Multi Fuel Stoves For Sale
A multi-fuel stove can burn a larger variety of approved fuels as compared to wood-only stoves. This flexibility can lower the cost of fuel and make it easier for you to not have to purchase or transport logs.
Multi-fuel stoves are fitted with an open glass door, a door to load and light fuel as well as a chimney for venting waste gases and an Ash grate.
Versatility
Many people purchase multi fuel stoves for sale because they need the flexibility to burn a range of different types of solid fuel. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to minimise emissions, regardless of the fuel type you're burning. This is accomplished by using secondary and tertiary intakes to help in the combustion of volatile gases and convert them into less harmful substances.
Multifuel stoves are available in a wide selection of styles to fit your home from contemporary to traditional. They can be used with or without chimneys, and come with different heat outputs to suit your heating needs. For instance, if you reside in a tiny cottage or glamping glamping pod you may only require a multifuel stove with 5-6kW of average heat output. If you live in a huge space with lots of glass or insulation then you'll need a multifuel stove that is more powerful, like the Woodford Didsbury 5 or Portway Arundel Multifuel.
In addition to the possibility of burning different types of fuel, most multifuel stoves come with a grate that helps the fuel burn efficiently. Certain models have removable grates, making it easier to switch between different types of fuel and also clean the stove. A multifuel stove that has triple burn technology can help to reduce harmful gases by dividing the process of combustion into three stages which result in more complete burning and lower emissions.
Installing a log storage underneath your multifuel stove can increase its versatility. Log stores, like the ACR Malvern Log Store and the Cast Tec Horizon 5 Log Store offer storage under your stove to store logs and fuel. They are perfect for rooms that don't have chimneys. They also have a contemporary, modern look.
The grate of a multifuel stove also features an ash pan, which collects the ash from the fire and allows you to take it out for cleaning. Certain grate systems allow you move the ash pan upwards or downwards to make sweeping easier and prevent excessive accumulation, which can hinder airflow. Most multifuel stoves come with an air control system built in that allows you to control the temperature.
Efficient
Multi-fuel stoves let you get the most benefit from different fuel options and save money on heating. You can, for example, use a combination wood and smokeless fuels to warm your home without turning on central heating. This is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on utility bills.
Multi-fuel stoves are also incredibly efficient. They typically have an asymmetrical combustion chamber that catalyzes the combustion process to improve efficiency and allow wood to burn for longer. The combustor is either circular or rectangular and sits over the firebox. Some multi-fuel stoves also come with tertiary outlets to enhance combustion and efficiency.
Check that the stove is DEFRA-approved and comes with an Ecodesign Label. This will ensure it meets the requirements of the government for environmental protection. It is also important to be aware of the local laws governing smoke control and make sure that your chimney system or flue can provide adequate airflow. Also, you should measure the space in which you are planning to put the stove including its height, width, length, and dimensions. This will let you evaluate your options and ensure that the stove is a good fit for the space.
Another benefit of a multi-fuel stove is that it's simple to operate and maintain. Most models feature easy-to-use controls, making it easy to adjust the temperature in the room. The grill of the stove releases ash into an ash tray below, which has to be regularly cleaned to prevent it from building up and causing disruption to the circulation of air.
Think about a modern multifuel stove if you are looking to add a stylish modern look to your living room. They last longer than wood-burning models due to the fact that they are more durable. They are available in a variety of styles, ranging from the traditional to the minimalistic. Multi-fuel stoves come in a classic black color that goes well with many interior color schemes. However certain models are available in a variety of striking colours like red and blue for those who wish to stand out.
Controllable
Multi fuel stoves come with an air flow control system built in that allows you to control how quickly the fire burns, and the amount of heat it generates. The air vents are manually adjustable to achieve optimal combustion. This will allow you to save on heating bills and make more heat from each pound of fuel you use.
You can also control the grate and the ashpan underneath the burning fuel to increase efficiency. You can select a higher grate that moves to ensure optimal combustion conditions or opt for riddling grates that drop the ash into an ashpan below for simple removal and to avoid blockages of the airflow.
Modern multi-fuel stoves are designed to achieve the highest efficiency, while reducing emissions of harmful gases and particulates as well like carbon monoxide and sulfur oxide. Ecodesign is a seal that indicates the stove meets European standards for energy and environmental protection. Ecodesign-compliant multi-fuel stoves can be available for purchase, including models that can be used in smoke control zones.
Multi-fuel stoves are available in a variety to fit different styles of interiors and home decor. The cylindrical models such as the ACR Solis and the Opus Harmony are rounded and sleek. They can be placed outside of a chimney opening, on a hearth measuring 12mm. 7kw multi fuel stove makes them a focal point of the room. Some are built into the wall for example, like the Hamlet Solution 5 or the Woodford Lovell C400. They offer a minimalist look with clean lines and attractive materials.
A stove with a production of 5-6kW is usually adequate for a room that is average in size. If you want to heat a large open-plan living area or conservatory, then a model with higher heat output like the Portway Arundel Multifuel or the Woodford Didsbury 5 may be better suited. You can also look into a multifuel stove with an optional electric blower, which will increase the flow of air and distribute heat more rapidly, particularly in rooms that are well-insulated or have plenty of windows.
Smokeless
Multi fuel stoves can burn wood as well as smokeless fuels, as opposed to wood burning stoves, which can only burn firewood. It is a great choice for people who live in smoke-free areas or want to burn coal and logs in the same fireplace. We have a selection of top quality, smokeless multi fuel stoves from leading brands like Stovax, Charnwood and Esse.
Anthracite fuel is a very popular smokeless fuel. It is harder and more compact, and has an increased carbon content. It also burns cleaner. This helps to reduce the amount of pollutants produced by household waste and makes it a more sustainable option for the environment. It is a bit difficult to light, however, as it is much denser than coal used in homes. It is a good idea to help with this to build small towers of kindling around the anthracite. Additionally, a few firelighters can help. It is also essential to use an grate that is clean, as ash can build up and stop oxygen from getting to the flames.
Multi fuel stoves are a great choice for those who want to burn smokeless and wood fuels. They can be used with a variety fuels like peat or turf anthracite, as well as logs. Most multifuel stoves are specifically designed to burn these types of fuels by providing them with a flat grate that permits air to circulate underneath the flames. This is crucial because coal requires a lot of air to ignite and burn, while logs don't require this.
Many multifuel stoves have riddlers, which are a metal sheet that sits on top of the grate. This is helpful to remove ash since it lets the user remove the ashes without having to open the stove door. Some modern multifuel stoves come with "cleanburn" technology that increases combustion air at the beginning of an fire to start it roaring quickly, then shuts down the primary control, so that the fire is controlled by the secondary control.
