Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved

Multi fuel and wood burning stoves that are DEFRA approved, also referred to as Defra Smoke Exempt, have passed rigorous emissions tests. This means they can be used within UK cities and large towns that are classed as smoke control areas.

Defra Approved

If you live in the Smoke Control Area in the UK and want to use wood in your stove then you need a DEFRA approved or Defra Burning Mdf exempt appliance. This is because DEFRA is the abbreviation for Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the government bans the release of nuisance smoke into towns and cities where it can cause problems for residents. These appliances have been tested rigorously to ensure that particulate emissions levels are significantly reduced and that they can pass the strict Defra test.

The Defra approval or DEFRA exempt logo is well recognized and widely used by the industry. You'll usually see it printed or engraved on the stove, however sometimes, the text is included in the specification sheet. There are also models that are DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt. This means they can be used with both solid and wood fuels.

A Defra approved wood burning stove has undergone extensive tests to determine the amount of particulate matter it releases. It will be able to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act by supplying the minimum amount of combustion air to the fuel, so that it can burn efficiently without producing excessive smoke. They are more environmentally friendly than non Defra approved stoves, and will also help you save money by reducing your heating bills.

Defra approved wood burning stoves can be particularly useful for those who live in Smoke Control Area. If you use a non-Defra approved stove in a Smoke Control Area and you're in violation of the law and could be slapped with a huge fine. A stove that is Defra-approved is more friendly to neighbors, since it doesn't emit any noxious fumes. It also keeps your chimney and flue hygienic for a longer period of time.

A DEFRA-approved wood burner allows you to install a 5kW stove fitted with a stainless steel flexible twin wall liner. (Provided the manufacturer doesn't demand an increased size). It's worth considering this option if you're looking to save money by not having to purchase a new chimney.

Exempt from Defra

A DEFRA approved stove is an essential piece of equipment if you reside in a smoke controlled area. The stoves have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure that they emit a minimum amount of emissions, which reduces the particulate matter (PM10) in your home.

DEFRA approved stoves are identified with the Defra Approved or a DEFRA Exempt logo. Stoves with the logo have been tested independently and have met strict requirements for smoke control.

You should not burn dry wood with the use of a Defra Exempt Stove in a Smoke Control Zone, as this will create nuisance smoke. You cannot use non-Defra approved multi fuel stoves unless within a Smoke Control Area. The stoves will also generate PM10 and could result in a substantial fine from the council.

Multi fuel stoves endorsed by Defra are designed to burn wood and smokeless coke without producing any unpleasant smoke. This is accomplished by using the latest technology of combustion that does not hinder the flow of air into the fireplace, which is also known as slumbering. Stoves that are allowed to sleep overnight can produce excessive black smoke, which can be harmful for your chimney and stove.

Stovax Vogue Small is a excellent example of multi-fuel stoves that are Defra Exempt and high quality. This well-known wood burning stove is highly efficient with a maximum heating output of 5kW and features a built in log store base, making it perfect for installation into taller fireplace openings.

ACR Earlswood LS is another multi-fuel wood burner that has been endorsed by DEFRA. The Earlswood is yet another multi-fuel stove that has been through an extensive series of tests to ensure it meets the strict standards set by DEFRA for particulate emissions. It is able to be used in smoke-controlled areas and burns a variety of wood and smokeless fuels.

Selecting a DEFRA Exempt multi fuel stove could be a cost-effective option for a new chimney liner. Because they all come with a 5" chimney outlet, you can use the stainless twin wall 125mm in diameter flexible liner instead of the standard 6" (150mm). This is especially cost effective where there isn't enough space for a larger sized liner and especially useful where the chimney stack you have currently has difficult bends that make it difficult to install the traditional 6" chimney liner.

Smoke Control Areas

A large portion of the UK are designated as Smoke Control Areas which means that if you fit an open fire or wood-burning stove in your residence, you are required to only burn authorised fuels in it. This law was passed to prevent nuisance smoke from affecting neighbouring properties, and to help keep the environment free of pollutants. It does not restrict the use of appliances that are solid fuel or stoves that meet certain criteria. DEFRA approved stoves (also known as Defra-exempted stoves) are an excellent choice if you live in a smoking control area. They've been specially tested and meet the requirements.

A Defra approved stove is able to burn all authorised fuels including wood without producing excessive smoke. To achieve this the technology used to burn wood in a Defra approved stove is designed to limit how depleted the stove is of air during the combustion process. Usually, this is accomplished by using special baffles within the stove which redirect airflow and stop it from escaping the stove.

The top DEFRA-approved stoves will have a feature called "clean burn" that permits combustibles that are part-burned, such as soot and ash to be burned and then discharged through the chimney rather than into the room. This stops combustibles that have been burned partially from entering the stove and causing a build up that eventually causes black smoke.

If you fit stoves that have Defra exemption, it is important to burn only the specified types of fuels in it, as failing to do this could lead to penalties under the Clean Air Act. This is particularly true if you're burning damp wood, or any other wet fuel that produces smoke that is noxious. Check with your stove's manual or your supplier to determine which fuels you can burn in your stove.

The Dimplex Langbrook, for example is a fashionable wood-burning fireplace that is Defra exempt and can burn a wide variety of approved fuels. This model comes in a variety of heat outputs, and in a variety of finishes including a matte black finish.

Heat Output

If you see the Defra approved symbol on the stove, that indicates that it is suitable for use within an area of smoke control when burning wood or other approved fuels. The Defra approval process includes rigorous examination and testing to make sure that the stove satisfies the Department of Environment's requirements for low emissions and high efficiency in combustion. These features will make your stove more efficient in heating your home and will help you to reduce your carbon footprint.

There are a wide range of Defra approved multi fuel stoves to choose from, from small 4kW models to larger 5kW models. The ideal model will depend on many factors, such as the size of the room and the amount of heat needed. A stove that is too big for your space could cause excessive heating and lead to fuel waste. It is essential to seek the advice of a qualified when selecting the best wood burning or multi-fuel stove.

In addition to Defra approval You should also search for a stove compliant with Ecodesign 2022 regulations. These regulations aim to increase the energy efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves are designed to burn fuel more efficiently, resulting in less CO2 emissions as well as other pollutants. They are also easier to clean since they produce less soot and tar than other stoves.

Most Defra-approved multi fuel stoves have air controls that can be adjusted to regulate how much fuel is burned. Most of these models are also equipped with a grate and an ash pan to aid in the efficient burning of smokeless coal. The ash pan collects ashes from the firebox and stops them from interfering with the air flow into the combustion chamber.
