Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are an excellent option for homeowners who'd like to have a wood-burning stove but do not have the space to store logs. These stoves can be loaded with either wood or manufactured fuels like peat and coal briquettes. These stoves are usually capable of combusting both of these types of fuel more efficiently than traditional log burners. This is largely because the design of 5kw multi fuel stove fuel stoves has been optimized to be able to burn a wide range of different fuels.

Stoves that are designed to burn a variety of different fuels generally feature a raised grate that is designed to allow air to circulate underneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels like peat and turf briquettes need plenty of air under for them to ignite and burn correctly. The majority of multi-fuel stoves feature an additional airflow that can be opened or shut according to the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire going by supplying a larger amount of air to the stove, and will also improve combustion efficiency.

The primary and secondary air flow systems in a stove can be utilized to adjust the flame's height and temperature of the fire. This is important as different kinds of fuel burn at different rates and will produce different amounts of heat. By keeping the flame height and temperature under control you can ensure that your stove is operating as efficiently as possible while producing the maximum amount heat.

It is also necessary to remove the ash from your stove regularly and then store it in a bucket or ash pan. This will stop the accumulation of ash over the stove's grates and will prevent your fuel from burning properly. To prevent discoloration, you will need to clean the glass of your stove regularly.

The stoves come with a hotplate and oven, which means they can also be used to cook. They typically have a larger flue outlet than the standard 6" (150mm) but they can still be used with 5" (125mm) liner for safety reasons. This is a great choice in cases where it's difficult to install a 6" (150mm), or if the chimney has some odd bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat, which is later distributed to the room. It does this via radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove radiates heat 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 for the highest efficiency, and use secondary and third air supply in order to reduce emissions and to burn fuel efficiently.
