Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a new stove. From the enticing appeal of dual function to the practical aspects of installation, compliance and safety.

Back boiler stoves approved by DEFRA are a great solution to these problems. They produce very little smoke because they use the minimum amount of combustion air.

Clean Burn Technology

If you're in search of a clean burning stove with a large firebox that can be used to heat your home and supply hot water to radiators then a defra approved back boiler stove might be the one you're seeking. These stoves have an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating your central heating system whilst the fire is burning inside the stove, meaning it's a far more efficient method to use wood burning stoves.

Most of our defra approved back boiler stoves come with a pre-heated airwash system which helps keep the glass doors free of ash and soot deposits. They also come with secondary combustion systems that is able to reburn any unburned particulates produced during the initial combustion. This helps keep the flue gas clean, which leads to a more efficient burning process and lower cost of fuel.

Certain of our stoves have been tested independently and approved as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). They achieve this by having an adjustment on the top air vent that stops you from closing it completely which would cut off the oxygen supply to the fire - this causes it to smolder rather than burn cleanly and result in more harmful gases being released into the atmosphere.

Another important factor is the moisture content of your fuel which can be a major contributor to the amount of smoke emitted by a stove. We recommend burning only seasoned, dried wood with at least 20 percent to ensure that your stove burns as cleanly and efficiently as is possible. Most of our Defra approved stoves come with a built-in moisture sensor that adjusts the burn rate according to using damp or wet wood.

Some manufacturers have even taken a step further to increase the efficiency of their stoves by including an advanced secondary clean burn system, which is controlled by a chrome pull lever on the base of the stove. It opens and closes an air vent that draws air over the fire, re-burning the initial smoke created during the initial burning process. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, so you could save even more money on your energy bills.

Easy to Clean
