Your multi-fuel stove gives you the choice to power your fire with a whole host of fuel sources. This flexibility shouldn’t be underestimated.
And what better way to make the most of your multi-fuel stove than smokeless fuel - but which form is the best?
This article will look at the different types of smokeless fuel out there, presenting your options for an informed decision.
The best smokeless fuels for a multi-fuel stove
Firstly, it’s important to point out that you shouldn’t use any fuel source that produces smoke indoors unless you have some sort of ventilation system. There are too many pollutants that are harmful to people for this to be a consideration.
Burning wood in your multi-fuel stove can produce a great flame for a long time - there’s nothing quite like the sight of a log fire. Just make sure that, when selecting your wood, it has a moisture content below 20%; this ensures that it has been seasoned properly, possibly by kiln-drying, for performance and safety.
Better still, you can purchase your smokeless fuel in bulk. The beauty of purchasing in this fashion is that you save a huge sum of money on fuel you’d need to purchase anyway, plus it saves you the hassle of ordering every time you require briquettes.
Ready-to-burn kiln-dried logs provide outstanding heat for all to enjoy around your multi-fuel stove. A roaring log fire is a sight to behold, thus making it a preferable choice for many.
Why smokeless coal is a great choice
Similarly, with coal, you don’t want it to produce any smoke, if possible. You won’t need to sacrifice quality for safety, or vice versa; with HouseFuel, you get both. Our range of smokeless briquettes makes lighting and sustaining your fire straightforward.
Typically, coals made of anthracite tend to produce less smoke than bituminous coal, for example. Less smoke means that the fire you’re burning will be more efficient and last much longer. Your multi-fuel stove should remain cleaner too thanks to less creosote being present in smokeless fuels than the more traditional forms.
Smoke Control Areas mean those who it concerns needs to remain aware of the fuel they use and how they use it. Fines can be issued for those breaking local restrictions on smoke pollution, so remain cautious and choose smokeless fuels if these restrictions apply to you.
Although multi-fuel stoves can operate with either coal or wood, you shouldn’t use these fuel sources together. They burn differently so it might not be as easy to maintain your fire if you do this, not to mention the design or your stove likely wasn’t built for this purpose.
Stay within the rules, keep in control of your fire with our smokeless coal and experience the longevity it offers. Find out all there is to know about multi-fuel stoves and their
