Multi Fuel Stoves

Multi fuel stoves differ from wood burning as they can burn smokeless fuel as well as eco-friendly solid fuels such as peat and coal (look for fuels that have been approved for use in Smoke Control Areas). They feature a static or riddling grate that allows air to circulate beneath the fire to ensure efficient combustion.

The ashes are stored in an ash pan which has to be regularly emptied. Most multi-fuel stoves include additional air vents that feed the flames or provide third or secondary combustion.

These stoves are capable of reaching high temperatures which helps to reduce the amount of fuel burned. The more hot fire allows secondary combustion to occur which in turn increases the heat output of the stove. Multifuel stoves typically come with air controls that can be adjusted based on what type of fuel is being used to ensure the correct mixture of primary and secondary air is delivered, which enhances the overall efficiency of the stove.

The metal shell of the multifuel stove can help keep heat for a longer time after the fire is out. This is a major advantage over a wood-burning stove that tends to lose heat faster once the flames have gone out.
