Choosing a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove

Defra Approved

DEFRA Approved stoves or log burners are essential to those who live in Smoke Control Area of the UK. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure they emit only minimal smoke. They also pass rigorous emission tests and satisfy requirements of the government under the Clean Air Act. DEFRA approved appliances are made and designed in a manner that they efficiently burn wood, resulting in minimal smoke. This is achieved by making sure that the stove is equipped with enough combustible air flow throughout the day. Here at Bowland Stoves we offer a variety of traditional and modern DEFRA approved wood burning stoves that come in a variety of styles.

If you live in a Smoke Control Area or not, a DEFRA approved stove is a great investment if you plan on installing it. A majority of the modern stoves we sell have an integrated feature that prevents you from closing the top air vent completely. This prevents the fire from reducing its effectiveness and causes it to burn and create more smoke.

Another great benefit of DEFRA approved stoves is that they are much more energy efficient, allowing you to save on fuel costs and keep your home warm for longer. They produce less pollution than older stoves and open fires.

Clean Burning Technology

A multi fuel stove is a fantastic alternative for homeowners who wish to use a wood burning stove but don't have enough space to store logs. These stoves can be stocked with either logs or manufactured fuels like peat and coal briquettes. These stoves are usually capable of combusting both of these types of fuel more efficiently than traditional log burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a variety of fuels.

The raised grate on stoves that are designed to burn various fuels is typically designed to allow air circulation beneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels, such as peat briquettes and turf briquettes, require a large amount of air to ignite and burn. The majority of multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow which can be opened or shut according to the type of fuel. This helps keep the fire burning by supplying a second supply of air to the stove. It can increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary airflow systems within a fireplace can be used to adjust the flame's height and temperature. This is important because different fuels burn at different rates, and generate different amounts of heat. Making sure you keep the flame's height and temperature in check will ensure that your stove is running as efficiently as possible and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

Finally, you'll have to remove ash regularly from your stove and then store it in an ash bucket or ash pan. This will stop the accumulation of ash too high on the stove's grates and will prevent your fuel from burning properly. It is also necessary to clean your stove glass regularly to avoid any discolouration. You can keep your stove looking new by using a soft damp scourer and a specific product for cleaning your stove. To avoid any harm or issues, it is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven.

Low Emissions

The most efficient multi-fuel stoves are built with low emissions, meaning they burn wood or smokeless coal or a combination of both, with minimal emissions. This is particularly important in a smoke-control zone such as London where you'll need an approved stove from Defra and only burn authorised materials that are part of the Ready To Burn Scheme to meet local regulations.

Typically a Defra approved stove will come with automatic fuel feed as well as an air supply control to ensure that the fire burns at its maximum efficiency. This results in less smoke and a high heat output which can be a good idea in a smaller room where the stove is the main focal area.

If you reside in a smoke-control region it is crucial to select a stove that is Defra approved to ensure that you are in compliance with regulations. This will help you avoid hefty fines if you burn illegally. There are many Defra-approved stoves available, 349338.xyz but we recommend you choose a wood-burning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will give you an easier view of the flame and will be more efficient.

The AGA Ellesmere EC4 is a fantastic example of an Ecodesign and DEFRA approved stove that delivers both design and efficiency. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller rooms. It also comes with simple primary and secondary air controls. Its elegant design would work well in both traditional and modern settings.

Another option is the Stovax Blithfield which is a widescreen stove that has large windows that gives excellent flame views. It is available in a variety of colors to match your décor. The stove is Defra Eco Design-compliant. It is available in a Tracery or Clear Arch version. The Tracery version has dramatic Gothic arches on the door.

An alternative to a conventional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove which uses biomass pellets or wood that has been compressed to create a highly efficient fire with a high amount of heat output. The pellets, which are comprised of sawdust or other wood products that were rejected, are an eco sustainable alternative. The stoves have hotplates and oven, so they can also be used to cook. The standard 6" (150mm) however, still compatible with 5 1/2" (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is an advantage where it could be difficult to install a standard 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack has some awkward bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace creates heat that is transferred to the room. It does this via radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove radiates heat into the room or through convection, in which it draws cold air in from outside, then heats it up and then directs it back into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve maximum efficiency, making use of secondary and third air supply to reduce emissions and burn fuel efficiently.

A good example is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is Defra and Ecodesign approved. The large square window provides stunning views of the flame, and the fact that it is larger than normal means it can be inserted into an opening for a chimney that is larger. The airwash system helps keep the glass clear of soot. The stove comes in a selection of six finishes and can even be equipped with a top plate so that you can cook on it too.

Multifuel stoves can also be an efficient method to use wood, though you should adhere to the instructions of your appliance to get the best results and make sure that it is regularly inspected by an expert. It is also crucial to select the appropriate fuel, as every type will burn at different rates and generate the same amount of energy. You'll need to decide if you want the fire to produce a lot of heat quickly or if you prefer a long and slow burn that generates warm air.

If you reside in a region where smoke is restricted, it's important to be aware that only DEFRA-approved cooking stoves are allowed to be used to burn wood and smokeless coke. You could be fined lots of money if you burn other fuel. The stove may be damaged.

The Defra-approved multifuel stoves we offer all have 5" (125mm) flue outlets that can be installed to an existing chimney system or stack. This is a less expensive option than installing a stainless steel twin wall liner, particularly if you do not need to extend as high as the chimney.
