Multi-fuel stoves come with an open glass door that can be used to load and light fuel and a chimney to vent waste gases and an ash grate.
Versatility
Many people buy multi fuel stoves on sale because they need the versatility of being able to burn a variety of different types of solid fuel. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to minimize emissions regardless of the type of fuel you're burning. This is achieved by using secondary and tertiary intakes to help burn volatile gases and convert them into less harmful substances.
Multifuel stoves are for sale in various styles, from traditional to contemporary. They can be used in rooms with or without chimneys and are available in a variety of heat outputs based on your heating requirements. For example, if you reside in a tiny cottage or glamping pod you may only need a multifuel stove that has 5-6kW of heat output. However, if you live in a a large room with a lot of glass or insulation it is likely that you will require a more powerful multifuel stove, such as the Portway Arundel Multifuel or the Woodford Didsbury 5.
Most multifuel stoves are equipped with a grate to help the fuel burn more efficiently. Some models have removable grates that allow you to easily change fuel types and clean the stove. A multifuel stove with triple burn technology also helps to reduce harmful emissions by dividing the process of combustion into three phases, 349338 which results in more complete burning and less emissions.
Installing a log storage under your multifuel stove will enhance its flexibility. Log stores such as the ACR Malvern Log Store or the Cast Tec Horizon 5 Log Store provide storage space under the stove to store logs and other fuel. They are ideal for rooms that don't have chimneys. They also have modern and contemporary style.
The grate of multifuel stoves also comes with an ash pan, which collects the ash from the fire and allows you to remove it for cleaning. Some grate systems allow you to move the ash pan either up or down to allow for easy cleaning and prevent excessive build-up, which can affect the flow of air. The majority of multifuel stoves have an air control system built in which allows you to regulate the temperature.
Efficient
A multi-fuel stove allows you to make the most of different fuel options to save money on heating. You can, for example, use a combination wood and smokeless fuels to heat your house without turning on central heating. This is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your utility costs.
Multi-fuel stoves are also extremely efficient. They typically have a catalytic combustion chamber in order to improve efficiency and allow wood to burn for longer. The combustor is situated above the firebox and can be rectangular or circular in shape. Some multi-fuel stoves are also equipped with secondary air inlets, thereby enhancing combustion and efficiency.
When you are choosing a multi-fuel stove be sure to check if it's DEFRA approved and comes with an Ecodesign label. This will ensure it meets the requirements of the government to protect the environment. It is also important to be aware of any local smoke control regulations and make sure that your chimney or flue system can provide sufficient airflow. It is also crucial to measure the space where you plan to install the stove, so you can determine its dimensions including width, height, and length. This will help you evaluate your options and ensure that the model is appropriate for the room.
Another benefit of a multi-fuel stove is that it's easy to operate and maintain. The majority of models come with easy-to-use controls that allow you to adjust the temperature in the room. The grates of the stove drop ash into an ash pan below, which has to be regularly cleaned to prevent it from accumulating and disrupting the circulation of air.

The air vents are adjustable to ensure that the fire is burning at optimum. This will allow you to save money on heating bills and get more heat from each pound of fuel that you consume.
You can also control the grate as well as the ashpan beneath the burning fuel to increase efficiency. You can select a raised grate which moves to ensure optimal combustion conditions, or a riddling grates which drop ash into the pan below to make removal simpler and to prevent airflow blockages.
Modern multi-fuel stoves are engineered for the highest efficiency, while reducing emissions of harmful gases and particulates as well as carbon monoxide and sulphur oxide. Ecodesign is a seal that indicates that the stove is in compliance with European environmental and energy standards. Ecodesign compliant multi-fuel stoves are available for sale and models that can be used in smoke control zones.
Multi-fuel stoves come in a variety of designs to complement different styles of interiors and home decor. Cylindrical models such as the ACR Solis or the Opus Harmony have sleek, rounded shapes and are best to be placed outside of a chimney opening on a 12mm hearth to become the focal point of the room. Others are recessed into the wall such as the Hamlet Solution 5, the Woodford Lovell C400, and the Westfire Uniq 35 and offer minimalist design, with clean lines and materials.
For a typical-sized room, a stove with a heating capacity of 5-6kW should be sufficient. If you are looking to heat a large living space or conservatory, a model which has a higher output of heat like the Woodford Didsbury 5 or the Portway Arundel Multifuel could be more suitable. You can also look into a multifuel stove with an optional electric blower, which can increase the flow of air and distribute heat more rapidly especially in rooms with good insulation or many windows.
Smokeless
Like the name implies, a multi fuel stove can be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels - unlike dedicated wood burning stoves that only burn firewood. This makes it an excellent option for those who live in areas that are smoke-free or want to be able to burn coal and logs in the same fireplace. We carry a variety of high-quality, smoke-free multi fuel stoves from top brands such as Stovax, Charnwood and Esse.
Anthracite is a very popular type of smokeless fuel. It is more durable and compact, and has more carbon. It also burns cleaner. It is a better choice for the environment because it reduces the amount of pollution that a household produces. It can be difficult to light, however, as it is much denser than house coal. To help with this, it's recommended to construct a small tower of tinder around the anthracite, as with some firelighters. It is also important to make sure you use an grate that is clean, as the accumulation of ash can block oxygen from getting to the flames.
A multi fuel stove is also a great option for those who want to burn both wood and smokeless fuels, as it can be used with a range of approved fuels like peat or turf briquettes anthracite, and logs. Multifuel stoves are generally specifically designed burn these kinds of fuels by providing them with a flat grate that permits air to circulate underneath the flames. This is vital because coal requires a lot of air to ignite and burn, while logs don't require this.
Many multifuel stoves also have a riddler which is a metal plate that is placed on the top of the grate. This aids in the removal of ash because it allows the user to dispose of ashes without opening the door of the stove. Certain advanced models of multifuel stoves come with “cleanburn” technology that increases combustion air at the beginning of the fire to get it roaring quickly and then shuts off the primary control, ensuring that the fire can be controlled by the secondary control.
