Multi Fuel Stoves

Multi-fuel stoves are different from wood burners because they can be used to burn eco-friendly solid fuels such as peat and coal. (Look for fuels that have been approved for use in Smoke Control Areas). They have a static or riddling grate that allows air to circulate under the fire for efficient combustion.

The ashes are collected in an ash pan that is emptied frequently. Most multi-fuel stoves have additional air vents that fuel the flames and also provide secondary or tertiary combustion.

Simple to operate

Multi fuel stoves can burn different materials other than wood. This lets you be flexible in the kind of fuel you can use for your campfire, especially when you live in an area where it may be difficult to get logs. This can help you save money over time by switching from costly logs to smokeless fuel.

Most multi fuel stoves include an elevated riddling grate that is designed to permit the combustion of wood, peat or turf briquettes as well in coal. This is a great option if you are planning to use your stove while camping in Smoke Control Area since it allows you the option of using smokeless fuel (as as long as it's DEFRA approved).

Additionally, a lot of multifuel stoves come with built-in air wash systems which help to prevent soot from building up on the inside of the glass. Soot accumulation is not just unsightly, but also affects your ability to see the flame which can affect the output of heat from the stove. This feature is standard on all of our stoves, and we highly recommend it for all users.

A multifuel stove may also be used with liquid or solid fuels, making it more versatile. This means you'll have more options for food when you aren't able to access wood or don't have the ability to carry extra fuel in your pack. This could make a huge difference in how you'll enjoy hiking.

The vast majority of multifuel stoves are user-friendly. Most have a single air control that is specifically designed to supply the correct amount of primary and secondary air depending on the place the place where the stove is in its burn cycle and the type of fuel used. This makes for a simple to operate and efficient stove that you can install quickly and easily in the field. Some models also have an electric spark igniter which can be useful in the lighting of the stove. It can add weight to the stove, but it's an effective tool for many users.

Easy to Clean

Multi fuel stoves are easy to keep clean and looking good, especially when you regularly sweep any ash or dust. You can also use soft cloths to wipe the surface of your stove in the event that they're not damp. Keep your stove clean to prevent any damage that may occur due to a buildup of toxic residue.

The air wash system is found in most modern models of multi-fuel stoves. This lets a stream of cooler air through the glass of your stove which helps to stop byproducts from the fire stove settling on the glass and obscuring your view of the flame. This is a wonderful feature for multi fuel stoves, but you still have to regularly clean the glass on your multi fuel stove.

Typically, when cleaning your multi fuel stove, you will need to empty the ash pan built-in under the grate. This is fairly easy to do. Also, you should clean the main and second vents regularly. These are the two sections of your chimney that are used to eliminate the waste gases from your home. This is particularly important if you regularly burn coal since it can release a lot more harmful byproducts than wood logs.

It is recommended to get your chimney cleaned more often if you use coal regularly in your multifuel stove than if only burning wood. This is because coal will emit much more carbon dioxide than wood logs. Having your chimney swept more often will help keep from the build-up of dangerous creosote deposits within your chimney, which could then cause a chimney fire or cause flue leaking.

It is also crucial to make sure you use a high-quality fuel in your multifuel stove, and you should use a mix of hardwoods over softwoods. Hardwoods have a harder grain that is more resistant to the soot that may form on the inside of your multifuel stove. The use of a high-quality fuel will ensure that your stove's glass isn't easily ruined by blackening. It will also last longer without the need for regular cleaning with a stove cleaner spray.

Longevity

Multifuel stoves provide the user with an extensive range of fuel options. They allow the burning of logs, wood pellets, coal and smokeless fuel in a controlled atmosphere. These types of stoves tend to be cheaper than traditional wood burning stoves since you can purchase the required fuel from many local sources and adjust this based on your personal needs and budget.

Multifuel stoves can also burn liquid biofuels like white gas, Coleman Fuel (also known as Coleman Fuel), isobutane/propane and aviation fuel. This allows the user to use their stove almost everywhere in the world. It is great for cycling, backpacking or travelling to remote locations because these stoves can run on fuel that is available locally.

They can reach high temperatures, which allows them to burn fuel more efficiently. The more hot fire allows secondary combustion to occur which in turn enhances the output of heat from the stove. Multifuel stoves have air controls which can be adjusted according to the type of fuel utilized. This ensures that the right mix of secondary and primary air is provided and improves the overall efficiency.

The steel shell of a multifuel stove assists to keep the heat in for a longer period of time after the fire has been put out. This is a major benefit over wood-burning stoves which lose heat faster when the flames are gone.

A multifuel stove is much more user-friendly than a wood-burning stove. These stoves have simple to grasp control knobs that can be operated by a single person, making them more convenient for a family or a group of users to use. These stoves must be constantly monitored, because they could cause carbon monoxide poisoning if not. It is crucial to only burn kiln dried wood below 20% moisture content with multifuel stoves. It is not recommended to use household coal, rubbish or any other petroleum-based fuel with a high percentage on a multifuel stove as they can cause damage to the appliance and produce dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide.

Eco-Friendly

A multifuel stove is a great option if you're looking to save money and the environment at the same time. They can be used to burn logs, wood coal, peat, or anthracite, and even double as a boiler stove heating a hot water tank. They are perfect for those who live in areas where it is difficult to get local firewood or if you are looking to cut your heating costs by switching to electric heating.

It is essential to select wood that has been seasoned or kiln-dried. This will decrease the amount and toxic substances produced. It is also important to choose an all-fuel stove that meets Ecodesign 2022 standards. This means that it can produce more heat with less fuel, and it must have an efficiency that is seasonal, at least 65 percent.

Multifuel stoves are popular since they can burn a variety of materials. However, the process of burning can produce a lot waste and pollutants, which is why it's essential to ensure that the stove is regularly cleaned. Modern multifuel stoves are equipped with air wash systems that automatically clean the glass so that you can see clearly the flames.

Multifuel stoves can also be used in a situation of emergency as a heat source if the power goes out. If you decide to use your stove wood burning as emergency heating, it is crucial to burn just a small amount at a time, and never more than a log per hour. This will prevent a huge accumulation of ash and prevent it from obstructing the air supply to the main source.

Some stoves can be made to burn canister-type fuels, such as diesel and kerosene. This is great for those who plan to go camping or hike. These kinds of stoves are very popular with backpackers as they help them to not have to eat ramen soup for dinner during their journey! However, we do not recommend this for all stoves and advise you to consult a specialist before converting yours.
