Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are a great option for homeowners who would prefer a wood-burning stove but don't have the space to store logs. They can be filled with either manufactured or logs, or fuel like coal and peat Briquettes. They are able to burn both kinds of fuels more effectively than traditional wood burners. This is largely because the design of a multi fuel stove is optimized to be able to burn a range of different fuels.

Stoves designed to burn a variety of different fuels typically have a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate under the fuel. This is due to certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes need a lot of air underneath for them to ignite and burn properly. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow that can be shut or opened depending on the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire burning by providing an additional supply air into the stove. It can also improve the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in the fireplace can be used to alter the height of the flame and also the temperature. This is important as different kinds of fuel burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat. Keeping the flame high and temperature within a certain range will ensure that your stove is operating at its maximum efficiency and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

It is also necessary to remove the ash regularly from your stove and then store it in a bucket or pan. This will stop too much of the ash from getting on the grate bars and preventing your fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, you should keep the stove glass clean. Using a soft scourer that is damp and a specific cleaning product specially designed for stoves can aid in keeping your stove looking brand new. To avoid any damage or problems it is essential to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven.

Low Emission Vehicles

The best multi fuel stoves are made to be low emission which means they burn wood, smokeless coal or a combination of both with low emissions. This is especially important in areas with smoke control such as London, where you will need to use an approved stove by Defra. Only burn authorised materials as part of the Ready To Burn Scheme to conform to local regulations.

A Defra-approved stove will typically come with an automatic fuel supply and an air supply control, to ensure the fire burns efficiently. This results in less smoke and a high amount of heat output which can be a good idea in smaller spaces where the stove is the main focal feature.

If you live in a zone of smoke control, it is essential to use a Defra approved stove to ensure you adhere to the rules and avoid paying huge fines for illegal burning. There are a variety of approved stoves from Defra available, however we recommend you look for a woodburning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will allow you to have a an easier view of the flame and will be more efficient.

The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is a great example of a DEFRA-approved Ecodesign stove that offers both aesthetics and efficiency. With a compact size it is perfect for smaller spaces and comes with easy-to-use primary and secondary air controls. Its stylish looks would suit both traditional and contemporary settings.

An alternative to a traditional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove, which makes use of biomass pellets or compressed wood to create a highly efficient fire with a high level of heat output. The pellets are made of waste materials such as sawdust and other rejected wood products so this makes it a green option. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, so they can be used for cooking too. They typically have a larger flue outlet than the standard 6" (150mm) however they will still be compatible with 5" (125mm) liner for safety reasons. This is a benefit when it might be difficult to install a standard 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack has awkward bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove produces heat that the stove distributes to the room. This is accomplished either through radiation, where the hot surface of a multifuel stove radiates heat back into the room or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, heats it up, and then directs it to the room. Most modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output, making use of secondary and tertiary air supplies to minimise emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as possible.

An excellent example is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is Defra and Ecodesign approved. Its large square windows provide an excellent view of the flame. Its larger size lets it fit into larger chimney openings. The airwash system keeps the glass interior free of soot. The stove comes in six different finishes, and you can also add a top plate to cook on.

Multifuel stoves are also a great option to burn wood. However, it is important to adhere to the directions on your appliance to get the best results. You should also check it on a regular basis with an expert. Selecting the right fuel is also important since different kinds of fuel will burn at varying rates and produce different amounts of energy. You'll need to decide if you would like the fire producing a lot heat quickly or prefer a long and slow burn that generates warm air.

If you live in an area where smoke is restricted, it's important to be aware that only DEFRA-approved stoves can be used to burn smokeless coal and wood. You could be fined lots of dollars if you burn other fuel. Your stove may be damaged.
