Smokeless
Like the name implies, a multi fuel stove can be used to burn smokeless and wood fuels - unlike stoves that are specifically wood burning that only burn firewood.

Anthracite fuel is a well-known smokeless fuel. It is more durable and compact, and has more carbon. It also burns more efficiently. It is the best choice for the environment as it reduces the amount of pollution that households produce. It can be a little difficult to light, however, because it is much more dense than coal used in homes. It is a good idea, to aid in this, to build small towers of kindling around the anthracite. Additionally, a few firelighters can aid. It is also important to have an grate that is clean, as the ash may build up and stop oxygen from reaching the flames.
A multifuel stove is also a good option for those who want to burn wood and smokeless fuels, since it can be used with a variety of approved fuels, including peat or turf briquettes, anthracite and logs. Multifuel stoves are able to burn these fuels because they have a flat grate that allows air to circulate beneath the flames. This is vital since coal requires a large amount of air to ignite and burn, whereas logs do not require this.
A majority of multifuel stoves come with riddlers, which are a metal sheet that sits on top of the grate. This aids in the removal of ash by allowing the user to dispose of ashes without opening the door of the stove. Certain advanced models of multifuel stoves have a "cleanburn" technology that boosts the combustion air prior to the start of a fire to get it roaring quickly, and then shuts off the primary control, so that the fire is controlled by the secondary control.
