These stoves can be loaded with either logs or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal briquettes. These stoves can usually burn both kinds of fuels more effectively than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a range of fuels.
The grate of a stove that is raised designed to burn different fuels is generally designed to allow air circulation beneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels like peat and turf briquettes require a lot of air underneath for them to be ignited and burn effectively. The majority of 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 supplying a second supply of air to the stove and can increase the efficiency of combustion.
The primary and secondary airflow systems in the fireplace can be used to regulate flame height and temperature. This is crucial as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat.
