Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in a smoke-free zone then you need a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves will offer a large amount of heat, flames and light, while not emitting any smoke.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have developed a range of Defra stoves that are traditionally styled but come with the most recent in clean burning technology. They can be used to burn a variety of fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood-burning stoves of Defra employ the most advanced combustion technology to ensure a clean and efficient burning. This is accomplished by making sure that the fire doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any combustibles that aren't fully burned won't escape up the chimney and into the air where they can cause pollution.

These DEFRA stoves comparison-approved wood stoves are more suitable for your chimney and flue as they produce less smoke. This will help keep them cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance costs and increasing the efficiency of your stove.

Defra wood stoves also make a great choice for people who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to use smokeless fuels and wood without breaking the law. There are a variety of sizes and heat outputs to suit various homes, so you will be able to locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

Be aware that only stoves that are Defra-approved are permitted to be used in smoke-controlled areas, because they are approved to burn authorised fuels. You could be fined if use non-approved fuels in your Defra-approved stove.

This wood-burning stove is Defra approved and boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It has been built with efficiency in mind. It has an internal air to fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emission rate of 0.26g/h.

In addition to meeting DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested by an independent lab to a stringent SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than old open fires and stoves.

The best stoves that are Defra-approved are made from untreated, hard wood that is dry and has the moisture content to be below 20%. This will not only ensure that the stove is operating correctly, but also create less smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means they have been controlled to be as efficient as possible and as clean burning as the EU permits. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's own 'clearSkies' scheme.

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce significantly less smoke than an uncertified stove. The reason for this is that they are built to ensure a constant flow of air to the flame. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being depriving of air during the combustion process and reduces the amount of black smoke it produces.

These modern stoves are also designed to produce much less harmful particulate matter than earlier models. This is crucial because particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They are then carried through the body before settling in the lungs and heart. This could cause serious health issues including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves produce significantly less harmful pollution than older models, the EU is still seeking to reduce the amount of pollution from all sources. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory issues.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality targets. The plan is aimed at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require a substantial reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, including wood burners.

In order to achieve this, it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't certified will be fined by local authorities, up to PS1,000 per hour they release smoke. If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's crucial to purchase a DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves approved stove.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a series of tests and tests to be in compliance with Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently, while reducing harmful pollution.

If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled and smoke-free, a DEFRA stove is required. You can use approved fuels such as multifuels and wood, which are prohibited if you're not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or specifications.

The Defra approved logo indicates that the stove has been independently tested and has been proven to burn wood in an area that is smoke-free without generating excessive smoke. It is a good sign that the manufacturer went above and beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have their top air controls modified to stop it from closing completely. Shut off the air supply to the log burner to prevent it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved let you burn wood using a 5" liner, while stoves that aren't approved by DEFRA require a 6" flue liner. This is too large for a lot of UK chimneys.

Another good reason to choose a DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves wood burning stove is that they are greener than older models of woodburners or open fires.
