Clean Burning Technology

A multi fuel stove is a fantastic option for homeowners who would like to utilize a wood-burning stove but don't have enough area to store logs. These stoves can be filled with logs or manufactured fuels like peat and coal. They are able to burn both types of fuel more efficient than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves designed to burn a variety of different fuels typically have a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate underneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes require a lot of air underneath for them to ignite and burn properly. The majority of multi fuel stoves come with an additional air flow that can be closed or opened depending on the type of fuel you're using. This will help keep the fire going, by providing an additional supply air to the stove. It also helps improve the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in the fireplace can be used to adjust flame height and temperature. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different quantities of heat. Maintaining the flame's high and temperature within a certain range will ensure your stove is operating as efficiently as it can and producing the maximum amount of heat from its fuel.

Lastly, you will need to regularly remove ash from your stove and store it in an ash bucket or ash pan. This will stop too much of the ash from getting on the stove grate bars and preventing your fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, you should clean the glass of your stove regularly. Utilizing a damp scourer and a special cleaning product specially designed for stoves can ensure that your stove is looking brand new.

A stove that is approved by Defra will typically have an automatic fuel feed and air supply control, to ensure that the fire burns efficiently. This results in minimal smoke and a very high level of heat output which can be a good idea in smaller rooms where the stove is the main focal area.

If you live in a smoke control area it is crucial to use an Defra approved stove to ensure that you adhere to the rules and avoid paying hefty penalties for burning illegally. There are many approved stoves by Defra available, but we suggest that you select a woodburning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant.

The pellets are made of waste materials such as sawdust and other rejected wood products, which makes it a very environmentally friendly option. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate as well as an oven so they can be used for cooking as well. They typically have a bigger flue outlet than the standard 6" (150mm) however they will still be compatible with 5" (125mm) liner to ensure safety. This is an advantage where it could be difficult to install an ordinary 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack has awkward bends in it.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove produces heat that the stove distributes to the room. It does this via radiation, where the hot surface of the stove radiates heat into the room or through convection, in which it draws cold air from outside, then heats it up, and then redirects it back to the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed for maximum efficiency, using secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and to burn fuel efficiently.
