Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are a fantastic option for homeowners who would like to use a wood-burning stove, but do not have the space to store logs. These stoves are able to be filled with wood or manufactured fuels like peat and coal. These stoves are usually able to combust both of these types of fuel more effectively than traditional log burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were made to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves designed to burn a variety of fuels generally feature an elevated grate designed to let air circulate underneath the fuel. This is because some fuels, like peat briquettes or turf Briquettes, require a significant amount of air to ignite and burn. Many multi fuel stoves feature an additional air flow that can be shut or 349338 opened depending on the type of fuel you're using. This helps keep the fire going, by providing an additional supply air into the stove. It also increases the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in the fireplace can be used to regulate the flame's height and temperature. This is crucial as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and produce a different amount of heat. By keeping the flame's the right temperature and height it will ensure that your stove runs as efficiently as possible while producing the maximum amount heat.

In the end, you'll have to remove ash regularly from your stove and store it in an ash bucket or ash pan.

This is a benefit when it can be difficult to install an ordinary 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack is characterized by awkward bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace creates heat, which is later transferred to the room. This is done either by radiation, in which the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflect heat back into the room, or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, heats it up, and then directs it into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed for maximum efficiency, using secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and efficiently burn fuel.
