Choosing a Defra Approved Or Smoke Exempt Stove

If you live in an area that is a Smoke Controlled area then choosing a DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt stove is crucial. They not only comply with building regulations, they also ensure that you are legally able to burn wood and multi fuels inside your home.

Stove manufacturers are always improving their products by adding secondary and tertiary components that reduce emissions.

Defra Approved

If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled, you will need a stove that is DEFRA registered stoves-approved. This is because the UK government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has laws in place to prevent emissions of dark smoke from chimneys in smoke controlled areas (most large towns and cities). Defra Approved stoves have been thoroughly tested and scrutinized to ensure they are in compliance with the laws. They are specifically designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce considerably less pollutants. They are the best choice for you and your neighbours, as the smoke levels will be reduced to an acceptable level. Stoves that are Defra approved will also display the logo, and the words SE (smoke-exempt) and defra exemption on their title and specifications.

Most of the wood-burning and multi fuel stoves we offer are Defra approved. This is because we endeavor to source top quality products and we hope that our customers will be capable of getting the most benefit from their stove. The stoves that are approved by Defra have a higher efficiency than non-approved models. This means they produce much less particulate matter. This, in turn, reduces the amount of dark smoke produced. Defra-approved stoves tend to have a more robust firebox that can help reduce smoke emissions.

Defra approved appliances will not just reduce the amount of smoke that is produced and also ensure that the air that is used for combustion remains constant throughout the entire burning process. This will prevent the stove from becoming starved of air which causes it to smolder or release dark smoke. As they gain popularity the majority of stove manufacturers are now incorporating Defra Approved Models into their product range.

Defra approved stoves are not only a great choice for those who live in areas that have smoke control, but they are a great choice for Defra stoves anyone who wants to increase the safety and efficiency of their fireplace and reduce the amount of harmful substances released into the atmosphere. They are also an excellent option for those who are thinking of having your chimney lined with a stainless steel twin wall flexible liner. Since the majority of Defra approved models come with 5" outlet, this will allow them to be fitted with a 125mm liner, rather than the standard 6" outlet, which can reduce the cost of the liner and installation.

Some people choose to slumber the stove for a night by closing the top vent and let it burn slowly. This can lead to a buildup of soot and other tars which can block your chimney. A Defra approved stove won't allow you to shut the top vent down completely, since this could cause the fire to cease. It will also be more likely to release any combustibles that are not burned into the air which is better for the environment and is far less likely to clog your chimney.

Exempt from Defra

If you're in search of a wood burning stove, you will often come across the term Defra Exempt or DEFRA Approved. This usually means a wood burning stove or multi fuel stove that is approved for use in Smoke Controlled Area.

These appliances typically achieve this status by undergoing rigorous testing and examination to ensure that they are operating at ultra low levels of emissions. This is accomplished by using secondary combustion, where the waste products of the combustion process are re-burnt to reduce the amount of pollutants that are released into the air. This makes DEFRA Approved stoves the ideal choice for those who live in a smoke controlled area and want to be sure that they have an appliance that is legal to use.

Typically, a Defra Exempt stove will be identified with an SE logo or labelled as a DEFRA Stove. This means that the stove has passed a test designed by the UK government's Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) to prove that it produces very little smoke when it is used in a proper manner. This is the reason Defra stoves are the only wood-burning stove that is legal to install in Smoke Controlled areas.

A Defra approved wood-burning stove can also help to keep your chimney and flue system clean since they are engineered to burn wood much more cleanly than other types of stove. This is because of an advanced combustion process that allows airflow into the firebox.

As well as this, Defra approved wood burning stoves are generally designed to be very energy efficient. This is accomplished through the latest technologies to ensure that the maximum amount of heat is absorbed from the fuel, and then transferred to your living space. You will also benefit from lower heating expenses as well as more secure, cleaner and a more eco-friendly home.
