Clean Burning Technology
A multi fuel stove is a fantastic option for homeowners who want 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, such as peat and coal. These stoves are usually able to combust both of these fuel types more effectively than traditional log burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves have been designed to burn a range of fuels.
Stoves designed to burn a variety of different fuels generally feature a raised grate that is designed to allow air to circulate under the fuel. This is because certain fuels, such as peat briquettes and turf briquettes, require a huge amount of air to ignite and burn. The majority of multi fuel stoves come with an additional air flow that can be opened or closed depending on the type of fuel you are using. This helps keep the fire going, by supplying an additional supply of air to the stove. It can also improve the combustion efficiency.
The primary and secondary air flow systems inside a stove are used to alter the flame's height and temperature of the fire. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates, and produce different quantities of heat. By keeping the flame's height and temperature under control you can ensure that your stove runs as efficiently as possible while generating the most heat.
Finally, you'll be required to remove ash frequently from your stove and place it in an ash bucket or ash pan. This will stop the accumulation of ash over the stove's grates and will hinder your fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, must keep the stove glass clean. You can keep your stove looking brand new by using a soft damp scourer and a specific product for cleaning your stove. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions when cleaning and maintaining your stove to avoid damage or causing any issues.

349338.Xyz cooking too. The standard 6" (150mm) stove, however still compatible with 5 1/2" (125mm) liner is a standard feature. This is a great choice when it's difficult to install a 6" (150mm) or if your chimney has a few odd bends.
Energy Efficiency
The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat, which is then transferred to the room. It does this by radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove reflects heat into the room, or through convection, in which it draws cold air from outside, heats it up, and then redirects it back into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve the highest efficiency, and use secondary and third air supply to reduce emissions and to burn fuel efficiently.
Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel Stove is a good example. It is approved by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. Its large square windows provide great views of the flame, and its wider size allows it to be fitted into chimneys with larger openings.

Multifuel stoves can be an efficient method to use wood, though you should follow your appliance's guidelines for the best results and ensure that it is regularly checked by an expert. Selecting the right fuel is also crucial, as different types of fuel will burn at varying rates and generate different amounts of energy. You must decide whether you want the fire to produce a lot of heat quickly, or if you are more interested in a slow, long burning and creating a warm atmosphere in the room.
