What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A multi-fuel stove that has been approved by defra is one which has passed the Defra test for smoke. They can also be referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The government Defra department is responsible for implementing rules and regulations related to the rural, agricultural and environmental issues. The Defra Test ensures that you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels like Anthracite Ovals, for instance, in a smoke-free area without causing disturbance to your neighbors.

Some eco-friendly stoves use dung as a sustainable and carbon-negative alternative to wood.

The most crucial aspect in making sure your stove is eco-friendly is ensuring that the fuel used is properly seasoned or kiln dried. This reduces the moisture content of the wood and allows it to burn more efficiently. It is also a good idea to purchase only wood sourced from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to guarantee that it has been dried to an appropriate temperature.

Most newer stoves are made to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove makers to design wood-burning stoves that are energy efficient and with the environment in mind. Ecodesign stoves have to be designed to take into consideration the environment, energy efficiency, and the reduction of waste. These are among the most eco-friendly and cleanest stoves that are available.

Replace the grates on your stove with a ceramic grate. This will make it more environmentally friendly. Ceramic is not just attractive and attractive, but it also comes with the added benefit of not being a smoker and helping to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere.

They use the latest secondary and tertiary airflow techniques to ignite tar gases and particulates before they are released into the atmosphere. This is what makes an Defra approved stove much less polluting than older stoves that burn wood and open fires.

The design of a stove that is Defra-approved is also different. Most of our stoves have an internal mechanism that allows for a small, continuous flow of air into the fire even after the vents for air are shut. This prevents soot and ash being pushed up the fireplace, which can cause dangerous chimney fires.

The new Defra-approved cooktops don't allow you to completely close the air vents and slumber the stove over night and release part-burned combustibles to the atmosphere.

A DEFRA-approved stove can have a longer burning time compared to older non-Defra stoves. However, if you were to switch your approved fuel with smokeless coal to sleep the stove over night and reduce the time of the burning time due to the constant air supply required to slumber would reduce the burning of smokeless fuel.

Emissions Reductions

If used correctly when it is properly used, a DEFRA exempt stove can produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles, which, if inhaled, could cause numerous health issues, including heart problems and lung illnesses.

The high efficiency of combustion provided by a DEFRA-approved wood burner reduces the amount of harmful particles and pollutants released during the process of burning. This minimizes the impact of the burning process on the environment.

In addition to being DEFRA Approved, many stoves are also tested to clearSkies standards and are able to be identified with the clearSkies mark. The clearSkies scheme is an independent scheme that requires stove manufacturers to display information on the effectiveness and emissions of their appliances that allow consumers to make an informed decision. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating, emissions, and type and size.

It is important to keep in mind that, just like Ecodesign, clearSkies regulations represent minimum standards. Manufacturers may go above and above these. ESSE has designed its latest stoves so that they are even more efficient and cleaner, producing less smoke without impacting efficiency or control. This latest development uses the patented twin catalytic combustion technique that reburns the smoke particles it releases significantly reducing their impact on the atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke-controlled zone and use a DEFRA Approved Stove with a high-quality, kiln-dried or seasoned log, then you will get as much heat, or even more than that, from the same amount of dry wood as the same amount of wood burned in a non DEFRA Approved Stove.
