The rising prices of fossil based energy sources like coal and oil, has forced people to search for affordable alternatives to keep their hearth warm. Keeping a fossil or electricity based heating system running, is becoming increasingly more expensive and less affordable. Wood has always been the most popular traditional source of fire, and it is still being looked up on as the most economic and favourite energy source as usage for even short cycles would save you a large amount of money in the long run. Another option is to buy a multifuel stove which keeps you well prepared for any occasion when you might find yourself in a shortage of ordinary mineral fuels or electricity. The multifuel stoves are very handy in times of power failures or when a particular type of fuel turns expensive in the market or becomes scarce.

A multifuel stove will burn a variety of different fuels including smokeless fuel, wood and peat which makes it an ideal choice for British smoke free zones. Wood can be burnt in the multifuel stove as well as the traditional wood burner. There are both wood and multifuel stoves that emit under 1 gram per hour and any stove that emits under 2 grams per hour can be considered very clean. Every manufacturer of multifuel stove is required to list their emissions in grams of smoke per hour and it is the multifuel stoves which are cleaner then the wood burners. The amount of heat produced varies between the wrought iron and the steel fire boxes as a Steel multifuel stove will heat up quicker but cool down faster than the Cast iron multifuel stove, which will take longer to heat up but will retain the heat longer than a steel firebox, after the fire has gone out.

The glass door is a great contemporary touch, giving an amazing view of the fire. An air control system ensure that the styling remains clean and simple on the Olymberyl Paladin 7 kW Multi Fuel stove’s secondary burn system, which ensures cleaner and more efficient combustion of the solid fuel emissions thereby reducing its carbon footprint on the environment. The insulated fire box ensures that the temperature is maintained at a level sufficiently hot enough for the combustion of gases and particles that might have escaped from the initial burn which inturn reduces emissions and increasing efficiency and heat distribution of the stove. This multifuel stove complies with European, North American and Australian / New Zealand standards for emission and has Over Night Burn Facility so that you need not wake up in the middle of the night to reignite.
