Burning Materials

Logs are a great place to start. Dry well-seasoned and clean wood is recommended for the most efficient performance from your stove and prevent dampness and staining of the glass window.

A multi-fuel stove can be used with a variety of different fuels, including peat, logs, and anthracite. Make sure to check with the stove installer to ensure that the stove you're purchasing is compatible for the fuel type you want to use. Some areas of the UK are designated as smoke control zones, where it is unlawful to use wood-burning stoves unless they are fitted with a smokeless fuel burner.

With a multi-fuel stove you can also choose to add extra fuels to your fire to give it more warmth. This can be an excellent option if you don't have the time nor the space to store your own firewood. For instance, adding a few pieces of anthracite, or other smokeless fuels to the flames of your log burner can help to reignite the flames and help keep them going.

It is essential to clean regularly the ash pan and the grate when using a wood stove. This will ensure that your stove is operating at its maximum efficiency.

It is also recommended to burn fuel of high quality that is suitable for your stove. Poor quality wood can produce smokey, unhealthy air and cause damage to your stove. It is also recommended to only burn the wood that is seasoned and not freshly cut or green logs.

You can also buy a multi-fuel fireplace that is designed to operate with a gas supply. These stoves are often referred to as balanced flue stoves and are ideal for new construction properties that have been sealed up and do not have a traditional masonry chimney. They are equipped with twin flue pipes; one of them releases the burned gasses from the stove while the other pulls fresh air in, balancing the outward flow of hot gasses.

Installation

If you're looking for a stove that can be installed in a smaller space you should consider a stove with a heat output of 5kw. This model is less expensive than the larger ones, but can still provide enough heat to most rooms. It's important that you buy an appliance that is the correct size for the space you have. Over-sized stoves can either be too hot, or fail to reach their maximum potential for heat.

A wood stove has to be installed by a registered HETAS installer, to ensure that the work is done to building codes.

The installer will also ensure that there is enough space around the stove to meet the building regulations. The requirements include 150mm clearance on the sides and back of the stove, as well as 225mm of space in front of it. For more information you can refer to the brochure of the manufacturer.

If you are installing a new stove, it will be necessary to install a new chimney breast unless you plan on keeping the opening you have. The cost will vary based on the size and materials of the hearth as well as the amount of work required to construct a chimney. It is important to choose an engineer registered with HETAS to do the work, since this will save you money in the long term.

Safety

If you are planning on installing a multi fuel stove or log burner in your home, it is essential to follow some basic safety precautions. These are essential to ensure the smooth operation of your log burner and that it does not become an fire hazard. For instance, it is an excellent idea to place a fireguard around the stove, particularly if you have children. It is also essential to not operate a stove if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These can cause problems with concentration and coordination and could lead to an accident of a serious nature.

It is important to open the air vents as wide as you can when you start an all-new fire on your multi-fuel stove. This will let as much oxygen to the flames as is possible. This will help the fire catch alight quicker, and will also boost the heat output of the stove. The air vents should be shut after the fire is lit to reduce the flow of oxygen and to prevent the flames from burning through combustible material in the fireplace.

Depending on the fuel you choose to use, you may require adjusting your vents when you are burning. Wood requires constant supply of air to burn efficiently and coal requires less. It is also necessary to control the temperature of the stove, since an operating temperature that is too high can damage it by producing creosote. It is crucial to follow the instructions in the user manual of your stove and keep it within its operating temperature.

Installing a heat shield can help to reduce the clearance needed around your stove. They are readily available at many hardware stores and are usually made of strong galvanised metal for maximum safety. These can be easily installed behind your stove, and reduce the distance between combustible materials and the stove to 150mm on the sides, and the rear and 225mm in the front. This will ensure that your stove is safe to use and comply with the building regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
