Versatility
Many people buy multi fuel stoves for sale because they want the versatility of being able to burn a variety of different types of solid fuel. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to minimize emissions regardless of the fuel type you're burning.

Multifuel stoves are available in a broad range of styles to suit your home from contemporary to traditional. They can be installed in rooms that have or do not have a chimney and come in a variety of outputs based on the heating requirements. For instance, if live in a small cottage or glamping pod you may only require a multifuel stove that has 5-6kW of average heat output. If you live in a huge area with lots of glass or insulation it is recommended to get a multifuel stove more powerful, such as the Portway or Woodford Didsbury 5. Arundel Multifuel.
Most multifuel stoves come with a grate, which helps the burning of the fuel more efficiently. Some models have removable grates that enable you to change fuel types and clean the stove.

Smokeless
Multi fuel stoves can burn wood and smokeless fuels, unlike wood burning stoves that can only burn wood for fire.

Anthracite is a very popular type of smokeless fuel. It is stronger and more compact, and also has a higher carbon content. It also burns more efficiently. It is the best choice for the environment because it helps reduce the amount of pollution that households produce. It can be a little difficult to light, however, since it is much more dense than the coal used in houses. It is a good idea to aid in this to build a small kindling tower around the anthracite. Additionally, firelighters can help. It is also important to make sure you use an grate that is clean, as ash can build up and stop oxygen from getting to the flames.
Multi fuel stoves are an excellent choice for those who wish to burn wood and smokeless fuels. They can be used with a variety of fuels, including turf or peat anthracite, logs, and peat. Multifuel stoves are generally designed to use these kinds of fuels by equipping them with an open grate that allows air to circulate beneath the flames. This is essential since coal requires a large amount of air to ignite and burn, while logs don't require this.
Many multifuel stoves also feature a riddler which is a metal plate that sits on top of the grate. This helps with ash removal by allowing the user to dispose of ashes without opening the door of the stove. Some of the more sophisticated models of multifuel stoves also include a 'cleanburn' feature that boosts the combustion air supply at the beginning of a fire to start the fire quickly, and then closes off the primary air control to allow the fire to be controlled solely by using the secondary air control.
