Therefore, a lot of our multi-fuel stoves are equipped with clean burn technology in order to reduce the amount of particulate matter they generate during combustion. The term "clean burn" can also refer to other technologies that help reduce emissions, such as preheated secondary or Ecodesign Ready.

Many of our multifuel stoves also feature a raised grate, or a central grate that is riddling with asphan underneath it. This ensures optimal combustion conditions.
