Anyone who lives in an area where smoke control is enforced must use a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure they do not emit any smoke. They also pass strict emission tests and satisfy requirements of the government under the Clean Air Act. Unlike standard wood burning stoves or multi fuel stoves, DEFRA approved appliances have been manufactured and designed to burn wood efficiently, ensuring that there is no smoke.

A multi fuel stove is a fantastic alternative for homeowners who wish to utilize a wood-burning stove but don't have enough area to store logs. These stoves are able to be filled with wood or manufactured fuels such as coal and peat. These stoves can usually burn both types of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves have been made to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves that are designed to burn a variety of fuels generally feature a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate beneath the fuel. This is because some fuels, such as peat briquettes and turf briquettes, require a huge amount of air to ignite and burn. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow that can be opened or shut according to the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire going, by providing an additional supply air into the stove. It also increases the combustion efficiency.

The primary and secondary airflow systems inside the fireplace can be used to adjust the flame's height and temperature. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different quantities of heat. By keeping the flame size and temperature in check you can ensure that your stove runs at its most efficient level while producing the highest amount of heat.

Energy Efficiency

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