Choosing a DEFRA Approved Wood Burner

Many people who are looking for a new stove should look at a DEFRA-approved wood burning stove. These stoves can be installed in smoke-control areas, as long as only Defra-approved fuels are burned.

They are also modified by the manufacturer to limit how much they can be starved of air, which could cause smoke.

Clean Burn Technology

There are a variety of different terms that get discussed when it comes to wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves. The most significant terms are DEFRA exemption, Ecodesign and clean burn. These might seem like marketing buzzwords to the average consumer but they are crucial to think about when selecting your new stove.

A Defra approved stove is an appliance that can be used in smoke control areas if it uses specific types of fuels (mostly logs, briquettes and steam coal that is low volatile). Modern stove manufacturers use special combustion systems with secondary and tertiary airflows to lower the amount of smoke they emit. As a result, they emit less smoke than older open fires and other stoves that are not Defra approved.

This is a part of the government's efforts to ensure the quality of air in urban areas and it works well. A Defra approved stove will deliver the minimum amount of combustion air, which means that there is no smoke, but you still get a generous degree of heat and flames from your log stove.

Most manufacturers will sell a Defra approved version of their stoves and you can easily identify them by looking for Defra exempted terminology or the Defra badge on the listing of the product. If you're not sure about the authenticity of the stove, you can always contact the manufacturer directly or visit an knowledgeable local retailer who will be able to assist you with this.

Stoves that are exempt from defra regulations typically cost more than standard models, however it is important to keep in mind that they have been through extensive testing to ensure they are compliant with strict emission standards. In the long run you will be saving money as your Defra stove will consume less fuel to generate the same amount of heat.

Ecodesign regulations came into effect in the year 2000 and all stoves made after the date of their introduction must be fully in compliance. If you reside in a zone of smoke control you'll require an appliance that is Ecodesign compatible and Defra-exempt (or a Defra-approved model that has passed the strict Defra emission tests). Charnwood has a variety of Defra exempt stoves that are also marked as clearSkies Level 3 which means they have achieved a standard of clear burning.

Low Emissions

Stove manufacturers such as Arada & Stovax are continuously upgrading their stoves to include secondary and tertiary combustion methods that reduce the amount of particles released. The result is not only a stunning stove however, it also emits very small amounts of smoke. This lets you use it in smoke-controlled areas without worrying about hefty fines.

A DEFRA approved stove, also known as DEFRA stoves for sale Smoke Exempt Appliance as they are often referred to as, is a wood burning or DEFRA stove multi fuel stove that has passed rigorous tests set by the UK Government's Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs. These tests determine the maximum levels of emissions stoves can emit and also limit the amount of smoke it produces during normal operation.

These tests also examine how a stove handles smouldering flames. This is when the material that ignites in a wood stove continue to burn after the flames are out. These types of fires release an enormous amount of smoke when they are not completely snuffed out. DEFRA approved stoves use an additional combustion system to re-burn the particulates which are released during the fire.

Many people live in smoke-control zones where it's illegal to use non-Defra certified log burners and stoves. You must install a DEFRA-approved stove to avoid a heavy fine. There are different kinds of Defra approved stoves available to buy. There is a Defra-approved wood burner to fit an inglenook fireplace, or a bigger stove to fit the space.

There are many stoves that are Defra-approved that have a modern style and contemporary design. They can be used within zones that are smoke-free. Typically, they come with large glass doors that allow you to enjoy the warmth and fire from the comfort of your living room.

Certain Defra approved stoves can be modified using an approved manufacturer's kit to make them more DEFRA compatible. This kit stops the air vents at the top of the stove from being closed completely. This is referred to as "slumbering" and could cause combustible material that has not been burned to be released into the air.

Energy Efficiency

A Defra exempt stove is designed to give you a great quantity of heat, while generating very little smoke. They are therefore ideal for areas with smoke control and can be used either with smokeless or wood materials. They are also more efficient and can burn logs more efficiently than non-Defra stoves. They also come with an airwashing system which keeps your glass windows clear. This makes them an attractive, efficient option for the home.

Stoves that have been Defra approved will often be known as "SE" or smoke exempt stoves. They are available from a variety of specialist wood burning stove stores. They can be used in smoke control zones since they have advanced combustion systems that use secondary and tertiary systems in order to reduce harmful emissions. They can also be fitted with smaller flue lines of 5 inches instead of the standard 6 inches that are required by the building regulations.

A DEFRA exempted stove comes with an adjustable top air vent which prevents it being closed completely. This is a common mistake that people make, and can cause the fire to smoulder. It also produces much more smoke. These stoves have an internal limiter which ensures that a certain amount of air is pumped to the fuel so that it doesn't starve and cause excessive smoke.

Stove manufacturers have taken this concept to the next level by creating what is known as Defra plus stoves. These models have been improved to ensure that they not only meet the standards required, but exceed them. The best example of this is the Charnwood ST2 which not only conforms to Defra standards, but also has been given an A+ energy rating and is a clearSkies level 5 compatible. This is an incredible feat that shows that a DEFRA exempt stove can still be extremely efficient and environmentally sustainable. The future looks promising for eco-friendly appliances.

Ideal for Smoke Control Areas

This means that the stove is able to be used with wood and other authorised fuels without producing excessive levels of smoke. A Defra exempt stove will generally have an air vent that can't be completely shut off which allows it to maintain the oxygen supply constant. This allows the wood to burn more efficiently, and reduce emissions and soot.

It is also advisable to look for stoves that have been inspected by DEFRA as being safe to use with a variety of manufactured smokeless fuels like anthracite, lignite and granules. These fuels have been specifically designed to assist the stove in burning cleanly. They should be marked with a 'Ready To burn" logo, which confirms the fuel is compliant with the minimum sulphur levels and smoke emissions.
