Who Is Multi Burner Stove And Why You Should Take A Look

What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one kind of fuel. They create a controlled environment to allow different types of smokeless and wood fuels to burn to produce heat.

The stoves come with a firebox where the fuel is put in and ignited. They also have a door for access, a window, and air vents that regulate the flow of air and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves have an adjustable flame height control. This is a great feature if you're cooking and heating your stove at the same time. You can adjust the heat to your preferences and cook or heat your food more efficiently. Many multi fuel stoves have an integrated air vent in the rear of the stove, which helps to keep your fire burning even once you've used the stove and can be used to eliminate any noxious fumes from the stove.

In contrast to Wood burning Stoves which can only be used with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves allow you to use any solid fuel that is combustible, such as peat, coal and so on in addition to seasoned wood logs. Coal is slowly being discarded since it isn't suitable for areas with smoke control and may produce more harmful gases than wood that is seasoned.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove. Place some fire lighters or paper between dry kindling grates. Then, light the firelighters or paper and wait for Multi Burner Stove the kindling to light. After the kindling has been set the light, you can add the kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, allowing you to create a fire bed which will allow your logs to burn more efficiently.

A stove that is multi-fuel and of good quality will come with an ash pan and frame for carrying the grate to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Some newer stoves also include built-in grate carriers frames designed to enhance the combustion of your logs allowing more air to move through the stove when the logs are in a fire bed and burning.

If you plan to backpack or camp using your multi burner stove it is recommended to purchase one that features an advanced pot support design, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo which are able to better endure windy conditions. Non-integrated canister stoves tend to leave more of the flame exposed whereas the MSR PocketRocket and the newer MSR WindMaster feature a unique clamp-on pot support which hugs the sides of your stove, helping to improve performance in gusty conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove is able to regulate airflow, which allows the fire to burn at its optimal rate. The stove is able to produce heat efficiently, and the space is not filled with smoke or waste gases. The stove can also be used in conjunction with other fuels like coal. This is especially important as certain kinds of solid fuel are unable to be burned in smoke control areas and others are dirtier and more expensive than wood.

Contrary to wood burning stoves that are typically constructed with a static grate or riddling grate system, multi fuel stoves come with an integrated raised riddling grate which allows combustion air to flow under the fuel, making it easy to remove the ash from the ash pan. A lot of our multi fuel stoves come with a range of cutting-edge technologies like Cleanburn and Airwash which help ensure that the stove is running at its optimal level for each kind of fuel.

The primary and secondary air controls are used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. You can choose to operate them manually or automatically. The variable airflow feature lets you to control how much secondary and primary air is supplied to your stove. This will ensure that it is burning efficiently for the type of fuel you use.

To optimise the performance of your multi fuel stove, it's advisable to use kiln-dried logs that have a low moisture content. It is also an ideal idea to regularly add small quantities of wood to the fire and ensure that the stove is well maintained. Shut off the air supply, but not completely. This can create an air vortex that will draw unburned volatiles back into the fire. Make sure to keep the door of your stove slightly open but not completely so that you can add wood only when it is visible through the glass. When a log is added, place it horizontally on the glowing embers so that it doesn't touch the sides of the stove fireplace 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 could be the best choice for you. In addition to wood, multifuel stoves also burn peat or turf briquettes anthracite coal as well as many smokeless fuel types. This means that you can take advantage of an array of heat sources and reduce the amount of time and money spent on the purchase and transportation of various types of fuel.

A lot of wood burning stoves have primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary air vents to aid in controlling the flame pattern and increase efficiency. The use of these air 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 particularly beneficial because the prices of various fuels can be very different.

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 double as boilers, which heat tanks of water to be used by the household. You can even warm 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 are using wood burners to burn other types of solid fuel, it's likely to require addition of a special grate and an ash pan as these types of fuels do not burn the same manner as logs do.

Multifuel stoves feature a metal grate at the base of the fire chamber. It allows a flow of air from below to keep the flame burning. This is because coal, for instance requires lots of combustion air to stay lit. Multifuel stoves come with riddlers that can be removed to empty the ash when the fire is still burning. This prevents the ash from blocking air flow.

Cleanburn

Multi-fuel stoves are excellent because they can burn coal, wood without smoke and even some minerals. It is essential to select high-quality wood or wood pellets that have been properly seasoned and kiln-dried down to less than 20% moisture.

When wood is heated, the gases and particles that have built up within the wood throughout its lifespan are released. Older wood stoves and fireplaces release a significant amount of these up the chimney along with the heat, which results in lower efficiency and poor air quality in indoor areas. New stoves that use Cleanburn technology efficiently burn these gases and particles. This reduces emissions and leads to more efficient combustion as well as significantly lower temperatures of flue gas.

At Jotul we have high-level climate goals and that's why all our wood burning stoves are constructed with cleanburn technology. We have developed our own Cleanburn add-on that helps your stove burn cleaner and lessens soot buildup on your stove glass and firebox walls, especially when using fuels with a high moisture content.

Cleanburn wood stoves are an essential item for anyone who uses firewood as their primary source of heat. They can also be an excellent way to improve the air quality in your home. If you live in an area designated a smokeless zone then switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will allow you to adhere to the strict guidelines of this regulation and can make a big difference for those with asthma and other respiratory problems.

Our multi fuel stoves equipped with cleanburn technology come with secondary air, multi burner stove a pre-heated tertiary air system and vermiculite or plain steel stove base to ensure optimal combustion. The pre-heated tertiary system, which is typically only available on the most expensive stoves, assists in preventing smoke and ash from sticking to the glass of the stove and permits more gases to be burnt.

Cleanburn from Jotul is also a great additive to use in combination with the preheated tertiary air system to improve the combustion performance of your stove. It will create a cleaner and more efficient flame, which is carbon neutral, and reduce the soot deposits that build up on the interior wall of the firebox.
