Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

It is essential to be aware of all regulations prior to purchasing an appliance. This includes ensuring that your stove is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas when burning wood, and is approved smokeless coal.

These types of stoves are designed with separate air controls that supply the correct amount of secondary and primary combustion air for both fuels. They also feature an the ash pan, which makes it easy to clean.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are designed to accept a range of different materials in addition logs. These can include smokeless fuels, anthracite, peat or turf briquettes and more. In general, these kinds of materials produce less harmful emissions than logs do. This is why many of our multi-fuel stoves are fitted with clean-burn technology to reduce the amount of particulate matter that they produce during combustion. The term "clean burn" can also refer to other technologies that decrease emissions, such as preheated tertiary or Ecodesign Ready.

As well as this, a lot of our multi-fuel stoves have a raised grate with moving bars or a central riddling grate and asphan below it that helps to ensure that the combustion conditions are maintained. This ensures that the process of combustion produces the least amount of black smoke possible during operation. It also permits the removal of the ash from the bottom of the stove. It can be contained in the asphan below for safe disposal.

If you reside in an area that is a Smoke Control Area it is important to buy a Defra approved wood burning or multi-fuel stove that is exempt from the Defra regulations. This ensures that you will be permitted to make use of the stove legally provided that it's only burning 'approved fuels' (as per DEFRA guidelines). The reason for this is that stoves that are not approved by DEFRA are susceptible to slumbering, a condition where the combustion system can become starved of oxygen which can result in the formation of black smoke. Defra approved stoves (or Defra exempt wood burners) have been tested and verified to limit this slumbering, giving you the peace of mind that your stove will remain safe and efficient when it is operated correctly.

Modern multi-fuel stoves, such as the Stovax Stovax Stockton 3 have a contemporary design, with sleek lines and smooth surfaces that complement any space. They also come in a choice of colours including traditional matte black that offers a timeless look that works well with a range of interior colour styles. Other popular choices include neutral grey and creamy finishes and bold colors like red or blue that can make an impact in any space.

Defra Approved

Stoves that are DEFRA approved (also called SE or Smoke Exempt) are able to be used in areas of the UK that are classified as smoke-free. This includes a lot of large cities, towns and urban zones. If you reside in a similar area and you burn fuel or wood you could be subject to a fine. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved provide the necessary amount of air for efficient combustion. This means they produce little or no nuisance smoke.

To receive the Defra approval, stoves are tested for efficiency and emissions. The Defra logo is easily identifiable on stoves and manufacturer websites. Numerous stove manufacturers are improving the products they offer by adding secondary and tertiary components that reduce emissions. This makes their stoves more environmentally sustainable and also means that they can be used with a wider range of fuels.

When you are buying a new multi-fuel or wood burning stove, take into consideration whether it's DEFRA approved. This is particularly important if you reside in a smoke-free zone. If you purchase a stove not DEFRA approved even if it could be used with authorised smokeless fuels, such as anthracite or briquettes you'll still produce unwelcome smoke and in violation of the law.

DEFRA approved stoves will have an adjustment on the top air vent which stops you from closing it all the way down. This stops you from robbing the stove of oxygen that could slow its combustion and cause it to start smoking. The more smouldering happens, the more smoke that is generated and the less efficiently the stove will burn. You should also only ever use dry seasoned hardwood and only smokeless fuels that have been approved for use in the DEFRA approved stove. Using damp wood or other fuels that are wet can cause excessive smoke and may cause disturbance to neighbors. This is not just illegal, but could result in costly fines. If you want a multi-fuel stove that's DEFRA approved it is necessary to be installed professionally by an engineer to make sure that it meets all of the relevant building regulations.

Smoke Control Areas

The UK's Smoke Control Areas are primarily located in large cities and towns where smoke pollution is a major annoyance to local inhabitants. If you are in a zone of smoke control it is not allowed to burn fuels that are not approved for burning on open fires or wood burning stoves, unless they are declared exempt. Defra approved wood burning and multi-fuel stoves feature the latest combustion technology that prevents part-burned combustibles going up your chimney and making them the ideal choice for your smoke controlled property.

DEFRA approval signifies that your appliance has been tested and approved to burn all fuels permitted without producing excessive smoke. This is achieved by supplying the correct amount of air to the combustion process to keep the combustibles at their best state. For this reason, Defra approved wood burning stoves are better for the environment and less likely to block your chimney.

A multi-fuel stove that utilizes triple burn technology will improve its efficiency. The triple burn technology utilizes three stages in order to ensure that all fuel is combustion, leading to a more efficient heating system and lower emissions.

Multi-fuel stoves are popular as they offer greater flexibility in terms of fuel selection. This is a wonderful feature for people who live in areas with smoke control because it allows them the option to burn both wood or smokeless coal. However it is recommended to only burn the fuels suggested by the stove manufacturer and never household waste or wood that has been treated or painted.

You should make sure that the multi-fuel stove you purchase is appropriate for your home, and efficient stoves has the correct chimney outlet. Also, you should check that the chimney or flue system is in good condition and that there is sufficient space around it, referred to as distance to combustibles, to ensure safety.

A multi-fuel stove may be more flexible than a traditional wood stove, but you must adhere to the strict guidelines that are set by DEFRA to prevent nuisance smoke. If you use a stove that is not in compliance with these guidelines could result in a fine, so it is important to follow the directions in your stove's manual.
