Many Stovax multi-fuel stoves incorporate ‘AMS’ (Ash Management Solution) to facilitate removal of redundant ashes in a quicker and cleaner manner from an external ashpan. They also incorporate a primary air inlet which introduces air from beneath the grate. Both these features facilitate efficient combustion in multi-fuel stoves.

The heat output of a multi-fuel appliance will be similar, if not identical to that of a wood burning stove – and both types are highly efficient. Many also have Airwash and Cleanburn as standard and, as with a wood burning stove, the introduction of innovative functions and technologies has meant that running an appliance is easier and more cost effective so you can derive greater pleasure from the many benefits and ambience it will give you in abundance.

So, you may well be asking yourself: why should I choose multi-fuel over wood burning? The main advantage is one of convenience: as a multi-fuel stove can burn a range of approved fuels, you will be able to choose from a greater number of suppliers and therefore select the nearest. This will help to reduce not only the amount you spend on fuel but also the time and money you will need to transport it to your home.

Whichever you choose however, it is worth making note that some dedicated wood burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves can be fitted with a kit to enable the combustion of all types of solid fuel, thereby giving you the best of both worlds in terms of fuel availability. These are clearly defined in our brochures and our online product pages. It is also worth bearing in mind the visual differences between multi-fuel and wood burning stoves; for further information consult your local retailer for experienced advice and guidance
