Clean Burning Technology
Multi fuel stoves are a great choice for homeowners who would prefer a wood-burning stove but do not have the space for storage of logs. These stoves can be filled with wood or manufactured fuels such as coal and peat. They typically burn both kinds of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a variety of fuels.
Stoves built to burn a variety of different fuels generally feature an elevated grate designed to allow air to circulate beneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels such as peat and turf briquettes require lots of air beneath for them to ignite and burn properly. Most multi fuel stoves also feature an additional air flow that can be shut or

The stoves come with a hotplate and oven, so they can be used for cooking as well. The standard 6" (150mm) however, still compatible with 5 1/2" (125mm) liner is a standard feature. This is a great alternative 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 fireplace generates heat, which is then dispersed to the room. It does this either through radiation, which is where the hot surface of the stove radiates heat back into the room or by convection, where it draws cold air from outside, heats it up and then directs it back into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output, using secondary and tertiary air supplies to minimise emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as possible.
