The output of heat from a stove is determined by the size of its firebox and the amount of wood stove burning that can be burned inside it at the same time. It is also influenced by how dry the wood is because moisture will decrease its efficiency. Therefore, it is important to use only dried and well-seasoned wood.

When deciding on the best wood burning stove for your home, it is essential to think about how well-insulated and airtight your room is. If you select an appliance with a heat output that is too high for your space, it could cause the room to overheat and cause damage to its internal components. If you choose one that generates less heat than is needed, your room won't feel warm enough and may require additional heating sources such as electric heaters and radiators.

With a multi-fuel stove you can also choose to add extra fuels to your fire to give it more heat. This is an ideal option if you don't have the time or the space to store your own firewood.

When using a wood burner, it is important to keep the grate clean and remove the ash pan on a regular basis. This will ensure that your stove is running at its peak efficiency.

You can also buy a multi-fuel stove that is designed to work with gas sources. These types of stoves are often referred to as balanced flue stoves and are suitable for new construction properties that have been'sealed up' and do not have traditional chimneys made of masonry. These stoves are powered by twin flue pipes. One of them is used to expel the burned gasses from the stove, while the other draws fresh air and balances the outward flow of hot gases.

Installation

Consider a model that has a heat output of up to 5kw if you want a stove for a small area. This stove is more affordable than the larger ones, but can still provide enough heat to most rooms. It's important that you buy the correct size for your room. Over-sized stoves can either be too hot or they may not be able to achieve their maximum potential for heat.

The cost of the installation will depend on the material and size of the hearth and how much work is needed to create an chimney. It is important to choose an HETAS-registered engineer to carry out the work, as this will save you money in the long term.

Safety

It is important to follow certain safety guidelines when installing a multi-fuel stove or log burner at home. These safety measures are vital to ensure that your log burner operates smoothly and doesn't become a potential fire hazard. For instance, it is recommended to put a fireguard around your stove, especially if you have children. It is also important that you never operate a stove when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These substances can impair your concentration and coordination and could result in an accident.

When lighting a fire in your multi fuel stove, it is essential to open the air vents to their full extent to allow the most oxygen possible into the flames. This will increase the heat output and allow the fire to catch faster. The air vents should be shut once the fire is lit to reduce the flow of oxygen and to prevent the flames burning through materials that are combustible in the fireplace.

Based on the type of fuel you are using, it could be necessary to alter the air vents throughout the duration of the fire. Wood requires constant supply of air in order to burn efficiently, whereas coal requires less. It is also necessary to control the temperature of the stove, because an operating temperature that is too high could cause damage to the stove by generating creosote. This is why it is crucial to read the instructions in your stove's manual and ensure that it is operating within the optimal temperature for operation.

You can also install an air shield to reduce the clearance needed from burning combustibles in the vicinity of your stove. They can be found at a variety of hardware stores, and are typically made of strong galvanised metal for maximum safety. They can be put in behind your stove and reduce the distance between combustible material and the stove to 150mm on the sides and the rear, and 225mm at the front. This will ensure that your stove is safe and complies with the requirements of building regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
