Clean Burn Technology

We offer a variety of wood burning stoves which are approved by the Defra. This means that they meet stricter emission standards when they are used with wood or other approved fuels. The stoves have been tested independently and designed to burn a range of fuels. A stove that is Defra-approved will have features like secondary and tertiary burns which can maximize the amount of energy and minimise harmful gasses.

The stoves that are Defra approved typically include an 'SE' symbol (which stands out for smoke exempt) or the word SE after their name. This means that the stove was independently tested and is able to be employed in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing procedure includes a series tests to check the stove's performance in different conditions, and also to confirm that it produces at least 5 grams of particulates per kg when burning wood.

To meet the requirements of this standard, Defra-approved stoves have a modified top air control that prevents the user from closing the top vent completely. The air vent at the top that is closed too tightly will limit the flow of oxygen into the fire, which causes it to smolder instead of burning. If you did this on an non Defra approved stove, you would be breaking the law and could be prosecuted for violations of nuisance smoking.

You can also limit the amount of nuisance smoke generated by your Defra approved stove by using dry, well-seasoned, kiln-dried, or spruce logs. Never burn wet, damp or unseasoned wood. This can create a lot more smoke and could result in you being fined by the local authority.

Defra approved stoves are constructed with secondary and tertiary combustion systems which help burn fuel at lower temperatures, which in turn produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is accomplished by the use of stainless steel liners and a unique convection mechanism that pushes air down the chimney even when the fire has been put out. This allows the stove to burn wood and other fuels more efficiently, DEFRA Compliant Stoves while emitting significantly less carbon dioxide.
