Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are an excellent option for homeowners who would like to use a wood-burning stove, but do not have room to store logs. These stoves are able to be filled with wood or manufactured fuels like coal and peat. These stoves are generally capable of combusting both of these types of fuel more efficiently than traditional log burners. This is due to the fact that multi fuel stove defra approved-fuel stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels.

The grate that is raised on stoves that are 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 for them to ignite and burn correctly. The majority of multi-fuel stoves feature a secondary airflow that can be opened or shut depending on the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire burning by supplying an additional supply of air into the stove. It also increases the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in the fireplace can be used to alter flame height and temperature. This is important because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different amounts of heat. Making sure you keep the flame's high and temperature within a certain range will ensure your stove is operating as efficiently as possible and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

In the end, you'll need to regularly remove ash from your stove and then store it in an ash pan or bucket. This will stop too much of the ash from getting on the stove grate bars and preventing your fuel from burning properly. To prevent discoloration, you should clean the glass of your stove regularly. You can keep your stove looking new by using a soft damp scourer along with a stove cleaner. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when cleaning and maintaining your stove to avoid damage or causing problems.

A stove that is approved by Defra will typically include an automatic fuel feed as well as an air supply control, to ensure that the fire burns efficiently.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, it is crucial to make use of an Defra approved stove to ensure that you comply with regulations and avoid paying huge fines for illegal burning. There are a variety of approved stoves from Defra available, but we suggest that you select a woodburning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant.

Pellet stoves can be a great alternative to conventional multi-fuel stoves. They make use of compressed wood or biomass to produce a high-quality fire that is extremely efficient. The pellets, comprised of sawdust or other wood products that were rejected, are an environmentally green alternative. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, so they can be used for cooking too. The standard 6" (150mm), but still compatible with a 5 1/2" (125mm) liner is a typical feature. This is an advantage where it could be difficult to install an ordinary 6" (150mm) stove or the chimney stack has some awkward bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat, which is then distributed 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 through convection, where it draws cold air from outside, then heats it up and then directs it back to the room. The majority of modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output making use of secondary and tertiary air sources to reduce emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as it can.

One of the best examples is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is both Defra and Ecodesign approved.

It is also crucial to select the appropriate fuel, as each type will burn at different rates and produce a different amount of energy. You will need to decide if you want your fire to produce lots of heat quickly, or prefer to invest in a long, slow burning and creating a warm air in the room.
