Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a zone of smoke control then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves release very little smoke and offer plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have developed a range of Defra stoves that are traditionally styled, but have the latest clean burning technology. These stoves can be used to burn many different types 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 combustion. They accomplish this by ensuring that the fire is not depleted of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burned will not escape up the chimney into the air, where they can pollute the air.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are better for your chimney and flue since they emit less smoke. This helps keep them cleaner for a longer period of time which will reduce maintenance costs while enhancing the performance of your stove.

Defra wood stoves also make an excellent choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without breaking the law. There are a range of sizes and outputs available to suit different home types, so you can locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than traditional stoves and open fires.

The most reliable Defra-approved stoves are made of untreated, hard wood that is dry and has an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove works efficiently and reduce 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 regulated by the EU to be as efficient and as clean burning possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The major benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it produces significantly less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is due to the fact that they were designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is accomplished through having a secondary and occasionally even a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being lacking oxygen during the combustion process and also reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollution than older models. This is crucial because particulate pollution can be absorbed into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body, settling in the lungs and heart. This can cause serious health issues, and possibly premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that the latest models produce less harmful pollutant. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory ailments.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan aims to reduce the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a significant reduction in emissions from domestic fuels like wood burners.

One of the ways it plans to achieve this is by making it harder to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission.

Stoves that have been DEFRA approved may be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or specifications.

The Defra logo indicates that the stove has passed independent tests and has been proven capable of burning wood in a smoke-control zone, without emitting harmful fumes. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went above and over the rules.

Some stoves have their top air control altered to prevent it from closing completely. The air supply that is shut off to a log burner will starve it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and creates black smoke.

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

Another good reason to select a DEFRA stoves benefits wood burning stove is that they are greener than older models of woodburners and open fires.
