Multi Fuel Stoves For Sale
A multi-fuel stove can burn a greater variety of approved fuels compared to stoves solely powered by wood. This flexibility can reduce the cost of fuel as well as reduce the need to purchase or transport logs.
Multi-fuel stoves are fitted with a glass door for loading and light fuel as well as a chimney for venting waste gases, and an ash grates.
Versatility
Multi fuel stoves are popular because they offer the flexibility to burn various types of solid fuels. Modern multifuel stoves also minimize emissions, regardless of the fuel type you're burning. This is achieved by using secondary and tertiary outlets to help reduce volatile gases and turn them into less harmful substances.
Multifuel stoves are available in a broad selection of styles to fit your home from contemporary to traditional. They can be used with chimneys or without them, and offer different heat outputs to suit your heating requirements. If you're in a small glamping or cottage, you may not require a multifuel with a high temperature output. If you live in a huge area with lots of insulation or glass, you will need a multifuel stove that's more powerful, like the Portway Arundel Multifuel.
In addition to the versatility of burning different fuel types, most multifuel stoves come equipped with a grate which assists in the efficient burning of the fuel. Some models have removable grates that make it easier to switch between fuel types and clean the stove. A multifuel stove that has triple burn technology is also able to reduce harmful emissions by dividing the process of combustion into three phases which result in a more thorough burning process and less emissions.
Another method to increase the flexibility of your multifuel stove is to equip it with log stores. Log stores, such as the ACR Malvern Log Store and the Cast Tec Horizon 5 Log Store can be used to store space beneath the stove to store logs and fuel. They are ideal for rooms that do not have a chimney and provide a contemporary, contemporary look.
The grate on multifuel stoves also comes with an ash pan, which collects ash from the flame and lets you take it out for cleaning. Certain grate systems allow you move the ash pan either upwards or downwards in order to make sweeping easier and prevent excessive accumulation, which can hinder airflow. The majority of multifuel stoves have a built-in air control system that allows you to regulate the temperature of the fire.
Efficient
Multi-fuel stoves allow you to make the most out of different fuel options and save money on heating. For instance, you could use a combination of smokeless and wood fuel to heat your home without turning the central heating on. This is a great way to save on utility bills and enjoy the benefits of a stove while reducing your carbon footprint.
Multi-fuel stoves can also be extremely efficient. Most models have an asymmetrical combustion chamber that catalyzes the combustion process to improve efficiency and ensure that wood burns for longer. The combustor is situated above the firebox and can be circular or rectangular in shape. Some multi-fuel stoves also come with tertiary outlets to enhance combustion and efficiency.
When selecting a multi-fuel stove be sure to check if it's DEFRA approved and has an Ecodesign label. This will ensure that it meets the requirements of the government for environmental protection. You should also be aware of the local laws governing smoke control and make sure that your chimney system or flue is able provide adequate airflow. It's also important to measure the space in which you intend to put the stove, so you can determine its dimensions including width, height and length. This will help you compare the options available, and also ensure that the stove you choose is the correct size for the room.
Another benefit of a multi-fuel stove is that it's simple to manage and maintain. Most models have easy-to-use controls that allow you to alter the temperature in the room. Ash is disposed of in an ash pan that sits beneath the grate. It must be cleaned frequently to keep the ash from accumulating.
If you're looking to add modern, stylish appeal to your living area look into a modern multi-fuel stove. They last longer than wood-burning models because they are more durable.

Some models come in bold colours such as red and blue, for those who wish to stand out.
Controllable
A multi fuel stove has an integrated air flow control system that lets you manage the speed at which the fire burns and the amount of heat it produces. The air vents are adjustable to ensure that the fire is burning at optimum. This will allow you to save on heating bills and get more heat from each piece of fuel you use.
You can also control the grate as well as the ashpan that is beneath the burning fuel to improve efficiency. You can select a grate that is raised to maintain optimal combustion conditions, or a riddling grates that drops ash into a pan below to make removal easier and prevent airflow blockages.
Modern multi-fuel stoves are designed for maximum efficiency, reducing emissions of harmful gases and particulates as well like carbon monoxide and sulfur oxide. Ecodesign is a label that indicates the stove meets European standards for energy and environmental protection. Ecodesign-compliant multi-fuel stoves can be available for purchase and models that can be used in smoke control zones.
Multi-fuel stoves come in a variety to fit different styles of interiors and home decor. The models that are cylindrical like the ACR Solis and the Opus Harmony are sleek and round. They can be put in the chimney's opening, on a hearth measuring 12mm. This makes them a focal point in 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 a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and materials.
For a room of average size for a typical-sized room, a stove with a heat output of 5-6kW is usually sufficient. If you are looking to heat an open-plan living space or conservatory, then a stove with a higher power output, such as the Portway Arundel Multifuel or the Woodford Didsbury 5, may be better suited. You could also think about a multi fuel stove that has an electric blower, which will boost airflow and help distribute heat more efficiently, particularly in rooms that are well-insulated or with lots of windows.
Smokeless
As the name suggests, a multi fuel stove can burn both smokeless and wood-based fuels, unlike wood-burning stoves that only burn firewood. This makes it a great choice for people who live in smoke controlled areas or who wish to be able to burn both logs and coal in the same fireplace. We stock a wide range of smoke-free multi-fuel stoves from top brands such as Stovax Charnwood and Esse.
Anthracite is a popular kind of smokeless fuel. It is much more durable and smaller than regular household coal, with a high carbon content and less impurities, which means it burns more cleanly. This helps to reduce the amount of pollution produced by household waste, making it a much more sustainable option for the environment. It is slightly more difficult to light than home coal, because of its density. It is a good idea to help with this, to build small towers of kindling around the anthracite. Additionally, a few firelighters will help. It is also essential to have an unclean grate, since the ash may build up and block oxygen from getting to the flames.
Multi fuel stoves are an excellent option for those who wish to burn smokeless or wood fuels. They can be used with a variety fuels, including turf or peat, anthracite, and logs. Multifuel stoves can burn these fuels due to their flat grate which allows air to circulate under the flames. This is essential since coal requires a large amount of oxygen to ignite and burn whereas logs do not.
A lot of multifuel stoves have riddlers, which are a metal plate that sits on top of the grate. This is helpful for ash removal as it lets the user remove the ashes without having to open the stove door. Some of the more sophisticated models of multifuel stoves have a "cleanburn" technology that boosts the combustion air flow at the beginning of a fire to get the fire roaring quickly, and then shuts off the primary air control so that the fire can be controlled only by operating the secondary air control.
