Multi Fuel Stoves

Multi-fuel stoves are different from wood burners because they can be used to burn eco-friendly solid fuels like peat and coal. (Look for fuels that are approved for use in Smoke Control Areas). They feature a riddling or static grate to help air circulate underneath the fire for effective combustion.

The ashes are deposited into an ash pan below which is required to be regularly empty. The majority of multi-fuel stoves have additional air vents that feed the flames or provide an additional or third combustion.

It is also essential to use high-quality fuel in your multifuel stove. Ideally, you should try to make use of a mixture of hardwoods and softwoods. Hardwoods are harder and more resistant to the buildup of soot on the inside of multifuel stoves.

They can reach high temperatures, which allows them to burn the fuel more efficiently. The more hot fire allows secondary combustion to occur which further increases the heat output of the stove. Multifuel stoves typically have air controls which can be adjusted based on what type of fuel is being used to ensure that the right mixture of primary and secondary air is delivered, which enhances the overall efficiency of the stove.

The aluminum shell of the multifuel stove allows it to keep the heat for a longer duration after the fire is out. This is a big benefit over wood-burning stoves which tend to lose heat more quickly once the flames are out.

A multifuel stove is much easier to operate than a wood burning stove. They are simple to operate by a single person and have control knobs that are simple to grasp. This makes them ideal for families or groups of people. However, these stoves require monitoring while they are alight as failure to do this could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. When using a multifuel burner it is crucial to burn only wood that has a moisture content below 20%. You should never burn household coal, garbage or any other petroleum-based fuel that is high in percentage on a multifuel stove as these can damage the appliance and cause dangerous gases like carbon monoxide.

Eco-Friendly

A multifuel stove is an excellent option for those who want to save money and the planet at the same time.

This means that it can produce more heat while using less fuel, and it must be able to achieve an efficiency that is seasonal, at least 65%.

Multifuel stoves are popular because they can burn many different materials. However, the process of combustion produces a lot of pollutants and waste. This is why it's important to keep the stove regularly cleaned. Modern multifuel stoves come with air wash systems that automatically clean the glass, allowing you to see the flames clearly.
