This is due to the fact that multi-fuel stoves are designed to burn a range of fuels.

Stoves built to burn a variety fuels generally feature a raised grate that is designed to let air circulate underneath the fuel. This is because some fuels, such as peat briquettes and turf Briquettes, require a significant amount of air to ignite and burn. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow that can be opened or shut depending on the fuel type. This can help keep the fire going by supplying a second supply of air into the stove, and will also increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems inside the fireplace can be used to adjust the height of the flame and also the temperature. This is crucial as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and produce a different amount of heat. Making sure you keep the flame's height and temperature in check will ensure your stove is running as efficiently as possible and producing the maximum amount of heat from its fuel.
