Wood-Burning vs Multi-Fuel Stoves

When considering a new stove installation, one of the primary decisions you'll face is choosing between wood-burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves. Each option has its own advantages and considerations, making it essential that you weigh up your preferences and your lifestyle needs carefully. Our wood-burning stoves, as their name suggests, are designed to burn wood only. They offer rustic charm and are ideal if you can access a sustainable wood supply.

However, in smoke-controlled areas of Eastbourne, wood-burning stoves may have strict regulations pertaining to their use due to emissions control.

On the other hand, multi-fuel stoves provide greater flexibility in situations like these and allow you to burn a variety of fuels including wood, bituminous coal and smokeless fuels. This versatility can be particularly advantageous for residents in smoke-controlled areas. It offers more options for complying with local regulations while still enjoying the warmth and ambiance of a stove.

HETAS engineers and accredited stove installers can advise you on your best options, including information about wood-burning stoves with DEFRA approval which might be suitable for those living in smoke-controlled areas. A chimney sweep will also be able to advise on how well a fuel choice works with a stove when coming out to provide annual cleaning and maintenance.

Fuel Choices in Smoke-Controlled Areas of Eastbourne

Living in Eastbourne, which has a sizeable number of smoke-controlled areas, means you need to be more mindful of the fuels you burn in your stove. While traditional wood is a popular choice for its natural appeal and affordability, it is essential to consider smokeless alternatives to minimise emissions, and to ensure compliancy with local regulations. A specialist in multi-fuel and wood-burning stove supplies, and multi-fuel and wood-burning stove installations, will provide the best standards of care before and after fitting an appliance.

Smokeless fuels, such as anthracite and manufactured smokeless briquettes, produce less smoke and particulate matter compared to traditional wood. By opting for smokeless fuels, homeowners in Eastbourne can reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying the benefits of a cosy stove.

Multi-fuel stoves are a better choice than wood-burning stoves if you plan to burn anthracite, or smokeless peat or turf briquettes.
