Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves approved by Defra are an excellent choice for those living in areas with smoke control. They are extremely clean and can burn wood or other approved smokeless fuels.

The Defra logo is usually present on the appliance or written in the specifications to show it is suitable for Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also come with a high energy rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

Many of the wood burning stoves we offer are Defra approved, meaning they have been tested to meet stricter standards for emissions when they are used with wood and other approved fuels. This is due to the fact that these stoves are built to work with a variety of different fuels and have been tested independently to ensure they don't create excessive smoke. A Defra-approved stove will also feature features like secondary and tertiary burns, which maximize the amount of energy consumed and minimize harmful gases.

The Defra approved stoves often include an 'SE' symbol (which is distinctive for smoke exempt) or the word SE after their name. This means that the stove was independently tested and can be employed in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing process involves an array of tests to check on the stove's performance under various conditions, and to confirm that it produces at least 5 grams of particles per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet this standard Defra approved stoves have a modified top air vent that prevents the user from closing it all the way. Closing the top vent to much will decrease the oxygen supply to the fire and cause it to smoulder instead of burn. If you were to do this using a non-Defra endorsed stove, you'd be in violation of law and may be prosecuted for a number of nuisance smoke offenses.

The best way to avoid nuisance smoke when using a wood stove is to buy kiln-dried or seasoned wood. This wood has been dried for a long time which has reduced the moisture content to below 20 percent. You can determine the moisture content of your wood using an easy wood moisture meter.

You can reduce the amount smoke that is produced by a stove that is Defra-approved by using only dry, well-seasoned and well-seasoned logs that have been dried and kiln-fired or spruce. Do not make use of damp, wet or unseasoned wood since this can produce a lot of nuisance smoke and Defra approved stoves could result in an infringement from the local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are designed to meet the strict air quality standards which are set by the government. They can utilize a variety of fuels including wood, as well as some 'authorized smokeless fuels within Smoke Control Areas (see DEFRA's indicative interactive tool here).

Burning untreated wood or other wet fuels, without the use of a DEFRA exempt or approved stove will result in nuisance smoke that can irritate neighbors. This could also impact local air quality when you live in a city. If you are in an area designated as a Smoke Control Area and burn unauthorised fuels or have an appliance that isn't specifically designed to use authorised smokeless fuels, you could be fined or be charged with a criminal offense.

Defra approved stoves are made with secondary and tertiary combustion methods which help burn fuel at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is achieved through stainless steel liners, as well as a convection system which forces air down the chimney after the fire is removed. This allows stoves to burn wood more efficiently and generate less emissions.

A Defra Approved Stove will also feature an adjustment on the top air vent that prevents you from closing it down to the fullest extent. If you cut off the air supply to the stove, it will stop burning properly, and smoulder a lot, and begin to emit smoke. DEFRA compliant stoves approved stoves will permit you to shut the vent a little but not entirely so the fire can continue to burn at an lower temperature, and still be in compliance with UK laws.
