Multifuel stove
A multifuel stove is very similar to a wood burner in construction. The main difference between the two is raised grate or grate bars and an ashpan located underneath in a multifuel stove. The raised grate or bars allows a stream of air to circulate underneath the fuel bed allowing complete combustion of the smokeless fuel. Because wood burns best in its own ashes, a wood burner will be an open box lined with firebricks, so a bucket & spade will be required when emptying.
When choosing between a Multi-Fuel Stove and a woodburning stove, consider your choice of fuel as smokeless fuels are manufactured of consistent quality and are available all year round. Where as good seasoned dry quality wood in some areas can be very seasonal – if you may run out of seasoned, dry hardwood before the end of the heating season, a multi-fuel stove gives you the opportunity of burning a combination. You can only burn wood in a wood burner.
