Multi Fuel Stoves

Multi-fuel stoves differ from wood burners as they can burn green solid fuels like peat and coal. (Look for fuels that have been approved for use in Smoke Control Areas). The stoves have a riddling or static grate that allows circulation of air under the fire for a more efficient combustion.

The ashes are disposed of in an ash tray that must be emptied regularly. Most multi-fuel stoves have additional air vents that feed the flames and provide secondary or secondary combustion.

Simple to operate

Multi fuel stoves can be used to burn other materials other than wood. This allows you to be more flexible when it comes to the kind of fuel you can use to light your campfire. This can also save you money over the long run by switching from expensive logs to a cheaper smokeless fuel.

The majority of multi fuel stoves come with a grate with a raised riddling that is designed to allow the combustion of peat, wood or turf briquettes as as coal. This is an excellent option if you are planning to use your woodburner stove while camping in a Smoke Control Area since it allows you the option of using smokeless fuel (as as long as it's DEFRA approved).

A lot of multifuel stoves include air wash systems to prevent soot buildup on the glass's insides. Soot accumulation is not just ugly, but can also reduce your ability to see the flame which can affect the heat output from the stove. This feature is available in the majority of our stoves and we recommend it for all users.

A multifuel stove can also be utilized with solid or liquid fuels which makes it more adaptable. This means you have more options for food when you aren't able to access wood or can't carry additional fuel in your backpack. This could make a huge difference in the way you're enjoying your hike.

Multifuel stoves are generally user-friendly. They all have a single user-friendly air control specifically designed to provide the correct amount of primary and secondary air depending on the place where the stove is in the cycle of burning and the type of fuel being utilized. This makes it simple to install the stove quickly and effortlessly on the field. Some models come with an electric spark ignition which is useful for lighting the stove. This does add a little bit of weight to the stove but it is a great option for many users.

Easy to Clean

Multi fuel stoves are easy to keep clean and beautiful, especially when you regularly sweep all ash or dust. You can also make use of a soft cloth wipe down the stove's surface as long as it is not damp or wet. Keeping your stove clean can help avoid any potential damage that could result due to a build-up of toxic residue.

The air wash feature is found in most modern multi-fuel stoves. This lets a stream of cooler air down the glass of your stove which helps to stop the byproducts of the fire from settling on the glass and obscureing your view of the flame. This is a fantastic feature for multi-fuel stoves however, you'll need to clean the glass regularly.

Usually, when cleaning your multi fuel stove, you'll have to empty the ash pan built-in beneath the grate, which is fairly easy to do. You will also need to clean the secondary and primary vents regularly. The two vents inside your chimney are used to eliminate gasses that have been emitted. This is essential if you burn coal regularly because it could produce more harmful byproducts.

If you regularly use coal in your multifuel stove, it is recommended that you clean your chimney more frequently than if you only burn wood. This is because coal emits more carbon dioxide than logs. A chimney that is swept more frequently will help to stop the accumulation of dangerous creosote deposits within your chimney, which can result in a chimney fire or cause the flue to start leaking.

You should also use premium fuel for your multifuel cooker. Use hardwoods instead of softwoods. Hardwoods are more durable and resistant to soot buildup on the inside of multifuel stoves. The use of a high-quality fuel will help to ensure that your stove's glass will not easily turn black. It will also last longer without the need for regular cleaning with a stove cleaner spray.

Longevity

Multifuel stoves offer a range of fuel options. They allow logs, coal, contemporary wood burning stoves pellets, and smokeless fuels to be burned in an environment that is controlled to generate heat. These stoves are less expensive than traditional wood-burning stoves due to the fact that you can purchase the fuel from local suppliers. You can also modify it to suit your budget and needs.

A multifuel stove can also burn liquid biofuels like white gas (Coleman Fuel) isobutane/propane and kerosene jet-A fuel and aviation fuel. The user can use the stove wherever in the world. This is great for cycling, backpacking and travelling to remote areas.

These stoves can be used to reach high temperatures which help burn the fuel more efficiently. The higher temperatures allow for secondary combustion to take place which further increases the heat output of the stove. Multifuel stoves typically come with air controls which can be adjusted based on the type of fuel is being used to ensure the correct mix of secondary and primary air is supplied which aids in the overall efficiency of the stove.

The aluminum shell of the multifuel stove allows it to retain heat for a longer time after the fire has gone out. This is a major advantage over wood burning stoves, which tend to lose heat faster after the flames have gone out.

A multifuel stove is more user-friendly than wood burning stoves. These stoves have simple to comprehend control knobs that can be operated by one person, making them more convenient to use for a whole family or group of users to use. However, these stoves still need to be monitored while they are in flames as in the event of a failure to monitor them, it could result in carbon monoxide poisoning. It is important to only burn kiln dried wood below 20% moisture content on a multifuel stove. Do not burn household coal, waste or any other petroleum-based fuels with high percentages on a multifuel appliance. These could damage the appliance as well as create dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide.

Eco-Friendly

A multifuel stove is an excellent 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 can double as a boiler stove heating hot water tanks. These are ideal for those living in areas where it is hard to get local firewood or if you want to cut your heating costs by switching to electric heating.

It is important to select wood that has been seasoned, or dried in a kiln. This will decrease the amount of smoke and toxins produced. It is also essential to have a multifuel stove that is compliant with Ecodesign 2022 standards. This means that it will generate more heat with less fuel, and it must be able to achieve an efficiency during the season of at minimum 65%.

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

Multifuel stoves can be used in times of need to provide heat if the power goes out. If you decide to use your stove for emergency heat, it is crucial to burn one or two logs at each time, and never more than a log per hour. This will prevent a huge build up of ash and stop it from blocking the air supply to the main source.

Some stoves can be converted to burn canister-type fuels, like diesel and kerosene. This is great for those who plan to go camping or hiking. Backpackers love these stoves because they don't have to consume Ramen for dinner! However, we don't recommend this for all stoves and advise you to consult a specialist before converting yours.
