Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are made to work with a variety of different materials in addition to logs. Smokeless fuels, turf or peat briquettes as well as anthracite and other materials are all suitable for use. In general, these kinds of materials produce less harmful emissions than logs do. Therefore, a lot of our multi-fuel stoves are fitted with clean-burn technology to reduce the amount of particulate matter that they generate when they burn. Clean burn is also used to describe other specific technologies that decrease emissions, like pre-heated secondary air or Ecodesign Ready.

In addition, a lot of our multi-fuel stoves feature a raised grate with moving bars or a central riddling grates and an asphan beneath it that aids to maintain effective combustion conditions.
