Materials for burning

You will need to check with your stove fitting professional that the particular stove you are buying is compatible with the type of fuel you want to use it with. In some areas of the UK, wood burning stoves are not allowed unless they have an approved smokeless fuel burner.

You can also add more fuel to your fire with multi-fuel fireplace. This can be an excellent option if you do not have the time or the space to gather your own firewood. Add a few pieces anthracite, or other smokeless fuels to the embers in your log burner to help keep the flames burning.

It is crucial to clean regularly the ash pan as well as the grate when using a wood stove. This will ensure your stove runs at its maximum effectiveness.

Only use high-quality fuels that are appropriate for your stove. Wood that is not of high quality can create smokey unhealthy air and harm your stove. Only burn seasoned wood, not green or newly cut logs.

You can also purchase a multi-fuel stove designed to work with gas sources. These kinds of stoves are often referred to as balanced flue stoves and are ideal for new homes which have been sealed and do not have a traditional masonry chimney. They use twin flue pipes. One pipe is used to expel hot gases from the stove, while another pipe pulls in fresh air to help balance the flow.

Installation

You should consider a stove that has the capacity to heat up to 5kw if are looking for a stove that is suitable for a small space. This size stove is cheaper than larger ones, but still has enough heat for the majority of rooms. It's essential to choose a stove that's the right size for the space you have. Over-sized stoves can either be too hot or not reach their maximum temperature.

A wood stove has to be fitted by a HETAS-registered installer, as this guarantees that all of the work is done to the building regulations. This includes installing the hearth, building a chimney, and constructing the flue or liner. The installer should also ensure that there enough space around the stove to meet building regulations requirements. The requirements include 150mm clearance between the sides and the back of the stove, and the 225mm space that is in the front. You can check the manufacturer's brochure for more details on these requirements.

If you are installing a new stove, it will be necessary to install an entirely new chimney breast, unless you plan on keeping the opening that is already in place. The cost will vary based on the size and material of the hearth and the amount of work required to construct the chimney. It is essential to employ an HETAS-registered engineer to do the work, since this will save you money in the end.

Safety

If you're planning on installing a multi fuel stove or log burner in your home, it is essential to adhere to some basic safety precautions. These safety measures are crucial to ensure that your log burner runs smoothly and is not an fire hazard. For instance, it is a good idea to place a fireguard around your stove, particularly if you have children. It is also important that you never operate a stove if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These substances can affect your coordination and concentration and could result in an accident.

It is crucial to open the air vents as wide as possible when you light the first fire on your multi-fuel stove. This will allow the maximum amount of oxygen to enter the flames as is possible. This will increase the heat output and allow the fire to catch on more quickly. Once the fire is alight, however, the air vents should be shut to restrict the flow of oxygen and stop the flames from igniting through the combustible material in the fireplace.

Depending on the type of fuel you use, you may require adjusting the vents in the course of the fire. Wood requires constant supply of air in order to burn efficiently, while coal needs less. It is also important to control the temperature of the stove, since an operating temperature that is too high could cause damage to the stove by generating creosote. It is essential to follow the instructions in the manual for your stove and keep it within its operating temperature range.

You can also add heat shields to reduce the clearance required from burning combustibles in the vicinity of your stove. These can be purchased from most hardware stores and are typically made of a thick galvanised steel for maximum protection. They can be easily fitted behind your stove and reduce the minimum distance from burning materials to 150mm on the rear and sides, and 225mm at the front. This will ensure that your stove is safe and complies with building regulations as well as manufacturer recommendations.
