They also have passed rigorous emissions tests and comply with the government's Clean Air Act requirements. DEFRA approved appliances are manufactured and designed in a way that they can efficiently burn wood, resulting in minimal smoke.

Clean Burning Technology

A multi stove fuel stove is an excellent alternative for homeowners who wish to utilize a wood-burning stove but don't have a large enough space to store logs. These stoves are able to be filled with wood or manufactured fuels like coal and peat. They are able to burn both types of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves have been made to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves designed to burn a variety fuels usually have an elevated grate designed to let air circulate beneath the fuel. This is because some fuels, like peat briquettes or turf briquettes, require a large amount of air to ignite and burn. The majority of multi-fuel stoves feature an additional airflow which can be opened or shut according to the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire burning by supplying a larger amount of air to the stove, and will increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary air flow systems in a stove are utilized to adjust the flame's height and temperature of the fire. This is important as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and produce a different amount of heat. By keeping the flame height and temperature under control it will ensure that your stove runs at its most efficient level while generating the most heat.

It is also necessary to remove the ash regularly from your stove and place it in a bucket or pan. This will stop too much of the ash from getting on the stove grate bars and preventing your fuel from burning properly. You should also clean your stove glass regularly to avoid any discolouration. You can keep your stove looking fresh by using a soft damp scourer with a special stove cleaner. To avoid any harm or issues, it is important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven.

Low Emissions

The most efficient multi-fuel stoves are built with low emissions, meaning they burn smokeless coal, or a combination thereof, with minimal emissions. This is particularly important in areas with smoke control like London, where you will require a Defra-approved stove and only burn authorised materials in the Ready To Burn Scheme to conform to local regulations.

A stove that is Defra-approved will usually have an automatic fuel feed as well as an air supply control, to ensure that the fire burns efficiently. This results in less smoke and a high amount of heat output which can be beneficial in a smaller room where the stove could be the main focus feature.

If you live in a zone of smoke control, it is crucial to make use of a Defra approved stove to ensure that you comply with regulations and avoid paying huge fines for illegal burning. There are many Defra approved stoves on the market, but we recommend that you look for a woodburning stove that is Eco Design 2022 compliant as this will give you more of a view of your flame and be more energy efficient too.

The AGA Ellsmere E4 is a fantastic example of an approved DEFRA Ecodesign stove that offers style and efficiency. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller rooms. It also features simple primary and secondary air controls. The stylish design will suit both traditional and modern settings.

Stovax Blithfield is a different option. It is a widescreen with a square-shaped window which gives a great view of the flames. It is available in a range of colors to fit your style. This stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be supplied with either a clear arch or a Tracery version that has striking Gothic arches to the door.

Pellet stoves are an excellent alternative to conventional multi-fuel stoves. They make use of biomass or compressed wood to create a high-quality fire that is very efficient. The pellets, comprised of sawdust or other wood products that have been rejected, are an environmentally friendly option. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, which means they can be used for cooking too. The standard 6" (150mm) however, still compatible with a 5 1/2" (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is a great choice when it's difficult to install a 6" (150mm), or if the chimney stack has a few odd bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat, which is later transferred to the room. It does this via radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove reflect heat into the room or through convection, where it draws cold air from outside, heats it up, and then redirects it back to the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve maximum efficiency, using secondary and third air supply to reduce emissions and burn fuel efficiently.

Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel stove is a great example. It is approved 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 even include a top plate to cook on.

Multifuel stoves can also be extremely efficient in the way they use wood, though you should adhere to the instructions of your appliance to get the best results, and make sure that it is regularly inspected by a professional. It is also essential to select the correct fuel, as each type will burn at different rates and produce a different amount of energy. You must decide if you want your fire to produce lots of heat quickly, or if you are more interested in a long, slow burn and producing plenty of warm air in the room.

If you live in a smoke controlled area, it's important to be aware that only DEFRA approved stoves can burn authorised wood and smokeless coal. If you try to burn any other type of fuel, it could result in a huge fine and could cause damage to your stove as well.
