Clean Burning

Defra approved stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests in order to ensure that they generate low emissions. This allows you to legally burn smokeless fuels in a smoke-free zone. Many of these stoves are also HETAS approved and come with a clearSkies certification rating which means they comply with the strictest emission regulations.

These stoves have been designed with Clean Burn Technology to ensure that the wood is not removed from oxygen, which would cause it to smolder or emit black smoke. This permits the stove to maintain a constant low level of combustion until all the fuel has been used up. You'll often find that a defra exempt stove comes with a secondary airflow system to ensure that briquettes that are part-burnt and other solid fuel are burned in a controlled way which reduces harmful gases and particulates.

Low Emission Vehicles

One of the key areas that they oversee is smoke control, which bans the emission of dark smoke from chimneys in urban areas (apart from certain exemptions).

If you reside in an area which is smoke-free or a large city in which smoke is controlled, you'll need a DEFRA-approved stove that can burn wood or other solid fuels, and avoid annoying your neighbours.

DEFRA multifuel stoves are more efficient and conform to environmental standards than open fires or wood burners. This means that you can heat a room faster and release less harmful gases into the air, reducing carbon footprint.

When you are looking for a multifuel or wood-burning stove, be sure to look for the DEFRA approved logo. It is usually displayed on the stove's specifications or name and is usually followed by a "SE" that stands for Smoke Exempt. If you spot it then you know that the stove has passed DEFRA's rigorous tests and is able to be burned in a smoke-control room with fuels that are approved.

Many people believe that a DEFRA approved multi fuel stove will only work with smokeless fuels that are approved, such as briquettes and firelogs. However, this is not entirely true. As long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions and only burn approved fuels, you are able to burn any solid fuel on an approved DEFRA stove, including wood that is seasoned.

To get the best results from your DEFRA multifuel stove, you need to ensure that you only use dry, seasoned wood with a moisture content below 20 percent. Using wet wood will create excessive smoke and could void your warranty. Mineral fuels with a sulphur level below 2% should also be avoided in order to avoid dense deposits of ash.

Versatility

There is a wide selection of styles available with designs ranging from traditional that will fit perfectly into an existing fireplace or inglenook to modern stoves that are perfect for homes without a pre-installed fire surround.

Defra approved stoves employ the most advanced combustion technology to cleanly burn wood and other approved solid fuels. This is achieved by delivering the correct amount of air into the firebox, which prevents fuel from being starved for oxygen. This stops combustibles that have not been fully burned, such as soot and ash from being blown up the chimney into the room. This means you're far less likely to have blocked chimneys, and that's good news for the environment as well.
