stoves feature this feature, but it's important to check before purchasing one that does not.

A multi-fuel stove can burn eco-logs, wood logs, and smokeless coke. They are a versatile heating solution that can be used in a variety of homes. They work the same as wood burning stoves and rely on air flow to ignite solid fuels and then burn them efficiently. They come with a grate to hold the fuel as well as secondary or tertiary intakes of air to help with improved combustion and lower emissions.

The Gazco Riva Vision electric stove comes with VeriFlame technology to offer the option of a variety of flame intensities, blue flame settings as well as three heat settings. It is available in a smart Jet Black metallic finish and is available as a gas stove or multi fuel stove model. Its eye-catching flame visuals glow over a realistic hand painted log-effect fuel bed and stunning enamel finishes to create a stylish designer stove. It is a DEFRA approved stove that can be used for Smoke Control Areas. It also complies with ECO Design 2022.

Heat output

Multi fuel stoves are available in many styles to suit your home. There are models that will fit a modern or contemporary decor, while others feature ornate details and classic cast iron construction for a traditional look. Choose from a wide range of colors to match your decor, too. There are also designs with an airwash system that makes use of the gentle flow of air to keep the glass clean, reducing the need for manual cleaning.

The heat output of stoves is measured in kW, and the packaging will show this figure. This method of testing however, is not always impartial. If manufacturers wish to make their stove appear more efficient, they can change the refuelling duration or the temperature they test at.

The calculation of the size of the room is the first step in determining the heat output of your stove. This is achieved by taking measurements of the length and width as well as the height of the space and multiplying these numbers to calculate the volume in cubic metres. This is the starting point. Once you have this number, you can use our stove size calculator to pick one with a minimal heat output that matches your requirements. Certain of our multi-fuel as well as wood stoves are DEFRA approved and SIA Ecodesign certified which helps reduce harmful particulates.
