Hello

Do multi-fuel stoves have big clinkers like this one?

It depends on how the stove operates and the fuel being burned as to what if any clinkers happen that have to be manually removed.

I feel deprived! This is the biggest I have ever got with wood pellets. :sad: I got about the same size with corn. Only pebbles with Switchgrass and Timothy grass pellets.

There are a few types of multifuel stoves. Some have a pot stirrer and the others are what we call clinker stoves or stoves with a clinker pot. Last are the Auto cleaners like the Bixby and the Mt Vernon. They form a clinker but self eject it. The agitator/stirrer stoves bust up the clinkers and push them to the ash pan. A stove with a clinker pot or clinker stove you have to wressle the clinker out of it. I have heard most corn burners prefer the clinker type stoves and have even converted the agitator stove to clinker type burnpots. They feel the agitator makes the stove burn dirtier and stirs up the ash and soot.
