What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one kind of fuel. They create a controlled space for various types of wood or smokeless fuels.

They have a firebox into which the fuel is inserted and lit, a door to access it, a glass window and air vents that let you regulate the stove's air supply while limiting the speed at which the fire is burning.

Adjustable Flame

A lot of multi-fuel stoves come with an adjustable flame control. This is a fantastic feature to have if you're cooking and heating your stove at the same time. You can alter the heat according to your needs, and cook/heat your food more efficiently. Most multi-fuel stoves have an air vent built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire burning even after you've finished cooking. It also can be used for expulsion of any harmful fumes.

Unlike Wood burning Stoves which are designed to be used only with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves permit the use of any solid fuel that can be combustible like coal, peat etc in addition to seasoned wood logs. Coal is being gradually disregarded because it is not suitable for smoke control areas and produces more toxic fumes than seasoned wood.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove. Put some paper or fire lighters between dry kindling grates. Light the paper or firelighters and wait until the kindling is flames. Once the kindling is alight then you can place your dried logs that have been kiln-dried on the top to create a fire bed. This will help your logs to burn more efficiently.

A good quality Multi fuel stove will have an ash pan and grate carrier frame. ash pan so you can remove the ash from your woodburner stove without opening the door. Some newer stoves come with a built in grate carrier, which allows more air to pass through while the logs are burning.

If you plan on backpacking or camping using your multi burner stove it is recommended to choose one that has an advanced design for pot support, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo which are able to better stand up to winds. Non-integrated containers leave more of the fire exposed. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the more recent MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that is clamped to the side of the stove to improve performance during stormy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

Multi fuel stoves can regulate the airflow so that the fire burns at the optimal rate. This enables the stove to generate heat at a high efficiency that avoids waste gases and smoke entering the room. The stove can also be used with other fuels, such as coal. This is especially important as some forms of solid fuel are not able to be burned in smoke control areas, and some are more soiled and more expensive than wood.

Contrary to wood burning stoves that are typically constructed with an unmoving grate or riddling grate system, multi-fuel stoves have an integrated raised riddling grate to allow combustion air to flow under the fuel, and make it easy to remove the ash from the ash pan. Many of our multi fuel stoves also come with a range of cutting-edge technologies including Cleanburn and Airwash which help ensure that the stove is burning at its optimum level for each kind of fuel.

modern wood burning stove multi fuel Woodburning stoves (Http://pulstrak.Net) can be adjusted by using the air primary and secondary controls. These can be operated manually or automatically, depending on your preference. The variable airflow feature lets you to control the amount of secondary and first air is supplied to your stove. This will ensure that the stove is burning efficiently for each type of fuel.

It is recommended to use logs that have been dried and kiln-fired, and have a low amount of moisture. It is also a good idea to regularly add small amounts of wood to the flame, and ensure that the stove is well maintained. Do not close the air supply completely however, as this could create a vortex that draws 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's 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 the side of the stove or the bottom of the grate bars.

Adjustable Temperature

If you're looking to be able to choose between burning a variety of fuels, then a multi-burner stove may be the right choice for you. A multifuel stove is capable of burning wood logs, peat or turf briquettes along with anthracite and other fuels that are smokeless. This means you can enjoy a wider range of heating sources and decrease the amount of time and money spent on transporting and buying different kinds of fuel.

Many wood burning stoves feature primary, secondary and occasionally third air vents to aid in controlling the flame pattern and increase efficiency. The use of these vents means that you can adjust the stove for the type of fuel you prefer and have a fire that is optimal with great heat output. This is especially useful since the prices of different fuels can differ greatly.

A multifuel stove can also be used to heat a domestic hot water system, which means you can provide your home with hot water. Some models double as boilers, which heat a tank of water to be used by the household. You can warm up your home without having to turn on the central heating system.

One of the main distinctions between a multi fuel stove and the traditional log burner is that the latter is only able to burn wood logs. If you intend to make use of a wood stove to burn other solid fuels, then it is likely that you will require a grate that is specially designed for them as they don't burn the same as logs.

Multifuel stoves have a metal grates at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and keep the flame burning. This is due to the fact that coal is, for instance, requires lots of combustion air to remain burning. Therefore, multifuel stoves are usually fitted with a riddler which can be removed and empty when the fire is alight to prevent a build up of ash blocking the air flow.

Cleanburn

The multi fuel stove is great since it allows you to use smokeless coal, wood and even certain mineral fuels. It is crucial to select high-quality wood or wood burning stove pellets that have been properly seasoned, and kiln-dried down to less than 20% moisture.

When wood is heated in the oven, gases and particles that have accumulated in wood over its lifetime are released. Older fireplaces and wood stoves release many of these particles and gases directly up the chimney with the heat. This results in poor indoor air quality and low efficiency. New stoves equipped with Cleanburn technology however efficiently burn these gases and particles. This technology reduces emissions, increases combustion efficiency and lowers temperatures of the flue gas.

Jotul has high ambitions in the area of climate change, which is the reason we design all our wood burning appliances with cleanburn technology. We have also developed our own Cleanburn additive that helps your stove burn more cleanly and reduces the amount of soot accumulation on the walls of your firebox and stove glass, particularly when you're using high moisture content wood or fuels that are softer, such as softwood.

Cleanburn wood stoves are a must-have for anyone who uses firewood as their primary source of heat. They are also a great way to improve the air quality of your home. If you live in an area designated a smokeless zone then switching to a stove fireplace that is cleaner burning will allow you to adhere to the strict rules of this rule and make a big difference for those suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Our multi fuel stoves equipped with cleanburn technology come with secondary air and a pre-heated tertiary system and a plain steel or Woodburning stoves vermiculite stove base to ensure optimal combustion. The pre-heated tertiary air system, typically only found on the most expensive stoves, assists in preventing ash and smoke from sticking to the glass of the bio ethanol stove and allows for more gas to be burned.

Cleanburn from Jotul is an excellent addition to use in combination with the preheated tertiary air system to improve the combustion performance of your stove. It will produce an efficient and cleaner flame that is carbon neutral and will help reduce the soot deposits that accumulate on the inner wall of the firebox.
