Multi-fuel stoves burn both wood and coal or other solid fuel
(but not both at the same time) for the greatest efficiency.
Multi-fuel stoves have two functional positons for the base of the
stove. One lets air through from beneath for coal and similar. The
second, closed postion, is for wood because the flame burns on the
surface of the fuel.
Multifuel stoves utilize the latest in burning technology to
burn two commercially available solid fuels, smokeless coal and dry
seasoned wood, efficiently and cleanly. The multifuel stove gives
you the freedom to choose your preferred fuel and the versatility
to switch to another fuel if necessary. Your heating needs may also
change from day to day, you might want to use smokeless coal for
long, unattended burning simply for heating and use wood for those
dark winter afternoons when the visual interest of the burning logs
is almost as important as the heat itself. Multifuel stoves are as
efficient at burning either type of fuel, leaving you free to enjoy
the warmth and marvel at how little fuel you actually need in order
to run your stove.
Anthracite - a solid mineral fuel for burning
Everyone warms to the cosy glow and flickering flames that only
a real fire can offer and, while you're enjoying the experience,
you can consider all the other advantages that solid fuel heating
brings.
Low running costs - Solid fuel is an efficient and economical
method of heating your home 24 hours a day.
The healthy option - Solid fuel heating can greatly reduce
condensation, eliminating household mould often associated with
'on/off' fires. Medical research has also shown that solid fuel
heating can reduce the risk of hay fever, asthma and eczema.
Guaranteed heat - With solid fuel heating you can hold stock,
ensuring that your home will be warm even in the most adverse
weather conditions. Whatever the weather, you don't need to worry
about supply failures or power cuts. You can even boil a kettle on
a flat-top stove.
Homes with solid fuel heating are better ventilated than those
with other forms of heating; the very use of a chimney will induce
ventilation into a home drawing in fresh air and removing the
'polluted' air.
The Right Fuel - Choosing the right fuel for your heating
appliance ensures excellent performance and economic usage.
Room heaters, Cookers and Boilers - Closed appliances (except
gravity feed types) burn a wide variety of manufactured smokeless
fuels and Anthracite large nuts. These are smaller than open fire
fuels and give a denser fire-bed and a more efficient performance,
multi-fuel appliances can burn open fire smokeless fuels. 'Coal'
which has a high volatile content and is usually referred to as
'bituminous' or house' is unsuitable. Even the correct fuels need
to be burnt correctly. When burning smokeless fuel on your stove
air comes in from the bottom grate and ash from spent coal collects
as a layer on the grate restricting the air supply until the grate
is riddled. Therefore it is common practice to riddle and apply
more fuel as one operation but always riddle first!
Smoke Control Areas.
If you live in a Smoke Control Area certain stoves have been
approved for those areas, please call and ask one of our members of
staff for further information. If you don't live in a Smoke Control
Area you can also burn smokeless fuels or wood. Contact your local
Environmental Health Department for more information about Smoke
Control Areas.
