Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stoves

DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves allow you to burn wood and authorised smokeless fuels in smoke controlled areas. They are safe to burn low emissions and a wide range of styles that will fit any home.

Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) regulations prohibit the release of dark smoke from chimneys located within Smoke Control Areas, without an exempt appliance or authorised fuel.

Efficient combustion

Multi-fuel stoves that are approved by Defra are used in many homes due to their efficient heating and the lowest carbon footprint. They are suitable for various fuel types, including smokeless coal and logs. Additionally, these stoves often offer a great deal of control over the fire which allows you to achieve the perfect flame for your wood-burning stove.

This is crucial as it ensures that only the smallest amount of ash can be produced, which will aid in keeping your chimney free of dust. This also means that your fire will keep heating for longer without needing to be replenished. As a result, you'll save money in the long term and be able to enjoy your fire without worrying about the health of your chimney.

Stoves that are Defra approved have been tested to be sure they meet certain emission and efficiency requirements. They are usually marked as 'Defra approved' or 'SE for Smoke Exempt', making them the most secure option when you are looking to purchase an appliance for your home.

Reduced emissions

Multi-fuel stoves approved by Defra are not just eco friendly, but also help to reduce emissions at home. The most significant pollutant released by solid fuels like wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). These fine particles can get into the lungs, causing respiratory ailments and even heart disease.

Modern multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by DEFRA are designed to reduce levels of this toxic substance. The Stove Yard offers a large selection of stoves that are SIA Ecodesign certified and have been rigorously tested to ensure that they function far below the latest manufacturing standard of 3g/hour, which is the standard for appliances used in areas with smoke control. We also have a selection of models that have been endorsed by the independent clearSkies scheme, allowing more efficient reductions in emissions.

If you reside in an area designated as a Smoke Control Area, it is important to use only seasoned and well-dried wood to avoid smoky. If you want to use fossil fuels in your multifuel stove, there's a wide range of smokeless alternatives that can reduce the amount of harmful gas the stove emits.

The latest DEFRA-approved stoves, like those we have in our collection offer the third and second-generation combustion systems that reduce the carbon footprint of users as well as air pollution. These systems assist in converting more volatile gases produced by solid fuels, such as wood, into heat energy. You'll use less fuel to achieve the same level of heating, which will reduce your fuel bills.

This is a wonderful feature however, it's important to keep in mind that Defra approved stoves do not have the same burn times as non-DEFRA Certified stoves (escortexxx.ca). This is because a continuous supply of third-level secondary and combustion air is required to keep the fuel from burning out. If you plan to make use of the stove for the purpose of slumber burn (i.e. overnight burning) then the Defra Approved model cannot allow you to extend your fuel supply to the same extent as a non Defra model.

Smoke control regulations

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves can be used for use in areas with smoke control (check online if your region is one of them). In areas with smoke control the emissions from log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This prevents the release of harmful substances into the air that could irritate neighbors and cause health issues for people living nearby. It is essential to use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is important to avoid fines if the stove is found to be emitting excessive amounts of smoke.

Smoke control zones are generally urban areas with a high population density, such as large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are designed to maintain air quality by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are compliant with the regulations and have been certified to guarantee low emissions. This is crucial to ensuring the safety and health of the people who live in these zones.

It is crucial to note that smoke-free stoves can only be used in conjunction with approved fuels such as dry well-seasoned, well-seasoned wood. It is not legal to burn damp or wet wood in a smoke control zone since they could create excessive smoke. It is illegal to burn household waste, such as pallets, old furniture and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals that release toxic substances when they are burned. To prevent excessive emissions, it is best to select firewood with less than 20%. This will ensure that the stove is used correctly and will prevent the emission of excessive amounts. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent choice for purchasing firewood that meets this requirement.

A DEFRA approved stove can run on a variety of different fuels, which means you don't have to change your chimney to enjoy a cozy fire. It is important to remember that your stove needs regular cleaning and maintenance for it to function effectively. If you do not maintain your stove regularly, it will be less efficient in reducing emissions and may even damage the chimney or flue system.
