Here's A Little-Known Fact Regarding Multi Burner Stove

What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one type of fuel. They provide a controlled atmosphere to allow different types of wood and smokeless fuels to burn to create heat.

The stoves have an enclosed firebox where the fuel is placed and then lit. They also have a door for access, a window, and air vents that regulate the flow of air and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves have an adjustable flame height control. This is a fantastic feature if you're cooking and heating your stove at the same time. You can alter the heat according to suit your needs and cook or heat your food more efficiently. The majority of multi fuel stoves include an air vent in the rear of the stove which will keep the fire burning even once you've finished using the stove and can be used to expel all noxious fumes that are released from the stove.

In contrast to Wood Burning Stoves which can only be used with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves permit the use of any solid fuel that is combustible, such as coal, peat etc in addition to well-seasoned wood logs. Coal is being gradually disregarded since it isn't suitable for smoke control areas and may produce more toxic fumes than wood that has been seasoned.

Open the door of the multi-fuel stove. Put some fire lighters or paper between the dry kindling on the grates. Then light the paper or firelighters and wait for the kindling to catch fire. When the fire is lit and you are ready to add your kiln dried logs on the top of it to create a bed. This will help your logs to burn more efficiently.

A good Multi fuel stove will come with a grate carrier frame and ash pan so you can riddle the ash from your stove without opening the door. Certain newer stoves have built-in grate carriers frames that is designed to improve 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're planning to camp or backpack with your multi-burner stove, it's a good idea that you purchase one with advanced pot support system, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil MiniMo. They are better equipped to withstand windy situations. Non-integrated canister stoves tend to leave more of the flame visible, whereas the MSR PocketRocket and the newer MSR WindMaster feature a unique clamp-on pot support that fits the sides of your stove, helping to improve performance in gusty conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves are able to regulate the flow of air to ensure that the fire burns at its optimal rate. This enables the stove to generate heat at an efficient rate without releasing waste gases or smoke escaping into the room. The stove can also be used with other fuels, such as coal. This is important because some solid fuels cannot be used in smoke control areas, and some are more soiled or expensive than wood.

Contrary to wood burning stoves which are typically set up with a static grate or a riddling grate, multi fuel stoves come with an integrated raised riddling grate to allow combustion air to flow underneath the fuel, making it easy to take away the ash from the ash pan. Multi fuel stoves are equipped with a variety of innovative technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies ensure that the stove runs at its optimal level for the fuel type it is.

Modern multi fuel stoves can be adjusted using the secondary and primary air controls. You can operate them manually or automatically. The adjustable airflow feature enables the user to control how much primary and secondary air is pumped into the stove in order to ensure that the fire is burning at its highest efficiency for each type of fuel.

To maximize the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's advisable to use kiln dried logs that have a low moisture content. Keep the stove in good working order and add small wood burning stove amounts to the fire regularly. Close the air supply but not completely. This can cause an air vortex that will draw unburned volatiles back into the fire. Instead, you should leave the door to the stove open to a degree that's comfortable for you, and only add wood when it's visible through the glass pane. When you add a log put it on the glowing embers, so that it doesn't touch either the side of the stove or the bottom of the grate bars.

Adjustable Temperature

If you'd like to be able to choose between burning a variety of fuels, then a multi burner stove might be the ideal choice for you. In addition to wood, a multifuel stove can also burn turf briquettes or peat anthracite coal as well as a number of smokeless fuel types. You can now enjoy an array of heat sources and save time and money by not having to purchase and transport various types of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves feature primary, secondary and even tertiary vents that help regulate the flame's pattern. This improves efficiency. These vents allow you to adjust the stove to a specific type of fuel and ensure the highest heat output. This is particularly useful since the price of various fuels can vary widely.

A multifuel stove can also be used to heat a domestic hot water system, so you can use it to supply your home with hot water. Some models double as boilers, heating tanks of water for household use. This means you can keep your home warm and cozy without having to turn on your central heating system.

The primary distinction between the multi-fuel stove and the log burner is its ability to only burn wood logs. If you plan to make use of a wood stove to burn other solid fuels, then it is likely that you will require a special grate since they aren't burning like 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 since coal, for instance requires a lot of combustion air to remain alight. As a result, multifuel stoves tend to be fitted with a riddler which can be removed and emptied while the fire is still burning to avoid a build-up of ash that would block the flow of air.

Cleanburn

Using a multi fuel stove is fantastic since it allows you to use smokeless coal, wood and even some mineral fuels. However, it is important to use high-quality wood or wood pellet that has been properly seasoned and kiln dried to a lower moisture content.

When wood is heated up in the oven, gases and particles that have accumulated in the wood over time are released. Older fireplaces and stoves release a significant amount of these straight up the chimney, along with the heat, resulting in lower efficiency and poor air quality indoors. Modern stoves that utilize Cleanburn technology efficiently 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 with cleanburn technology. We have created our own Cleanburn add-on that makes your stove burn cleaner and reduces soot buildup on your stove glass and firebox walls, specifically when using fuels with a high moisture content.

A stove that has cleanburn technology is a must for anyone who uses wood as their main source of heating. It is a great option to improve the air quality within your home. If you reside in an area that is designated a smokeless zone then switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will allow you to adhere to the strict guidelines of this law and could be a huge benefit for those suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Multi fuel stoves that feature cleanburn technology have secondary air as well as a pre-heated tertiary air system and a plain steel or vermiculite stove base for optimal combustion. The pre-heated tertiary-air system, that is typically only found on the top stoves, prevents ash and soot sticking to the glass of the stove and allows more of the gases produced during combustion to be burned.

Cleanburn from Jotul is an excellent addition to use in conjunction with the preheated tertiary air system to enhance the efficiency of your stove. Cleanburn will result in an efficient and cleaner flame that is carbon-neutral, and will reduce the soot deposits that build up on the interior wall of the firebox.
