Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved The DEFRA approved wood burning and multi-fuel stoves, also known as Defra Smoke Exempt stoves, have passed rigorous emissions tests.

A stunning contemporary styled stove from ACR that is EcoDesign 2022 ready and has DEFRA approval allowing use in a smoke controlled zone. Defra Approved If you reside in the Smoke Control Area in the UK and wish to burn wood in your stove, you'll need a DEFRA approved or Defra exempt appliance. DEFRA is the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and it is the government department that prohibits the release of smoke into cities and towns where it could create an issue for residents. These appliances have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that particulate emissions are drastically reduced, and they are capable of passing the rigorous Defra smoke tests. The Defra logo, also known as the DEFRA exemption logo is widely recognized and is widely used by the industry. You'll often find it engraved or printed on the stove, however sometimes the wording is printed on the specification sheet. You will also find models that are DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt. This means that they can be used with wood and solid fuels. A wood-burning stove which is approved by Defra has undergone extensive testing to determine how much particulate matter it generates. It will be able comply with the Clean Air Act by supplying a minimum level of combustion air to the fuel, so that it burns effectively without generating excessive smoke. These stoves are typically more eco-friendly than stoves that are not Defra-approved and can help you reduce your heating costs too. Defra approve wood-burning stoves are advantageous for those living in a Smoke Control Area of the UK. defra stove could be fined a lot in the event that you use a non Defra approved wood burning stove in a Smoke Control Area. A Defra approved stove will be more friendly to neighbors since it doesn't emit any nuisance smoke and will typically mean that your chimney and flue system will stay cleaner for longer too. A DEFRA-approved wood burning stove allows you to use an appliance with 5kW that is fitted with a stainless steel flexible twin wall liner. (Provided the manufacturer doesn't insist on an increased size). It is worth considering this option if trying to save money by not needing to purchase a new chimney. Defra Exempt If you reside in an area where smoking is prohibited and you want to smoke, a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance is essential. The stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that they produce minimal emissions which reduces the particulate matter (PM10) within your home. DEFRA approved stoves are marked with a Defra Approved or a DEFRA Exempt logo. Stoves that have this logo have been tested independently to ensure they are compliant with strict smoke control regulations, allowing you to burn wood and approved smokeless fuels. It is crucial to note that you cannot use Defra Exempt stoves to burn dry wood in Smoke Control Zone as this will produce a nuisance smoke. It is also not permitted to use non-Defra approved multi fuel stoves unless they are located in Smoke Control Area because this could create PM10 in your house and could result in an expensive fine from your local council. Defra approved multi fuel stoves are designed to burn approved wood and smokeless coal cleanly without producing nuisance smoke. They accomplish this using the latest combustion technology which doesn't restrict airflow to the firebox, a process called sleeping. When stoves are left to slumber over night, they often release excessive black smoke that is not healthy for your chimney, your stove or your health. A good example of a premium Defra Exempt multi fuel stove is the Stovax Vogue small. The popular wood-burning stove is extremely efficient, with a maximum heat output of 5kW and features an integrated log store base, making it ideal for fitting into fireplaces with larger openings. Another DEFRA Approved multi wood burner is the ACR Earlswood LS. The Earlswood is another multi-fuel stove that has passed an extensive series of tests to ensure that it is in compliance with the strict standards set by DEFRA for particulate emissions. It can be used in areas with smoke control and burns a variety of wood and smokeless fuels. A multi-fuel stove which is DEFRA Exempt can be an inexpensive option for a new chimney lining. Due to the fact that they all have five” chimney outlet, you can use an stainless twin wall 125mm in diameter flexible liner instead of the standard 6” (150mm). This is particularly cost-effective if there isn't enough room to accommodate a larger liner. It could also be beneficial if the chimney stack has a curly bend which make it difficult to install a 6” chimney liner. Smoke Control Areas Many areas in the UK are designated as Smoke Control Areas. This means that if your home has an open fire, wood burning stove or fireplace, you are permitted to only use fuels that have been approved by the UK government. This law was passed to stop smoke from affecting neighbouring properties, and to keep the environment free of pollutants. It does not prohibit the use of appliances that are solid fuel or stoves that meet certain requirements. DEFRA approved stoves (also known as Defra-exempted stoves) are a great option for those who reside in a smoke-free area. They've been specifically tested and meet these requirements. A Defra approved multi fuel stove is typically capable of burning all authorised fuels including wood, without producing excessive amounts of smoke. The combustion technology in the stove that is Defra-approved is designed to limit the amount of air the stove is devoid of during the combustion process. Usually, this is accomplished through making use of special baffles inside the stove that redirect airflow and stop it from exiting the stove. The best DEFRA approved stoves will also feature”clean burn” features which allows the combustion of combustibles that have been partially burned such as soot and ash and allows them to be discharged from the chimney instead of into the room. This prevents part-burnt combustibles from re-entering the stove and causing a build-up which could eventually cause black smoke. If you have an appliance that is exempt from Defra, you must only burn the types of fuels listed in the Clean Air Act. This is especially true when you are burning damp wood or another wet fuels which can produce fumes that are noxious. You should check with your supplier or the stove manufacturer's manual to determine which types of fuels can be burned in your particular stove. Gr8Fires have a selection of DEFRA exempt stoves that can be used in smoke-free areas. For example the Dimplex Langbrook is a stylish wood-burning stove that is Defra exempt and can run on various fuels that are authorised. This model is available in different heat outputs, and comes in a range of colors, including a contemporary matt black finish. Heat Output If you see the Defra approved logo on a stove, it indicates that it is safe for use in a smoke control zone for burning wood and other fuels that are permitted. The Defra certification process is strict testing and examination to ensure that the stove is in compliance with the Department of Environment requirements for low emissions. These features will increase the efficiency of your stove in heating your home, and will assist you to reduce your carbon footprint. There is a variety of Defra approved multi fuel stoves that are available, from small 4kW models up to 5kW models.

Using a stove too big for the space can cause overheating and lead to an unnecessary expenditure on fuel. When selecting a multi-fuel or wood-burning stove, it is crucial to seek out expert advice. You should also check that the stove is compatible with Ecodesign 2020 regulations. These regulations aim to increase the efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves burn fuel more efficiently and produce less CO2 and other pollutants. They are also easier to clean since they produce less tar and soot than other stoves. Most Defra approved multi fuel stoves feature air controls, which can be adjusted to regulate the amount of fuel burned. Most of these models come with a grate and an ash pan to facilitate the efficient combustion of charcoal that is smokeless. The ash pan collects the ashes from the firebox and stops them from affecting the airflow to the combustion chamber.
