What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi-burner stove is designed to burn different fuel types. They provide a controlled atmosphere for various types of wood or smokeless fuels.

They come with a firebox which the fuel is inserted and lit the door opens to access it, a glass window and air vents that allow you to moderate the stove's air supply while limiting the speed at which the fire burns.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi-fuel stoves feature an adjustable flame control. This is ideal if you are cooking and heating with the same stove because it allows you to adjust the heat of your fire to match your requirements and cook/heat food more efficiently. The majority of multi fuel stoves come with a built in air vent in the rear of the stove, which allows you to keep your fire burning even once you've finished using the stove. It can also be used to eliminate any harmful fumes from the stove.

Multi-fuel stoves are a great alternative to wood burning stoves that can only burn wood. They permit you to burn any solid fuel, such as peat, coal or peat. in addition to seasoned logs. Coal is being eliminated gradually as it is not suitable for areas with smoke control and may produce more toxic gasses than wood that is seasoned.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove and place some fire lighters or paper between dry kindling grates. Then, light the paper or firelighters and wait until the fire catches flames. Once the kindling has caught alight you can then add your kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, allowing you to build a bed that will help your logs burn more efficiently.

A multi-fuel stove of good quality will have an ash pan and grate carrier frame to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Certain newer stoves have built-in grate carriers frames designed to enhance the combustion of your logs allowing more air to pass through the stove when the logs are in the fire bed and burning.

If you plan to backpack or camp using your multi burner stove it is a good idea to choose one that has an advanced pot support design such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo which are able to better endure windy conditions. Non-integrated containers leave more of the fire unprotected. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the newer MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that is clamped to the side of the stove to improve performance during the windy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves are able to regulate the flow of air to ensure that the fire burns at its optimal rate. The stove can produce heat efficiently, and the space is not cluttered with waste gases or smoke. It also allows the stove to work with different types of fuel, such as coal. This is particularly important since certain kinds of solid fuel aren't able to be burned in smoke control areas, while others are more dirty and more expensive than wood.

Multi fuel stoves feature raised riddling grate that allows combustion air to flow underneath the fuel. This makes it easier to remove the ash from the ashpan. Multi fuel stoves are equipped with a variety of innovative technologies, such as Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies help ensure that the stove runs at a high level for each type of fuel.

Modern multi fuel stoves can be adjusted by using the air primary and secondary controls. They can be operated either manually or automatically, based on your preference. The adjustable airflow feature allows you to control the amount of primary and second air is pumped into your stove. This will ensure that it burns at its most efficient level for each type of fuel.

It is recommended to select logs that have been dried and kiln-fired, and have a low amount of moisture. Keep the stove in good working order and add small amounts of fuel to the fire on a regular basis. Close the air supply, but not completely. This can cause an air vortex that will draw any unburned volatiles into the fire. Instead, try to leave the stove door open to a degree that's comfortable for you and only add wood when it's visible through the glass pane. Place the log horizontally on top of the glowing embers so that it doesn't get in the way of the stove's side or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

A multi-burner stove is a great option if you want to have the versatility of burning a variety of fuels. A multifuel stove can be used for burning wood logs or turf briquettes, peat or turf along with anthracite and other smokeless fuels. This means you can enjoy more heating sources and decrease the amount of time and money you spend on buying and transporting different kinds of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves have primary secondary, third and even tertiary vents that help regulate the flame pattern. This increases efficiency. The utilization of these air vents allows you to adjust the stove for the type of fuel you prefer and have a fire that is optimal with a high heat output. This is particularly useful since the price of various fuels can be very different.

A multifuel stove can also be used to warm a domestic hot water system, which means you can provide your home with hot water. Some models can even be used as boilers to heat the hot water tank for use by the household. This means you can keep your house warm and cosy without the need to turn on your central heating system.

The primary difference between the multi-fuel stove and the log burner is the latter's capacity to only burn wood logs. If you plan to use a wood stove for other solid fuels, it is likely that you will require a special grate since they don't burn the same way as logs.

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 is, for instance, requires lots of combustion air to stay in flame. This is why multifuel stoves are typically fitted with a riddler which can be removed and emptied while the fire is still alight to prevent a build up of ash blocking the air flow.

Cleanburn

Multi-fuel stoves are great because they can burn coal, wood burning stoves for sale without smoke, and even some minerals. It is important to select high-quality wood or wood pellets that have been properly seasoned and kiln dried to less than 20% moisture.

When wood is heated, gases and particles that have built up within the wood throughout its life are released. Older wood stoves and fireplaces release a lot of these directly up the chimney along with the heat, which results in a low efficiency and poor air quality inside. New stoves equipped with Cleanburn technology however, effectively burn these gases and particles. This technology reduces emissions, improves the efficiency of combustion and reduces flue gas temperatures.

Jotul has big goals regarding climate change, which is the reason we have designed all of our wood-burning appliances using cleanburn technology. We have created our own Cleanburn add-on that makes your stove burn cleaner and decreases soot buildup on the stove's glass and firebox walls, specifically when you use fuels with high moisture content.

A stove that has cleanburn technology is essential for anyone who uses wood as their primary source for heating. It is a great way to improve the air quality in your home. If you live in a city or town that is classified as a smoke-free zone, then switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will help you stay within the bounds of these regulations and could make a significant difference for people who suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Our multi fuel stoves equipped with cleanburn technology have secondary air, a pre-heated tertiary air system, and vermiculite or plain steel stove base to ensure optimal combustion. The tertiary air system that is pre-heated which is usually only found on the highest end stoves, assists in preventing 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 boost your stove's combustion performance even further It is a fantastic way to achieve the most efficient, clean, carbon neutral flame and reduce soot deposits on the inside of the firebox of your stove.
