What is a Stove Defra? Stove defra is a word that is a reference to a wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove that has been pre-approved for use in smoke-controlled areas. This is a requirement in some UK cities and towns. They provide the smallest amount of combustion air, thus producing almost no smoke. These stoves come in a wide variety of styles and designs that match your home's aesthetic. Clean Burning In the past, homeowners and businesses were able to burn any type of fuel they wanted, which led to a large amount of smoke emitted into the air. This led to a lot of health problems for people who lived and worked in the affected areas. In the UK several towns and cities have been designated as Smoke Control Areas (or Smokeless Zones) and it is prohibited to burn wood without a DEFRA-approved or SE-approved stove. These DEFRA stoves are manufactured and designed according to specific laws for use within these zones. They typically feature air vents that can't be completely closed, which helps keep the stove from being starved of oxygen during the process of combustion. This helps reduce the amount of particulate matter that is released into the air. They also have advanced methods of combustion like secondary and even tertiary burning which reduces emissions. Stoves that are Defra approved can also be used to burn other kinds of fuel such as anthracite, which means that they offer you more options for heating your home. However should you reside in a Smoke Control Area, it is highly recommended that you only burn dry, “ready to burn” wood logs in your stove. This will not only decrease the amount of air pollution produced, but also keep your chimney and flue cleaner for longer.

We have a range of stoves to fit every budget, whether you're searching for a Defra-approved 5kW stove or a more powerful model with an 8kW. Recent headlines have been spreading fear about the impact of stoves on air quality. Some of these reports have inaccurately mixed the emissions from modern stoves with older stoves, open fires, and other types of domestic fuels and equipment. Modern stoves, like ones that are Defra-approved, or Ecodesign are less polluting than any other heating method. They also play a crucial part in keeping indoor air clean. Low Emissions There are many common misconceptions around the wood stoves and their relationship to air pollution. Wood burning stoves are not responsible for a large percentage of UK small particles of particulate matter. This is a well-known myth. In fact, domestic combustion of solid fuels and wood accounts for less than one third of the PM.2.5 in Britain. The government used inaccurate data in its study to estimate wood stoves' contribution. However, recent research conducted by SIA and others suggests that the number is closer to 13 percent. If you reside in an area under smoke control, it is crucial to use a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. These appliances have been tested to ensure they meet emission standards that reduce pollution to the air. The Defra exempted stove logo has been widely adopted in the industry. If you see it on a stove, or in its specifications or name you can be certain that it offers very low emissions and that it is suitable for use in a smoke-free area. A DEFRA approved stove also complies with the EU Ecodesign regulations that will be in force in 2022. These new rules will significantly reduce the amount of smoke a stove produces during the combustion process. These new guidelines are causing a lot of Defra exempt appliances to be made. The SIA recommends installing an Ecodesign Ready appliance rather than one that is a Defra Exempt one, as the particulate emission limit for Ecodesign Ready appliances is 55 percent less. DEFRA approved stoves can cut down on emissions and save you money on heating costs. They are designed to burn wood, coal and other solid fuels efficiently, generating maximum heat while eliminating waste. This efficiency also helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is generated by the combustion, so you're helping combat climate change and contributing to a greener future by choosing the wood stove. Smoke Control Areas Suitable If you reside in a zone of smoke control it is essential to make use of a DEFRA approved stove or risk fines. These stoves are made for smokeless fuels, which produce very little particulates and other harmful gases. They are also more efficient than standard stoves and they can help you save money on heating bills. Defra stoves are available in various styles, so you can find the ideal fit for your home. A DEFRA approved (smoke-exempt) stove is also known as an SE stove. It permits you to burn fuels that are normally prohibited in smoke control zones. These include logs, briquettes, smokeless coal and other easily obtainable smokeless fuels. DEFRA approved stoves do not disqualify you from other regulations imposed by your local authority. It is nevertheless essential to follow all regulations in the area. The stoves that are Defra-approved have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they are safe and safe to use. They usually have secondary and tertiary systems to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. The huge firebox allows you to burn more fuel at the same time. These features make them a great choice for homes located in smoke-free areas. It is also essential to ensure that your stove is in good condition to ensure it's efficient and safe. This includes cleaning it regularly and ensuring that the chimney is free from obstructions. Regular maintenance of your stove can help reduce the chances of fire hazards and also prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. If you use only approved fuels and have an insulated 6-inch liner, it is possible to use a Defra Multifuel stove could be used to control smoke in areas.
