Smoke Exempt

DEFRA exempted wood burning stoves or Premium defra Stoves approved stoves are designed to be in compliance with the Department of Environment (DEFRA's) regulations. The stoves have been tested and examined to ensure that they burn fuel more efficiently and emit little or no smoke. These stoves emit low levels of emissions and their combustion efficiency allows them to re-burn part-burned combustibles such as soot and ash before they are released up your chimney.

If you reside in an area classified as a Smoke-Control Area, it is important that your stove be DEFRA exempt. It must also allow you to use authorised fuels.

These stoves also show the clear smoke coming out of the chimney, instead of the dark smoke common with older stoves that burn logs and open fires.

The reason the smoke particles in these modern DEFRA exempt stoves are so lower is because they have been constructed with secondary and third airflow systems. This means that the air within the combustion chamber is always being circulated, which makes it far more difficult for these particles to escape the chimney.

This also means that you are able to only burn authorised fuels on your DEFRA exempt wood stove (such as dry seasoned firewood). The airflow system on these modern stoves also helps keep the combustion chamber spotless so that the build-up of soot is minimized, and gas can easily escape from the flue.

Suitable for Smoke Control Areas

It is crucial to have a wood-burning stove that is DEFRA-approved for use in UK cities and towns. This means that the appliance has passed strict tests and can be used legally in these areas. These tests ensure that the air is not contaminated by the combustion particles created by the stove. These toxins are the reason for the dark smoke frequently seen from chimneys in areas of smoke control, and they could have a negative impact on health as well as being a nuisance to neighbours.

Local councils have also enacted laws to control the problem by banning the use of open fireplaces as well as non-DEFRA-exempt appliances. The good news is you can still put your stove in your home as long as it's DEFRA-exempt and you only use authorised fuel.

Stoves that are approved to be used in Smoke Control Zones will be inspected and marked to ensure that they are in compliance with the strict emission and efficiency requirements. Defra-exempt stoves are also more sustainable than other kinds of woodburners because they have advanced secondary and tertiary burn systems which reduce their carbon footprint.

You can find out if you live in a smoke-free zone by contacting your local council. You can also find out the address of your property's postcode online, but it is best to visit the official website of your local council to find out more in-depth information since every district in the UK may be different.
