Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are an excellent option for homeowners who would like to have a wood-burning stove, but do not have room for log storage. These stoves can be stocked with either manufactured or logs, or fuels like peat and coal briquettes. They are able to burn both kinds of fuels more efficient than traditional wood burners. This is largely due to the design of multi fuel stoves has been optimized to be able to burn a range of different fuels.

The grate of a stove that is raised designed to burn various fuels is usually designed to allow air circulation beneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes need lots of air beneath them to ignite and burn correctly. Most multi-fuel stoves have a secondary airflow that can be shut or opened according to the type of fuel. This can help keep the fire burning by supplying a larger amount of air into the stove. It can also increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary air flow systems of a stove can be used to alter the height of the flame and the temperature of the fire. This is important as different kinds of fuel burn at different rates and will produce a different amount of heat. Maintaining the flame's height and temperature in check will ensure your stove is operating as efficiently as possible and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

You should also remove the ash from your stove regularly and place it in a bucket or pan. This will prevent the accumulation of ash too high on the stove's grates, and also hinder your fuel from burning properly. It is also necessary to clean your stove glass regularly to avoid any discolouration. You can keep your stove looking new by using a soft damp scourer along with a stove cleaner. To avoid any harm or issues it is crucial to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven.

Low Emissions

The best multi fuel stoves are made to be low emission which means that they burn wood, smokeless coal, or a combination of both with low emissions. This is particularly important in areas with strict smoke control like London where you would require a Defra approved stove and only burn approved fuels in the Ready To Burn scheme to conform to local regulations and help keep the air fresh.

A Defra-approved stove will typically come with an automatic fuel supply and an air supply control to ensure that the fire is burning efficiently. This results in minimal smoke and a high level of heat output which can be a good idea in a smaller room where the stove could be the focal point.

If you live in a smoke-control area it is essential to use a Defra-approved stove to ensure you comply with regulations. This will allow you to avoid paying hefty fines if you burn in a way that is illegal. There are many approved stoves by Defra available, but we suggest that you select a woodburning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will give you a clearer view of the flame, and be more efficient.

The AGA Ellesmere EC4 is a great example of an Ecodesign and DEFRA approved stove that provides both design and efficiency. Its compact size is perfect for smaller spaces and comes with easy-to-use primary and secondary air controls. Its elegant design would work well in both modern and traditional settings.

Another option is the Stovax Blithfield which is a widescreen stove that has large square windows that gives excellent flame views. It comes in a variety of colours to suit your style. The stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be ordered with a clear arch or a Tracery version that features dramatic Gothic arches to the door.

Pellet stoves can be a great alternative to traditional multi-fuel stoves. They make use of biomass or compressed wood to produce a high-quality fire that is very efficient. The pellets, which are made of sawdust or other wood products that have been removed, are an ecologically sustainable alternative. The stoves have an oven and hotplate, as well as an oven, which means they can also be used for cooking. The standard 6" (150mm), but still compatible with a 5 1/2" (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is an advantage where it can 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 which the stove distributes to the room. This is accomplished either through radiation, in which the hot surface of a multifuel stove radiates heat back into the room and/or convection, when it draws in cold air from outside, warms it up, and then directs it towards the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output by using secondary and tertiary supplies to minimise emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible.

Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel Stove is a good example. It is endorsed by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. Its large square window provides a great view of the flame and its larger dimensions allow it to be able to fit into larger chimney openings. The airwash system keeps the glass interior free of soot. The stove is available in six different finishes, and you can also put a top plate on it to cook on.

Multifuel stoves are also a great way to burn wood. However, you must follow the instructions provided on your appliance to ensure best results. You should also be sure to have it checked regularly by an expert. It is also important to select the appropriate fuel, as every type will burn at different rates and produce the same amount of energy. You'll need to decide if you would like the fire producing a lot heat quickly, or if you prefer a long and slow burn that generates warm air.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, it's important to know that only DEFRA approved stoves are permitted to burn authorised wood and smokeless coal. You could be fined lots of dollars if you burn other fuel. The stove may be damaged.

The Defra approved multifuel stoves that we have in stock all have 5" (125mm) flue outlets that can be fitted to an existing chimney stack or flue system. This is a less expensive solution than installing a stainless steel dual wall liner.
