These stoves can be filled with wood or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal. These stoves are generally capable of combusting both these types of fuel more effectively than traditional log burners. This is due to the fact that multi-fuel stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels.

The grate of a stove that is raised designed to burn different fuels is typically designed to allow air circulation beneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes require plenty of air under them to ignite and burn effectively. The majority of multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow that can be shut or opened according to the type of fuel. This can help keep the fire burning by supplying a larger amount of air to the stove, Www.349338.xyz and will also increase the efficiency of combustion.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove produces heat that the stove then distributes to the room.
