Multi-fuel stoves can be used with a variety of different materials including logs. Turf, smokeless fuels, peat briquettes, anthracite, and other materials can be used. These materials emit less harmful emissions in general than logs. Many of our multifuel stoves have clean burn technology that reduces the amount of particulate matter generated during combustion. The term "clean burn" is also used to refer to other specific technologies that reduce emissions, like pre-heated tertiary air or Ecodesign Ready.

Many of our multifuel stoves also feature a raised grate, or a central grate that is riddling with asphan underneath it. This allows for the optimal combustion conditions. This ensures that the process of combustion produces minimal black smoke during operation. It also permits the removal of the ash from below the stove which can then be contained inside the asphan below for safe disposal.

DEFRA approved stoves have an adjustment on the top vent to prevent it from closing all the way. This helps to prevent starving your stove of oxygen which would hinder its burning and cause it to smoulder. The more smouldering happens the more smoke is produced and the less efficiently your stove will burn. You should also only ever use dry seasoned hardwood, and only authorised smokeless fuels in the DEFRA approved stove.
