Clean Burning Technology
Multi fuel stoves are an excellent choice for homeowners who would like to use a wood-burning stove but don't have the space for log storage. These stoves can be loaded with either logs or manufactured fuel like coal and peat Briquettes. They are typically capable of combusting both of these fuel types more efficiently than traditional log burners. This is largely due to the design of multi fuel stoves is optimized to be able to burn a wide range of different fuels.
The raised grate on stoves designed to burn various fuels is generally designed to allow air circulation underneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels such as peat and turf briquettes need plenty of air under them to ignite and burn correctly. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow that can be opened or shut depending on the type of fuel. This can help keep the fire going by supplying a second supply of air to the stove, and will increase the efficiency of combustion.
The primary and secondary airflow systems within a fireplace can be used to regulate the flame's height and temperature. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates and

You should also remove the ash from your stove regularly, and store it in a bucket or ash pan. This will prevent the accumulation of ash too high on the stove's grates and will prevent your fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, you will need to clean the stove glass regularly.

An alternative to a conventional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove which uses biomass pellets or compressed wood to provide a very efficient fire that has a high level of heat output. The pellets are made of leftover materials like sawdust and other rejected wood products so this makes it a green choice. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, which means they can be used for cooking too. The standard 6" (150mm) stove, however still compatible with a 5 1/2" (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is an advantage when it can be difficult to install a standard 6" (150mm) stove or the chimney stack has awkward bends in it.
Energy Efficiency
The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace generates heat that is dispersed to the room. It does this via radiation, where the hot surface of the stove reflects heat back into the room or through convection, where it draws cold air from outside, then heats it up, and then redirects it back to the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed for the highest efficiency, and use secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and to burn fuel efficiently.
Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel stove is a great example. It is approved by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. The large square window provides stunning views of the flame, and the fact that it is wider than normal means that it will fit in a larger chimney opening.
