What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one type of fuel. They provide a controlled environment to allow various types of smokeless and wood-based fuels to burn to produce heat.

The stoves come with an open firebox in which the fuel is placed and then lit. They also have a door that allows access, a window and air vents to control the flow of air and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves have an adjustable flame height control. This is great when cooking and heating with the same stove as it lets you adjust the heat of your fire to meet your needs and cook/heat food more efficiently. Many multi fuel stoves come with a built in air vent on the rear of the stove which allows you to keep your flame burning even after you've used the stove. It can also be used to remove all noxious fumes that are released from the stove.

Multi-fuel stoves are an excellent alternative to wood-burning stoves, which only burn logs. They let you burn any solid fuel, such as peat, coal and so on. in addition to well-seasoned logs. Coal is slowly being discarded because it is not suitable in smoke control areas and produces more toxic gasses than seasoned wood.

To ignite a fire on a multi fuel stove simply open the door and place fire lighters or paper amid dry twigs and dry kindling on the grill. Light the paper or firelighters, and wait until the kindling catches flames. After the kindling has been set alight you can then add your kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, which will allow you to build a bed that will help your logs burn more efficiently.

A multi-fuel stove of good quality will come with an ash pan and grate carrier frame to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Some newer stoves come with an inbuilt grate carrier that allows more air to pass through the grate when the logs are burning.

If you're planning to camp or backpack using your multi-burner stove it's a good idea that you purchase one with advanced pot support system, like the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil MiniMo. These can better stand up to windy conditions. Canister stoves that are not integrated tend to leave more of the flame exposed, whereas the MSR PocketRocket and the newer MSR WindMaster feature a unique clamp-on pot support that fits the sides of the stove, helping to increase performance in windy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves can regulate the airflow to ensure that the fire burns at its optimal rate. The stove is able to produce heat efficiently, and the space is not cluttered with waste gases or smoke. The stove can also be used in conjunction with other fuels, like coal. This is crucial since some forms of solid fuel are not able to be used in smoke control areas, and some are more soiled and more expensive than wood.

Multi fuel stoves have a raised riddling grate that allows combustion air to flow underneath the fuel. This makes it easier to remove the ash from the ashpan. A lot of our multi fuel stoves also feature a variety of new technologies including Cleanburn and Airwash that help ensure that the stove is running at the highest level for each kind of fuel.

The air primary and secondary controls can be used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. These can be operated by hand or automatically, based on your preference. The adjustable airflow feature allows you to control how much primary and second air is delivered to your stove. This will ensure that it burns at its most efficient level for the type of fuel you use.

To optimize the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's advisable to use kiln dried logs that have a low moisture content. It's also a good idea to add small amounts of wood to the flame, and keep the stove well maintained. Do not close the air supply completely but this could cause a vortex that sucks volatile compounds that are not burned back into the fire. Try to keep the stove door slightly open, but not completely, so that you can add wood only when it is visible through the glass. Once a log is added to the stove, it should be placed horizontally on the glowing embers so that it doesn't touch either the side of the stove or the bottom of the grate bars.

Adjustable Temperature

If you're looking to have the option of burning a variety fuels then a multi burner stove may be the right option for you. A multifuel stove can be used for burning wood logs, peat or electric Stove Heaters turf briquettes as well as anthracite as well as other fuels that are smokeless. You can now enjoy a wide range of heat sources, and save time and money by not having to buy and transport different types of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves come with primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary air vents to help regulate the flame pattern and improve efficiency. The air vents enable the stove to be adjusted to a particular type of fuel and achieve optimum heat output. This is especially beneficial since the price of various fuels can differ greatly.

You can also use a multifuel stove to heat water systems for domestic use. This will allow you to provide hot water to your home. Some models can even function as a boiler, heating the water tank for use by household. You can even warm your home without turning on the central heating system.

The main distinction between the multi-fuel stove and the log burner is its ability to only burn wood logs. If you use a wood burner to burn other types of solid fuel, then it's likely to require addition of a special grate as well as an ash pan since these types of fuels do not burn in the same manner as logs do.

Multifuel stoves come with a metal grates at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and help keep the flame burning. This is because coal, for Electric Stove Heaters instance, needs plenty of combustion air to stay in flame. As a result, multifuel stoves are typically equipped with a riddler that can be removed and emptied when the fire is alight to prevent a build up of ash blocking the flow of air.

Cleanburn

A multi fuel stove is fantastic because it can burn smokeless coal, wood and even certain mineral fuels. But, it is essential to select a high-quality wood or wood pellet that has been properly seasoned and dried to below 20% moisture content.

When wood is heated the gases and particles that have accumulated in the wood over time are released. Older fireplaces or wood stoves release many of these particles and gases directly up the chimney as a result of the heat. This causes poor indoor air quality and low efficiency. Modern stoves that incorporate Cleanburn technology, on the other hand can effectively burn these gases and particles. This technology reduces emissions, improves the efficiency of combustion and reduces the temperature of flue gas.

At Jotul we have high-level climate goals and that's why all of our wood burning stoves are constructed with cleanburn technology. We have created our own Cleanburn add-on to help your stove burn cleaner and lessens soot buildup on your electric stove heaters, visit the following page, glass and firebox walls, specifically when you use fuels with high moisture content.

Cleanburn wood stoves are a must-have for those who use firewood as their primary source of heat. They can also be a great way to improve your air quality in your home. If you live in an area that is designated a smokeless zone then switching to a cleaner-burning stove will help you adhere to the strict rules of this rule and be a huge benefit for people suffering from asthma and other respiratory problems.

Cleanburn stoves in our multi-fuel stoves include secondary air and a preheated tertiary system, as well as a plain steel stove base or vermiculite for the best combustion. The pre-heated tertiary system, which is typically only used on the highest priced stoves, helps prevent smoke and ash from sticking to the glass of the stove, and also allows more gases to be burnt.

The Cleanburn additive from Jotul can be used in conjunction with the pre-heated tertiary air-system to improve your stoves combustion performance further and is a great method to create a cleaner, more efficient, carbon neutral flame and reduce the amount of soot that accumulates on the inside of the firebox of your stove.
