 Multifuel
Questions and Answers |
 |
|
|
| Does
it need a chimney? |
 |

Yes. All multifuel stoves need a method
of removing the by-products of combustion i.e. smoke. The chimney
also assists with combustion by drawing oxygen into the fire. |

Efel stoves are multifuel. This means they can burn approved smokeless
coal, seasoned wood, peat and wood briquets. |

output will heat:-

15 m3 Average insulated area
25 m3 Good insulated area

|
| How
efficient is it? |
|
| |
The Nestor Martin and Efel ranges of
multifuel stoves are industry leaders in their levels of efficiency.
Efficiency is very important as the higher the level the more heat
is returned to you the user rather than passing up the chimney.
For each 1lb of wood on average over 80% is returned to the room
of installation. As an example for each 10lb of wood burned 8lb
is returned to you in heat. Many stoves sold on the UK market have
very low efficiency levels. If a stove has an efficiency of 45%
only 4.5lb of heat is returned to the room for each 10lb of wood
burnt. To achieve the same heat out put as a stove offered by Euroheat
an extra 8lb of wood will need to be burnt. |

| How
much space do you need around the stove? |

|
|
How do you control the burning rate? |
|
| |
Each stove has a control system to regulate
the amount of air entering the fire. Depending on the model this
can be either manually controlled or by remote control. |

many hours. |
|
| Has

normal firebricks. |
