What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to use more than one type of fuel. They create a controlled space for different kinds of wood or smokeless fuels.

The stoves are equipped with an open firebox in which the fuel is positioned and lit. They also have a door for access, a window, and air vents to regulate the air supply and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi-fuel stoves have an adjustable flame control. This is a great feature for cooking and heating the stove on the same one. You can adjust the heat to your needs, and cook/heat your food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves have an air vent built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire burning after you've finished cooking and can be used to eliminate any noxious gasses.

In contrast to Wood Burning Stoves that are only compatible with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves allow you to use any combustible solid fuel like coal, peat etc in addition to well-seasoned wood logs. Coal is being gradually disregarded as it is not suitable for smoke control areas and may produce more toxic fumes than seasoned wood.

To light a fire in a multi fuel stove, simply open the door and put some paper or fire lighters amid dry twigs and dry kindling on the grill. Light the firelighters or paper and wait until the kindling is alight. When the kindling is alight you can then add the kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, allowing you to create a fire bed which will allow your logs to burn more efficiently.

A multi-fuel stove of good quality will come with an ash pan as well as a grate carrier frame to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Certain stoves with modern technology have an inbuilt grate carrier that allows more air to pass through while the logs are burning.

If you're planning to backpack or camp with your multi burner stove it is recommended to choose one that has an advanced design for pot support, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo that are better able to endure windy conditions. Non-integrated canisters leave more the fire unprotected. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the more recent MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that is clamped to the stove's side to increase performance in stormy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves are able to regulate the airflow so that the fire is burning at the optimal rate. This allows the stove to produce heat at an efficient rate, avoiding waste gases and smoke escaping into the room. It also allows the stove to work with different types of fuels, like coal. This is crucial since some solid fuels can't be used in smoke control areas, and others are dirtier or more expensive than electric wood stove.

Unlike wood burning stoves, which are typically set up with an unmoving grate or riddling grate system, multi-fuel stoves have an integrated raised riddling grate to allow combustion air to flow beneath the fuel, and make it simple to remove ash from the ash pan. A lot of our multi fuel stoves also come with a range of cutting-edge technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash which help ensure that the stove is burning at its optimal level for each kind of fuel.

The primary and secondary air controls are used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. You can choose to operate them by hand or automatically. The variable airflow feature allows the user to regulate the amount of primary and second air is supplied to the stove, so as to ensure that the fire is burning at its highest efficiency for every type of fuel.

It is best to select wood that has been kiln-dried and are low in moisture. Keep the stove in good condition and add small amounts to the fire frequently. Do not close the air supply completely however, as this could cause a vortex to draw volatile compounds that have not been burned back into the fire. Instead, you should leave the stove door open to a point that's comfortable for you and only add wood when it's visible through the glass pane. Place the log horizontally on the top of the glowing embers so that it doesn't contact the stove's sides or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

A multi-burner stove is the best choice if you want the ability to burn a variety of fuels. In addition to wood logs a multifuel stove can also burn turf briquettes or peat, anthracite coal and many kinds of smokeless fuels. This means that you can take advantage of a wider range of heat sources and reduce the amount of time and money spent on buying and transporting different types of fuel.

A lot of outdoor wood burning stove (visit this site) burning stoves have primary, secondary and often tertiary air vents to help regulate the flame pattern and improve efficiency. The use of these air vents means that you can adapt the stove to a particular kind of fuel and get an optimal fire with a high heat output. This is especially useful since the prices of different fuels can differ greatly.

You can also utilize a multifuel stove heat a domestic water system. This will allow you to provide hot water to your home. Certain models can also be used as boilers to heat the hot water tank to be used by household. This way, you can make your house warm and cosy without having to turn on your central heating system.

One of the major distinctions between a multi fuel stove and a traditional log burner is that the former can only be used to burn wood logs. If you use a wood burner to burn other types of solid fuel, it's likely to require addition of a special grate and an ash pan as these types of fuels do not burn the same way as logs do.

Multifuel stoves have grates made of metal that are located at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and help keep the flame burning. This is due to the fact that coal for instance, requires a lot of combustion air to stay alight. As a result, multifuel stoves are typically equipped with a riddler that can be removed and empty when the fire is burning to avoid the accumulation of ash that blocks the flow of air.

Cleanburn

A multi fuel stove is beneficial since it allows you to burn wood, smokeless coal and even some mineral fuels. However, it is important to select a high-quality wood or wood pellet that is properly seasoned and kiln dried to below 20% moisture content.

When wood is heated, gases and particles that have accumulated within the wood throughout its life are released. Older fireplaces and stoves release a significant amount of these straight up the chimney along with the heat, resulting in lower efficiency and poor air quality indoors. New stoves that make use of Cleanburn technology effectively burn these gases and particles. This technology reduces emissions, improves the efficiency of combustion and reduces temperatures of the flue gas.

Jotul has big goals in the area of climate change, which is the reason we have designed all of our wood-burning appliances using cleanburn technology. We also have created our own Cleanburn additive that helps your stove burn cleaner and reduces the amount of soot accumulation on the walls of your firebox and stove glass, particularly when you're using high moisture content wood or softer fuels like softwood.

A stove that has cleanburn technology is a must for anyone who relies on wood as their main source for heating. It is a great option to improve the air quality inside your home. If you live in a city or town that is classified as a smoke-free zone and you want to switch to a cleaner-burning stove will keep you within the limits of these regulations and could help people who suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Our multi fuel stoves with cleanburn technology feature secondary air and a pre-heated tertiary system and a plain steel or vermiculite stove base for optimal combustion. The tertiary air system that is pre-heated which is normally found only on the highest end stoves, helps prevent soot and ash from sticking to the glass of the stove and allows more of the gasses 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 to create a cleaner, more efficient carbon neutral flame as well as reduce the amount of soot that accumulates on the inside of the firebox of your stove.
