It's important to check the specifications of the stove prior to buying it as some will have the Defra exempt label that is simply a marketing label rather than being a true Defra approval.

The Defra approved stoves are made to produce the least amount of emissions. However the type of fuel that is used can have a significant impact on the amount of pollution produced. It is therefore essential to use seasoned, dry wood that has been curing for at least two years. Aduro for instance, produces smokeless fuels approved by Defra.

Modern Defra approved stoves will be built to meet the new Ecodesign regulations, which establish higher standards for manufacturing than they did before. The new rules say that any stove installed in a Smoke Control Area must emit less than 5g of particles per hour. This is significantly lower than the 7.5g/hour limit that was in place for earlier stoves.

According to the UK Government, despite these cuts the use of coal and wood in homes accounts for 17 percent of fine particle pollution in the UK. The latest figures, however, show that coal and [Redirect-301] wood burning contributes less than one-quarter of the total impact of all sources of particle pollutants. This includes road traffic, as well as industrial processes.

It is important to remember that Defra approved stoves will remain the main source of fine particle pollution in the UK. Reduce the amount of wood that you burn, and use fuels with an average moisture content of less than 20%. The fire will burn at a lower temperature and will produce more pollutants. It also causes the glass of the stove to darken faster, which causes a faster buildup of soot in the chimney.
