Why You Should Be Working With This Multi Burner Stove

What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi-burner stove is designed to burn a variety of types of fuel. They create a controlled space for different kinds of smokeless fuels or wood.

The stoves have an enclosed firebox where the fuel is placed and ignited. They also come with a door to access, a window, and air vents that regulate the air supply and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi-fuel stoves feature an adjustable flame control. This is a fantastic feature if you're cooking and heating your stove at the same time. You can adjust the heat to your preferences, and cook/heat your food more efficiently. Most multi-fuel stoves have an air vent that is built into the back of the stove. This allows you to keep the fire burning after you've finished cooking. It also can be used to expel any noxious gasses.

Unlike Wood Burning Stoves that are only compatible with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves permit the use of any solid fuel that can be combustible like peat, coal, etc. in addition to wood logs that have been seasoned. Coal is gradually being discarded as it is not suitable for areas with smoke control and produces more toxic gases than seasoned wood.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove and place some fire lighters or paper between the dry kindling on the grates. Light the paper or firelighters and wait until the fire catches alight. When the kindling is alight you can then add the dried logs that you kiln-dried to the top of the kindling, which will allow you to create a fire bed which will allow your logs to burn more efficiently.

A good quality Multi fuel stove will have a grate carrier frame and the ash pan to get rid of the ash from your stove without opening the door. Some newer stoves come with an inbuilt grate holder that lets more air flow through the grate when the logs are burning.

If you're planning to backpack or camp with your multi-burner stove, it is recommended to purchase one that features an advanced pot support design, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo which are able to better stand up to the elements of wind. Non-integrated containers leave more of the fire unprotected. 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 improve performance during the windy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove can regulate airflow, allowing the fire to burn at its maximum rate. This enables the stove to produce heat at a high efficiency, avoiding waste gases and smoke escaping into the room. It also permits the stove to work with different types of fuels, like coal. This is especially important as certain types of solid fuel are unable to be used in smoke control areas, and others are dirtier and more expensive than wood.

In contrast to wood burning stoves that are typically constructed with a static grate or riddling grate system, multi fuel stoves have an integrated raised riddling grate to allow combustion air to flow beneath the fuel, making it easy to remove the ash from the ash pan. Multi fuel stoves are equipped with a variety of modern technologies, including Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies ensure that the stove runs at its optimal level for each fuel type.

The air primary and secondary controls are used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. They can be operated manually or automatically, based on your preference. The adjustable airflow feature allows the user to regulate the amount of 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 optimize the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's recommended to use kiln dried logs that have a low moisture content. Keep the stove in good working order and add small amounts of fuel to the fire frequently. Close the air supply but not completely. This could create a vortex, which will draw any unburned volatiles into the fire. Make sure to keep the stove door slightly open, but not completely, so you can add wood only when it's visible through the glass. Once a log is added, place it horizontally on the glowing embers so that it doesn't touch the sides of the stove or the bottom of the grate bars.

Adjustable Temperature

If you want to have the option of burning a variety fuels, then a multi-burner stove may be the right option for you. In addition to wood, multifuel stoves also burn turf briquettes or peat as well as anthracite coal, and many different types of smokeless fuels. You can now have the wide variety of heat sources and save time and money by not having to buy and transport a variety of fuel.

Many wood burning stoves feature primary, secondary and sometimes secondary air vents that aid in controlling the flame pattern and improve efficiency. These vents allow you to adjust the stove to a specific fuel type and get the maximum heat output. This is particularly useful because the prices of different fuels can vary greatly.

A multifuel stove can be used to heat 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 the tank of hot water for household use. You can heat your home without turning on the central heating system.

The main difference between a multi-fuel stove and a log burner is its ability to only burn wood logs. If you are using a wood burner to burn other types of solid fuel then it will probably require the addition of a special grate as well as an ash pan as these types of fuels do not burn in the same way as logs do.

Multifuel stoves have a steel grate that is located at the bottom of the fire chamber. It allows air to flow from below to keep the flame burning. This is essential since coal, for instance, requires lots of combustion air to stay lit. Multifuel stoves come with riddlers that can be removed to empty the ash while the fire is still burning. This keeps ash from blocking the air flow.

Cleanburn

The multi fuel stove is beneficial since it allows you to burn smokeless coal, wood and even some mineral fuels. It is essential to select high-quality wood or wood pellets that have been properly seasoned, and kiln-dried down to less than 20 percent moisture.

When wood is heated up in the oven, gases and particles that have accumulated in the wood throughout its life are released. Older fireplaces or wood stoves release a lot of these gases and particles directly up the chimney with the heat. This leads to poor indoor air quality and low efficiency. Modern stoves that utilize Cleanburn technology efficiently use these particles and gases to burn. This technology reduces emissions, increases combustion efficiency, and reduces temperatures of the flue gas.

Jotul has big goals in the area of climate change, which is why we have designed all of our wood burning appliances with cleanburn technology. We have created our own Cleanburn add-on to help your bio ethanol stove (reviews over at www.irken.co.kr) burn cleaner and reduces soot buildup on the stove's glass and firebox walls, especially when you use fuels with high moisture content.

Cleanburn wood stoves are essential for anyone who relies on firewood as their primary source of heat. They are also an excellent method to improve your air quality in your home. If you live in an area that is designated as a smoke free zone, switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will help you adhere to the strict regulations of this regulation and can make a big difference for those suffering from asthma or other respiratory issues.

Our multi-fuel stoves with cleanburn include secondary air and a tertiary system that is preheated as well as a plain steel stove base or vermiculite for optimal combustion. The pre-heated-tertiary air system, which is typically only found on the most expensive stoves, helps to prevent smoke and ash from sticking to the glass of the stove, and also allows more gases to be burned.

Cleanburn from Jotul is also a great additive to use in combination with the preheated tertiary air system to improve the combustion performance of your stove. Cleanburn will result in an efficient and cleaner flame that is carbon neutral and will help reduce the amount of soot that accumulate on the inner wall of the firebox.
