Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

When looking to purchase a new stove it is essential to ensure that your chosen stove is in compliance with all rules and regulations. This includes ensuring that your stove is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control zones for wood burning and approved smokeless coal.

These stoves have separate air controls that provide the correct amount of air for both secondary and primary combustion. They also have an open grate that can be removed for easier cleaning.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are designed to take a variety of different materials, in addition to logs. These include smokeless fuels, anthracite, peat or turf briquettes, and more. These types of fuels produce less harmful emissions than logs. As such, many of our multi-fuel stoves are fitted with clean-burn technology to reduce the amount of particulate matter that they produce during combustion. The term "clean burn" is also used to refer to other technologies that help reduce emissions like preheated tertiary or Ecodesign Ready.

It can be stored in the asphan below for safe disposal.

If you reside in an area that is a Smoke Control Area it is important to purchase a Defra approved wood burning or multi-fuel stove that has been exempted from Defra regulations. This will allow you to use the stove legally as long as it's using 'approved fuels' according to DEFRA guidelines. The reason for this is because non-Defra approved stoves are susceptible to slumbering which is a condition in which the combustion system can be deprived of oxygen, resulting in the formation of black smoke. Defra approved stoves (or Defra exempt wood burners) have been tested and verified to limit this slumbering which gives you the peace of mind that your stove will be clean and efficient when operated properly.
