What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi-burner stove is designed to burn different types of fuel. They create a controlled environment for different types of wood or smokeless fuels.

They come with a firebox which the fuel is inserted and lit, a door to access it, a glass window and air vents that let you moderate the stove's air supply while limiting how fast the fire burns.

Adjustable Flame

Many multi fuel stoves have an adjustable flame height control. This is a great feature when cooking and heating with the same stove because it lets you adjust the heat of your fire to meet your requirements and cook or heat food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves come with an air vent that is built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire burning even after you've finished cooking. It can also be used to eliminate any noxious fumes.

In contrast to Wood burning Stoves that are designed to be used only with logs, Multi Fuel Stoves allow you to use any solid fuel that can be combustible like peat, coal, etc. in addition to well-seasoned wood logs. Coal is slowly being discarded as it is not suitable for areas with smoke control and may produce more toxic gases than seasoned wood.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove. Place some fire lighters or paper between dry kindling grates. Then, light the paper or firelighters and wait until the fire catches the light. Once the kindling has caught alight you can then add the dried logs that you kiln-dried to the top of the kindling, which will allow you to create a fire bed that will help your logs burn more efficiently.

A good Multi fuel stove will feature an ash pan and grate carrier frame. the ash pan, so you can remove the ash from your stove without opening the door. Some modern stoves include built-in grate carrier frames designed to enhance combustion of your logs by allowing more air to pass through the stove when the logs are placed in a fire bed and burning.

If you are planning on backpacking or camping with your multi-burner stove, it is recommended to buy one with an advanced design for pot support such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 and Jetboil MiniMo which are able to better stand up to windy conditions. Non-integrated canisters leave more of the fire unprotected. The MSR PocketRocket 2 and the newer MSR WindMaster have a unique pot support that can be secured to the stove's side to improve performance during stormy conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove can regulate airflow, allowing the fire to burn at a maximum rate. The stove produces heat efficiently, and the space is not suffocated with fumes or waste gases. It also allows the stove to work with different kinds of fuels, including coal. This is important because some solid fuels cannot be used in smoke control areas, and others are dirtier or more expensive than wood.

Unlike wood burning stoves, which are typically set up with an unmoving grate or riddling grate system, multi fuel stoves feature an incorporated raised riddling grate that allows combustion air to flow beneath the fuel, and make it simple to remove ash from the ash pan. Multi fuel stoves come with a variety of modern technologies, such as Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies ensure that the stove is burning at its optimal level for the fuel type it is.

Modern multi fuel stoves can be adjusted using the secondary and primary air controls. You can choose to operate them either manually or automatically. The variable airflow feature lets you to control how much secondary and first air is pumped into your stove. This will ensure that the stove is burning efficiently for each type fuel.

It is recommended to select wood that has been dried and kiln-fired, and have a low amount of moisture. Keep the stove in good condition and add small amounts of fuel to the fire regularly. Shut off the air supply but not completely. This could create an air vortex that will draw unburned volatiles back into the fire. Make sure to keep the stove door slightly open but not completely so you can add wood only when it's visible through the glass. Place the log horizontally on the top of the glowing embers, so that it doesn't get in the way of the stove's side or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

If you want to be able to choose between burning a variety fuels, then a multi burner stove could be the best choice for you. A multifuel stove is capable of burning wood logs, peat or turf briquettes as well as anthracite and other fuels that are smokeless. You can now choose from a wide range of heating sources, and save time and money by not having to purchase and transport different types of fuel.

A lot of wood burning stoves have primary, secondary and sometimes third air vents to aid in controlling the flame pattern and increase efficiency. These vents allow you to set the stove to a specific type of fuel and get the maximum heat output. This is especially useful since the prices of different fuels can be very different.

You can also make use of a multifuel stove to heat a domestic water system. This will allow you to provide hot water to your home. Some models can even be used as boilers to heat the hot water tank for use by the household. You can heat your home without turning on the central heating system.

The main difference between a multi-fuel stove and a log burner is its capability to burn only wood logs. If you want to use a wood stove for other solid fuels, it is likely that you will require a special grate since they don't burn the same as logs.

Multifuel stoves have grates made of metal that are located at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and help keep the flame burning. This is due to the fact that coal is, for instance, requires lots of combustion air in order to stay alight. This is why multifuel stoves are usually fitted with a riddler which can be removed and emptied while the fire is alight to prevent a accumulation of ash that blocks the flow of air.

Cleanburn

Multi-fuel stoves are excellent because they can burn wood, coal without smoke, and even some minerals. But, it is essential to use a high quality wood or 913875 wood pellet that is properly seasoned and kiln dried to less than 20% moisture content.

When wood is heated, the gases and particles that have accumulated in the wood throughout its lifespan are released. Older fireplaces and wood stoves release a lot of these straight up the chimney, along with the heat, which results in low efficiency and poor air quality in indoor areas. Modern stoves that incorporate Cleanburn technology, on the other hand, effectively burn these gases and particles. This reduces emissions and leads to an efficient combustion as well as significantly lower flue gas temperatures.

Jotul has high goals in terms of climate change, which is the reason we design all of our wood-burning appliances using 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 your firebox walls and 913875 stove glass, particularly when you are using a high moisture content wood or softer fuels like softwood.

Cleanburn wood stoves are essential for anyone who uses firewood as their primary source of heat. They can also be an excellent method to improve air quality in your home. If you live in an area designated as a smoke free zone, switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will help you adhere to the strict regulations of this regulation and can help people suffering from asthma and other respiratory issues.

Our multi fuel stoves equipped with cleanburn technology have secondary air as well as a pre-heated tertiary air system and vermiculite or plain steel stove base to ensure the best combustion. The pre-heated-tertiary air system, which is usually only found on the most expensive stoves, helps prevent ash and smoke from sticking to the glass of the stove and permits more gases to be burned.

Cleanburn from Jotul is an excellent addition to use in conjunction with the preheated tertiary air system to boost the combustion performance of your stove. It will produce an efficient and cleaner flame that is carbon-neutral, and will reduce the amount of soot that build up on the interior wall of the firebox.
