What is a DEFRA compliant stoves UK Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra certified multi fuel stove is one that has been passed the Defra smoke tests. These stoves are often referred to as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The Defra department of the government is responsible for rules and regulations that deal with rural issues, agriculture, and the environment. The Defra test ensures you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels like Anthracite ovals in an area that is smoke-free without upsetting your neighbours with nuisance smoke.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves make use of sustainable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. They typically use wood or a combination of authorised fuels and are designed with eco-friendly considerations in mind. There are many eco-friendly multi-fuel stoves as well as log burners that are available, ranging from traditional to modern models. Some eco-friendly stoves utilize the dung of pigs as a reliable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.

The most important thing you can do to make your stove green is to make sure that the fuel is properly seasoned or dried and kiln-fired. 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 that is sourced from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to ensure it has been dried to the right level.

Most of the newer stoves are compliant with the strict EU EcoDesign Standards. These standards require stove makers to develop wood burning stoves with energy efficiency and the environment in mind. Manufacturers must consider emissions as well as resource efficiency and waste reduction when they design Ecodesign stoves. They are among the most eco-friendly and clean stoves on the market.

Another way to make your stove more green is to substitute the grates with ceramic. This material is not only attractive and DEFRA Approved Wood Burning Stoves attractive, but it also comes with the added benefit of being anti-smoking and helping reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide that is released into the air.

This is the reason Defra approved wood burning stoves are so much healthier than open fires as well as older models of stoves.

The design of a Defra approved stove is also different. The majority of our models have an in-built mechanism that allows an intermittent flow of air into the fire, even when the vents for air have been closed. This prevents ash and soot being pushed into the fireplace, which could cause dangerous chimney fires.

The new Defra-approved stoves don't allow you to shut the vents to let air in and then sleep on the stove over night and release part burned combustibles in the atmosphere.

A DEFRA approved stove will also offer you an extended burn time than other models, but it's important to note that if you switched your approved fuel for smokeless coal and wanted to sleep your stove for the night, then this would shorten the time to burn because the constant supply of air needed for slumber burning would curb the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Emissions Reductions

When properly used, a DEFRA exempt stove can produce extremely low levels of emissions. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles, which, if inhaled, can lead to numerous health issues, including heart problems and lung diseases.

The high efficiency of combustion offered by a DEFRA-approved wooden burner reduces the amount harmful particles and pollutants released by the process of burning. This significantly lowers the environmental impact especially in urban areas where pollution levels are very high.

The information must include a stove's efficiency rating as well as emissions, as well as the type and size of the stove.

It is important to keep in mind that, just as with Ecodesign the clearSkies guidelines are minimum standards, and the manufacturers are able to exceed them. ESSE has developed its most recent stoves to make them even more efficient and less polluting, generating less smoke without impacting the performance or control. This latest development uses the patented twin catalytic combustion technique that burns off any smoke particles it produces significantly reducing their impact on the atmosphere.

In reality it's true that if you're in an smoke-free zone and are using an DEFRA Approved stove with a good quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll generate as much, or more heat from the same amount of dry wood as you would if you were burning it in a non-DEFRA Approved stove.
