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 have an open firebox in which the fuel is positioned and ignited. They also have a door that allows access, a window and air vents to control the flow of air and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves feature an adjustable flame height control. This is great when cooking and heating with the same stove as it allows you to adjust the temperature of your fire to suit your requirements and cook/heat food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves come with an air vent that is built into the back of the stove. This helps to keep the fire going after you've finished cooking. It also can be used for expulsion of any harmful gases.

Multi-fuel stoves are a great alternative to wood-burning stoves that can only burn logs. They permit you to burn any solid fuel like peat, coal, etc. in addition to seasoned logs. Coal is gradually being disregarded since it isn't suitable for smoke control zones and can produce more toxic fumes than seasoned wood.

To start a fire in a multi fuel stove, simply open the door and place some fire lighters or paper amongst dry kindling and twigs on the grate. Then, light the firelighters or paper and wait for the kindling to catch fire. Once the kindling has caught alight you can then add the kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, which will allow you to build a fire bed that will help your logs burn more efficiently.

A high-quality Multi-fuel stove will come with frames for the grate and an the ash pan, so you can get rid of the ash from your stove without opening the door. Certain newer stoves have an inbuilt grate carrier that allows more air to pass through the grate when the logs are burning.

If you are planning to go camping or backpacking with your multi-burner stove, it's a good idea that you buy one with advanced pot support system, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil MiniMo. They are better equipped to endure windy conditions. Non-integrated containers leave more of the fire exposed. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the newer MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that can be secured to the side of the stove to enhance performance in stormy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove can regulate airflow, allowing the fire to burn at its optimal rate. This allows the stove to generate heat efficiently that avoids waste gases and smoke escaping into the room. It also permits the stove to be used with different types of fuels, like coal. This is crucial since certain types of solid fuel are unable to be used in smoke control areas and others are dirtier and more expensive than wood.

Multi fuel stoves feature raised riddling grates that allows combustion air to flow underneath the fuel. This makes it easier to take ash from the ashpan. A lot of our multi fuel stoves also feature a variety of new technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash that help ensure that the stove is burning at the highest level for the particular fuel.

The air primary and secondary controls are used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. You can choose to operate them by hand or automatically. The variable airflow feature lets you to control the amount of primary and second air is delivered to your stove. This will ensure that it burns at the highest efficiency for each type of fuel.

To optimize the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's recommended to select kiln dried wood that are low in moisture content. It is also an ideal idea to add small amounts of wood to the fire and keep the stove well maintained. Shut off the air supply, but not completely. This could create an air vortex that will draw unburned volatiles back into the fire. Instead, you should leave the stove door open to a point that's comfortable for you and only add wood that is visible through the glass pane. Place the log horizontally on the top of the glowing embers, so that it does not get in the way of the stove's side or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

If you'd like to be able to choose between burning a variety fuels then a multi burner stove may be the right option for you. A multifuel stove can be used for burning wood logs or turf briquettes, peat or turf along with anthracite and other fuels that are smokeless. You can now enjoy a wide range of heat sources and save time and money by not having to purchase and transport a variety of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves come with primary, secondary and often tertiary air vents to aid in controlling the flame pattern and increase efficiency. The utilization of these air vents means that you can adapt the stove to a particular kind of fuel and get an optimal fire with great heat output. This is especially useful since the prices of different fuels can vary greatly.

A multifuel stove can be used to warm the domestic hot water system, so you can use it to supply your home with hot water. Certain models can also be used as a boiler to heat a tank of hot water for household use. This way, you can make your home warm and cozy without the need to turn on your central heating system.

The main difference between a multi-fuel stove as well as a log burner is its ability to only burn wood logs. If you intend to make use of a wood stove to burn other solid fuels, then it is likely that you will need a special grate as they don't burn the same way as logs.

Multifuel stoves are equipped with 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, needs lots of combustion air to remain burning. This is why multifuel stoves are usually equipped with a riddler that can be removed and emptied when the fire is burning to avoid the build-up of ash that would block the air flow.

Cleanburn

Multi-fuel stoves are fantastic because they can burn wood, coal without smoke, and even some minerals. It is important to use high-quality wood or wood pellets that are properly seasoned and kiln-dried to below 20 percent moisture.

When wood is heated, gases and particles that have built up within the wood throughout its lifespan are released. Older wood burning stove small stoves and fireplaces release a lot of these up the chimney, along with the heat, resulting in lower efficiency and poor air quality in indoor areas. Modern stoves that incorporate Cleanburn technology however efficiently burn these gases and particles. This reduces emissions and leads to more efficient combustion and significantly lower temperatures of flue gas.

Jotul has high ambitions regarding climate change, which is the reason we design all of our wood-burning appliances using cleanburn technology. We have also developed our own Cleanburn additive that makes your stove burn cleaner and reduces the amount of soot build-up on your firebox walls and stove glass, particularly when you are using a higher 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 primary source of heating. It is an effective way to improve the air quality in your home. If you live in an area that is designated as a smoke-free zone, switching to a cleaner-burning stove can help you comply with the strict guidelines of this regulation and can help those suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Our multi-fuel stoves with cleanburn feature secondary air and a tertiary system that is preheated and a plain steel stove base or vermiculite to ensure optimal combustion. The pre-heated-tertiary air system, typically only found on the most expensive stoves, helps prevent ash and smoke from sticking to the glass of the bio ethanol stove and permits more gases to be burnt.

Cleanburn from Jotul is also a fantastic additive to use in conjunction with the preheated tertiary air system to improve the efficiency of combustion in your stove. Cleanburn will result in a cleaner and more efficient flame that is carbon neutral and will help reduce the amount of soot that build up on the inner wall of the firebox.
