Smoke Control Areas

Smoke from open fires and stoves can cause air pollution in the UK particularly in urban areas. This has led to the establishment of Smoke Control Areas where only certain types of fuels and home fire appliances are allowed to be employed. These are strictly regulated under the Clean Air Act to reduce environmental pollution. If you live in a Smoke-Control Area It is crucial to use only wood burning stoves or log burners that are approved by Defra. This will ensure that you are using legal fuels and aren't creating smoke that disturbs your neighbors.

Stovax stoves are DEFRA approved and a large number models have secondary and tertiary systems in order to help burn logs efficiently. This can reduce emissions. This lets you have a gorgeous fire, but also produce less smoke.

A Defra approved appliance, or to use its full name, a "Smoke Exempt Appliance" It is tested and has been approved by the UK Government DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) regulations regarding smoke levels within Smoke Control Areas. This ensures that the stove only produces a small amount smoke when it is in operation. It also means that you can legally burn certain kinds of wood in your stove, provided it is'ready to burn' with moisture content less than 20%. You cannot burn damp, wet or spruced firewood in a stove that is approved by DEFRA since it can cause nuisance fumes that violate the Clean Air Act.

There are many traditional and contemporary Defra stoves that are available. You should also consider the kind of fuel you'll be using, a few Defra stoves are only approved for use with wood, and do not allow for multi-fuel burners.

If you want to be able to burn other authorised fuels in your stove, such as smokeless coal or anthracite, you will need to purchase a separate smoke control kit which can be installed on appliances that aren't exempt from the Defra regulations. The Stovax shop has a variety of smoke control kits that are compatible with the majority of stoves that are not DEFRA approved high-quality stoves approved.

Coal

Multi-fuel stoves that are approved by Defra are the best choice for eco-conscious people. They allow you to enjoy your stove's warmth while minimizing the impact on the environment. They must comply with the regulations of the government and manufacturers are obliged to comply if they wish to remain in business.

The most sustainable way to heat your home is with an DEFRA approved wood-burning stove that also burns approved fuels like coal. Coal is an unrenewable fossil energy that was formed around 300 million years ago. At that period, large-sized swamps filled with plants and ferns were common on Earth. The plants sank into water when they died and grew into peat over time. It was then buried under layers of rock, and other materials until it was transformed into solid coal.

When coal is burned, it releases a large amount of energy as heat and sulphur dioxide that can contribute to pollution of the air. Sulphur dioxide is one the major causes of acid rain. It can damage lakes, rivers, wildlife, and crops. Many countries, including the United States, have banned coal mining due to the acid rain threat.

While coal produces many pollutants, it is still a significant part of the heating world. It is the most utilized fossil fuel, and has an affordable price when relative to other fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. Moreover coal is an energy efficient fuel that produces a lot of heat per kilogram.

A DEFRA exempted wood-burning, or DEFRA approved, stove is a stove which can be used to cook authorised fuels like briquettes and coke in areas that are smoke-free. These stoves can be used with a broad variety of firelogs that are essentially sawdust compressed and other wood wastes and sometimes mixed with paraffin-based fuel to allow them to be lighter.

Wood

Defra approved wood stoves are the best option for homeowners living in an area that has a smoke control. They burn clean, low-smoke gas that creates less pollution than coal and other fossil fuels. They are also affordable and come in a range of styles that match your interior design.

Oft, multi-fuel stoves which are DEFRA exempt have a second inlet just above the main vent. This is pre-heated before the main air flow is allowed to enter and assists in preventing the ash from sticking to glass of the stove as well as helping the burning logs draw in air. Some stoves might also have a tertiary inlet that is heated by flue gases as they exit, ensuring the best combustion and cleaner flames.

You can also select an approved log burner from DEFRA, which is designed to burn seasoned, dry hardwoods. This type of wood is locally grown and is carbon neutral. When trees are burnt, they release carbon dioxide that was absorbed into the trees during their growth.

DEFRA-approved log burners are permitted in smoke controlled areas provided that you use authorized fuels only. If you are unsure whether your property falls within a Smoke Control Area, you can contact your Local Authority for more information.

A DEFRA-approved wood stove is a great option for those who love the traditional look of log burners, however, they would like to be able to use other fuels in addition. It is crucial to know that only DEFRA-approved stoves can be fitted with a 5" chimney liner when burning wood and this must be fitted by a certified installer. If you prefer modern design, there are a variety of stoves that are Defra-approved and can be installed in fireplace chambers and inglenooks and still look great. These stoves are not able to burn approved fuels, such as smokeless oval anthracite. This means you will need to purchase and install a different, Defra-approved woodburning stove to do this. This is a good option, as burning unauthorised fuels in a stove that isn't DEFRA approved could put you in breach of the regulations and could be prosecuted.

Smokeless Fuels

Smokeless fuels can be used in a multifuel DEFRA approved fireplace to lower emissions and soot. The smokeless fuels that are anthracite-based, and sold as briquettes are typically anthracite-based. They are designed to produce less carbon dioxide than coal used in homes and create an even and consistent fire. They are an excellent choice for those in areas of smoke control However, they are suitable for anyone who likes using an open fire or multi-fuel stove.

A DEFRA approved wood burning stove has secondary or tertiary burn system that enhances combustion and eliminates harmful particles and gases. These systems can also extend the life of your stove by reducing how quickly it wears out and can clog up the flue. The majority of modern stoves have DEFRA approval, but older stoves can be modified to comply by kits.

The Portway Luxima is an example of wood burners that have been constructed to be DEFRA compliant. The large, warp-free doors made of cast iron allows for an excellent view of the fuel bed. The stove features a chic bevelled door design and an elegant chrome handle that is in contrast with the design.
