The majority of multi fuel stoves have a secondary air flow which can be opened or closed depending on the type of fuel you are using. This will help keep the fire going, by supplying additional air into the stove. It can also improve the combustion efficiency.

The primary and secondary air flow systems inside the stove can be used to alter the flame's height and temperature of the fire.

This is a great option when it's hard to install a 6" (150mm), or if the chimney stack has a few odd bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace generates heat, which is later transferred to the room. This is accomplished either through radiation, where the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflect heat back into the room or convection, which draws in cold air from outside, warms it up and then directs it into the room. The majority of modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output using secondary and tertiary air supplies to minimise emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as it can.
