Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are a great choice for those who live in smoke-controlled areas. They burn wood as well as authorised smokeless fuels efficiently and are available in a wide variety of styles to meet all tastes.

The Defra logo is usually visible on the appliance or in the specification to indicate that it is suitable for Smoke Control Areas. They also come with a high energy rating and low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

A majority of the wood-burning stoves that we sell are Defra approved, which means they are able to meet the strictest standards for emissions when they are used with wood and other approved fuels. The stoves have been independently tested and are built to burn a variety of fuels. A stove that is approved by Defra will have features like secondary and tertiary burns which can maximize the amount of energy used and reduce harmful gasses.

The Defra approved stoves often feature an 'SE' logo (which is a distinct sign for smoke exempt) or SE after their name. This signifies that the stove has been independently tested and is able to be employed in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing process will include a series of tests to assess the stove's performance under various conditions, and to ensure that the stove produces a minimum of 5 grams of particulates per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet this standard, Defra approved stoves come with a modified top air control that prevents users from closing it completely. If you close the top air vent too tightly will limit the supply of oxygen to the fire, and this can cause it to smolder instead of burning. If you did this with a non-Defra approved stove, you'd be in breach of the law and could be prosecuted for nuisance smoke offences.

The best way to avoid nuisance smoke when using a wood stove is to purchase kiln dried or seasoned wood. The wood has been dried over many years and reduces the moisture content to below 20 percent. A simple wood moisture meter can be used to determine the moisture content of your wood.

You can also lessen the amount of smoke generated by your Defra approved stove by only using dry, well-seasoned, kiln-dried, or spruce logs. It is not recommended to burn damp, wet or unseasoned wood. This will cause a lot more smoke and could result in you being penalized by the local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are designed to meet strict air quality standards that are laid out by the government. They can be powered by different fuels that include wood, as well as certain approved smokeless materials in Smoke Control Areas.

The smoke from burning untreated wood or other wet fuels in a stove that is not DEFRA approved or exempt from DEFRA will cause a lot of irritation to your neighbors. This could also impact local air quality when you live in a city. You could be fined or prosecuted for burning unapproved fuels in the Smoke Control Area or use an appliance that was not designed to work with smokeless fuels.

Defra approved stoves are built with secondary and tertiary combustion methods that allow fuel to be burned at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is accomplished through stainless steel liners, and a convection system which forces air to the chimney, even after the fire has been extinguished. This lets the stoves burn wood more efficiently and create less carbon dioxide.

A Defra Approved Stove also features an adjustment for the top vent that prevents it from being closed completely. If you cut off the air supply, the stove will stop burning properly, it will smoulder and start to produce smoke. Defra approved stoves allow you to close the vent a little but not completely so that the fire continues to burn at a lower temperature and still conform to UK legislation.

When selecting a new stove that is Defra-approved it is essential to consider the style and design and whether it is compatible with the interior decor of your home. There are a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, from traditional fireplace chambers and inglenooks to more modern designs that look great in open living spaces.

Most Defra-approved stoves have an outlet for a chimney of 5kW, allowing them to be used in Smoke Control Areas. This is the case for most UK towns and cities. This will also help save you money on your installation costs, as the stove will require a 5" flue liner instead of a more costly 6" liner.

It is also important to ensure that the stove's clearance to combustible materials meets local requirements. Review the instructions of the manufacturer to determine how far you have to keep combustibles such as curtains, walls and furniture from your stove.
