Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

When looking to purchase new stoves, it is important to ensure that your chosen stove is in compliance with all regulations. It is important to ensure that the stove you choose to purchase is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas burning wood or wood burning stoves approved smokeless coal.

These types of stoves are designed with separate air controls to provide the correct amount of primary and secondary combustion air for both fuels. They also have a removable grate and the ash pan, which makes it easy to clean.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi-fuel stoves can be used with a variety of materials, including logs. Smokeless fuels, turf or peat briquettes, anthracite and other substances can be used. These types of fuels produce less harmful emissions than logs. A lot of our multifuel stoves come with clean burn technology, which decreases the amount of particulate matter generated during combustion. Clean burn is also used to refer to other specific technologies that reduce emissions, like pre-heated secondary air or Ecodesign Ready.

A lot of our multifuel stoves also feature a raised grate, or a central grate that is riddling with asphan underneath it. This ensures the optimal combustion conditions. This ensures that the process of combustion produces the least amount of black smoke possible during operation. It also allows the removal of ash from the bottom of the stove, which can be stored in the asphan below for safe disposal.

If you reside in a Smoke Control Area it is important to buy a Defra approved wood burning or multi-fuel stove that is exempt from Defra regulations. This will allow you to use the stove legally so long as it is only using fuels that are authorised, according to DEFRA guidelines. This is because non-Defra stoves could be prone to slumbering which is a condition where the combustion system becomes starved of air resulting in black smoke. Defra approved stoves (or Defra exempt wood burners) have been tested and verified to limit this slumbering which gives you the peace of mind that your stove will always be safe and efficient when it is operated properly.

Modern multi-fuel stoves, such as the Stovax Stovax Stockton 3 have a modern design with sleek lines and smooth surfaces that can be a perfect match for any space.

Defra Approved

In areas of the UK classified as smoke-free, stoves that are DEFRA approved may be utilized. This includes a lot of large cities towns and urban areas. If you live in such an area and wood burning stoves use unapproved wood or fuel and you are unable to prove it, you could face the possibility of a fine. Stoves that are DEFRA approved will provide the minimum amount of air needed for efficient combustion, meaning that they produce very small, if any polluting smoke.

Stoves must pass emissions and efficiency tests to receive the Defra approval. The Defra logo is frequently found on stoves and manufacturer websites, making it easy to recognize. Many stove manufacturers are improving their products by adding secondary and tertiary combustion systems that can help reduce emissions. This makes their stoves environmentally sustainable and allows them to be used with a wider range of fuels.

You should always check if the stove is DEFRA-approved prior to purchasing a brand new wood or multi-fuel stove. This is particularly important if you live in a smoke-free zone. Even if you can use approved smokeless fuels, such as briquettes and anthracite but a stove that is not approved by DEFRA will still emit noxious smoke, which is in violation of the law.

DEFRA approved stoves come with an adjustment on the top DEFRA stoves vent which prevents it from being shut completely. This stops you from robbing the stove of oxygen, which will slow down its combustion and cause it to smoulder. The more smouldering occurs the more smoke is produced and the less efficiently your stove will burn. If you have a DEFRA-approved stove you should only use dry wood that has been seasoned and smokeless fuels that are approved. The smoke generated by damp wood and other wet fuels is excessive, and can upset your neighbors. This is not just illegal, but can also lead to expensive fines. If you're planning to install a multi-fuel fire place that is approved by DEFRA, you'll need employ an engineer to make sure it is in compliance with building regulations.

Smoke Control Areas

The UK's Smoke Control Areas are primarily located in cities and towns that are large, where excessive smoke is a major nuisance to the residents. If you are in a smoke control zone there is no permit to burn fuels that are not approved for burning on open fires or wood burning stoves unless they are classified as exempt appliances. Defra approved multi-fuel and wood burning stoves are equipped with the latest combustion technology, which prevents part-burned combustibles going up your chimney. They are therefore the best choice for smoke controlled properties.

DEFRA approval is a sign that your appliance has been tested and certified to burn all types of fuels without producing excessive smoke. This is accomplished by providing the correct amount of air for the combustion process to ensure that the combustibles remain at their ideal levels. This is why Defra approved wood burning stoves are also more sustainable and less likely to block your chimney.
