Multi Fuel Stoves For Sale
A multi fuel stove available for sale can burn a wider range of approved fuels than wood-only stoves. This flexibility can reduce the cost of fuel and make it easier for you to not have to purchase or transport logs.
Multi-fuel stoves feature windows made of glass, a door for loading and lighting fuel, a flue to vent gasses and an edging for the fire that can support coal and other smokeless fuels.
Versatility
Multi fuel stoves are popular because they offer the flexibility to burn various types of solid fuels. Modern multifuel stoves are also designed to minimise emissions, regardless of the type of fuel you're burning. They achieve this by efficient combustion and utilizing secondary and tertiary air inlets that help to burn volatile gases into less harmful substances.
Multifuel stoves for sale are available in a broad variety of styles that will fit your home from contemporary to traditional. 5kw multi fuel stove can be used with chimneys or without them, and offer a range of temperatures to meet your heating needs. For instance, if you live in a small cottage or glamping glamping pod you may only require a multifuel stove with an average 5-6kW heat output. However, if you live in a large rooms with lots of glass or insulation then you'll likely require a more powerful multifuel stove, such as the Portway Arundel Multifuel or the Woodford Didsbury 5.
The majority of multifuel stoves come with a grate that helps the combustion process more efficiently. Certain models come with removable grates that allow you to easily switch between fuel types and clean the stove. Multifuel stoves with triple burn technology also reduce harmful gas emissions. This is because the combustion process is split into three phases. This results in a more complete burning process, and lower emissions.
Another way to enhance the versatility of your multifuel stove is by installing it with the log store. Log stores, like the ACR Malvern Log Store and the Cast Tec Horizon 5 Log Store, provide storage space beneath your stove to store fuel and logs. They are ideal for rooms that do not have chimneys. They also have modern, contemporary design.
The grate of a multifuel stove is an ash pan that holds the ash from the fire and allows you to take it out it in order to clean it. Certain grate systems permit you to move the ash pan either up or down to make it easier to sweep and prevent excessive build-up, which can affect the flow of air. Most multifuel stoves come with an air control system built-in that lets you control the temperature.
Efficient
Multi-fuel stoves let you make the most of different fuel options and save money on heating. For instance, you can utilize a combination of wood and smokeless fuel to warm your home without turning the central heating on. This is a great method 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 ensure that wood burns for longer. The combustor sits above the firebox and can be circular or rectangular in shape. Some multi-fuel stoves are also equipped with secondary air inlets, which further improve combustion and efficiency.
When choosing a stove that is multi-fuel, check that it is DEFRA approved and has an Ecodesign label. This will ensure that it meets the requirements of the government for environmental protection. You must also be aware of any local regulations regarding smoke control and make sure that your chimney or flue system can provide sufficient ventilation. You should also determine the area in which you are planning to put the stove including its width, height, and dimensions. This will let you compare the options and ensure that the model fits into the room correctly.
A multi-fuel stove also has the advantage of being simple to operate and maintain. Many models come with simple controls that make it easy to alter the temperature of the room. The ash is collected in an ash pan that is placed below the grate. The pan must be emptied frequently to prevent the ash from accumulating.
Look into a modern multifuel stove if you want to add an elegant modern look to your living room. These stoves are often sturdier and more durable than their wood-burning counterparts, so you can count on them to last for a long time. They're also available in a range of styles, ranging from traditional to minimalistic. Multi-fuel stoves are available in a classic black color that works well with a variety of interior colour schemes. Some models are available in bold colours like blue and red for those looking to stand out.
Controllable
A multi fuel stove comes with a built-in air flow control system that lets you manage how quickly the fire burns and the amount of heat it produces. The air vents are manually adjusted to ensure optimal combustion. This will help you save money on heating bills and get more heat from each pound of fuel you use.
The ashpan and grate that sits beneath the burning fuel can also be controlled for efficiency. You can choose a raised grate that moves to ensure the best combustion conditions or opt for a riddling grate that drops the ash into an ashpan beneath for easy removal and to prevent blockages of airflow.
Modern multi-fuel stoves are designed to provide maximum efficiency and reduce the emission of harmful gases, particulates, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. Ecodesign is a seal that signifies that the stove complies with European energy and environmental standards. Ecodesign-compliant multi-fuel stoves are available for sale, including models that can be used in smoke control zones.
Multi-fuel stoves are available in a variety of designs to complement different styles of interiors and home decor. The models that are cylindrical like the ACR Solis and the Opus Harmony are sleek and rounded. They can be placed on the outside of a chimney opening, or on an area that is 12mm in diameter. This will make them a focal point of the room. Others are built into the wall like the Hamlet Solution 5, the Woodford Lovell C400 or the Westfire Uniq 35 and offer minimalist design, with clean lines and modern materials.
For an average-sized room for a typical-sized room, a stove that has a power output of 5-6kW should be sufficient. If you are looking to heat a large living area or conservatory, a stove that is more efficient in terms of heat output such as the Woodford Didsbury 5 or Portway Arundel Multifuel may be better suited. You could consider a multifuel stove that comes with an electric blower. This can increase the airflow within the room and help spread heat more quickly, especially if it is well insulated or has many windows.
Smokeless
As the name suggests a multi fuel stove can be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels - unlike wood-burning stoves that only burn firewood. This makes it a great 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 top quality, smokeless multi fuel stoves from top brands such as Stovax, Charnwood and Esse.
Anthracite fuel is a well-known smokeless fuel. It is harder and more compact, and has more carbon. It also burns cleaner. This helps to reduce the amount of pollution generated by households, making it a much better option for the environment. It is a bit more difficult to light than house coal because of its density. To help with this, it is an ideal idea to build a small tower of kindling around the anthracite, as well being a few firelighters. It is also essential to use a clean grate, as the accumulation of ash can block oxygen from reaching the flames.
A multi fuel stove is also a great option for those who intend to burn both wood and smokeless fuels, as it can be used in conjunction with a range of approved fuels, including peat or turf briquettes, anthracite, and logs. The majority of multifuel stoves are designed to to burn these types of fuels by providing them with an open grate that allows air to circulate underneath the flames. This is essential because coal requires a lot of air to ignite and burn, whereas logs don't require this.
Many multifuel stoves also have a riddler which is a metal plate that sits on top of the grate. This is beneficial to remove ash since it allows the user to remove the ashes without opening the door of the stove. Some advanced models of multifuels stoves come with "cleanburn" technology that boosts the combustion air prior to the start of an fire to ignite it quickly, and then shuts off the primary control, ensuring that the fire can be controlled by the secondary control.
