If you find pellets on sale at a great price, you can use that fuel but if the price goes up, you can change to corn or biomass.
A key to using multi fuel burners is to obtain quality fuels which burn extremely efficiently so that there will be little maintenance required to remove ash and debris from the fire pit. There will be little smoke, ash or soot going up the exhaust outlet as well, reducing the time between periodic cleaning of buildup which, if not performed, can result in a fire hazard.
The efficiency of multi fuel appliances will amaze you. When using a traditional fireplace, a large percentage of the heat goes right up the chimney, costing you money in fuel. Even with fireplace enclosures or inserts to help keep the traditional fireplace burn more efficiently, there is still a substantial loss of heat and there is always a lot of charcoal and unburned material to remove after use. Multi fuel burners are designed so that almost every gram of fuel is consumed and the heat generated goes into the home rather up the chimney or exhaust pipe.
Available in a huge range of designs, you’ll find the perfect multi fuel stove for your home. The elegance, safety, and practicality of a multi fuel appliance is an investment which will really pay for itself.
