There's a wide selection of defra exempt multi fuel stoves that can be used in any home. Defra approved stoves are compliant with the regulations of the government and are designed to efficiently burn fuel with low emissions. This is especially important if you reside in a smoke-control zone. Even if you don't need to, a Defra Stove is more beneficial for your chimney and your neighbours. Defra Approved You may have noticed on our site that a number of our wood-burning stoves are listed as DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. For the average homeowner, these terms may sound like jargon that they don't need to pay attention to, but this could not be further from the truth. DEFRA is the acronym for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and they handle regulations and policies in relation to the environment, agriculture and food. Defra approved stoves have been passed rigorous tests to ensure they abide by the strict regulations of the government regarding the emission of smoke during their operation. These stoves are designed to burn fuels such as wood and coal more efficiently. This means they emit less pollutants. This is a good thing for those who reside in a Smoke Control Area because the law currently prohibits smoke emissions in these areas unless using a DEFRA-approved stove with an approved fuel. In the past, it has been possible to install a non-Defra certified stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you only used approved fuels like wood. As of January 2022, the laws will be changed and stoves that are not approved won't be allowed to be used unless equipped with a secondary or secondary system that reduces the production of particulate matter carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and fireplacesandstove organic gaseous substances. In the case of our Defra approved stoves, they are equipped with a mechanism which will stop you from closing the top air vent all the way down since this could cause the fire to smolder and release smoke into your home. The stoves have an adjustable air feed that lets you open the top vent just a small amount and still have an efficient, safe combustion. A stove that is approved by defra burning mdf can be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is important since there are a variety of construction regulations that require you need an unlined chimney that has at least a 5-inch diameter. Smoke Control Areas If you live in a smoke-control zone you'll require a DEFRA-approved stove to use wood legally within your home. The stoves have been tested by DEFRA to ensure that they meet the strict standards of smoke emissions that are required in areas of smoke control. On the Defra website, you can see a list of areas where a stove that is Defra-approved is required. Multi Stoves for Fuel A Defra approved wood stove, also known as a DEFRA Multi Fuel or Wood Burning Stove, will have passed a strict test designed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. The UK government agency is responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, promoting the agriculture and food industries and sustaining a thriving rural economy. The tests that Defra approved stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance emits only minimal amounts of grit and smoke when it's operating. Stove Supermarket has a range of Defra Exempt Stoves that are multi-fuel stoves. This means you can burn authorised smokeless wood and seasoned fuels. They are often described as Defra stoves or Defra approved woodburners. They are usually abbreviated to SE. In contrast to older stoves that are generally not suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, the latest Defra multi-fuel and woodburning stoves have secondary and tertiary air systems in order to ensure that the wood is fully burned prior to it leaving the chimney. This is a cleaner process than leaving a log on the stove for long periods of time. It can also reduce the amount of smoke that could be produced. If you are in a Smoke Control Area, or considering moving into one, then a Defra exempt stove is a great option for your home. It's not just more environmentally friendly however, it also helps reduce the amount of smoke that can upset your neighbors. You can still use an open flame, barbecues and a pizza oven in your backyard. However, excessive or toxic smoke can be considered a nuisance, and you could be penalized. In the Smoke Control Area, you are not permitted to use open fires or stoves to burn damp, rotten or wet wood or any other fuels. Burning Other Fuels Besides Cars Defra Approved Stoves are made to burn a variety of fuels, including wood. They burn wood so efficiently that they are in compliance with strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke zones of control. This means that you can use them legally in any smoke control zone in the event that you're burning authorised fuels such as logs, pellets and briquettes. Stoves that have been approved by Defra will usually be identified by the an 'SE' logo that is a reference to Smoke Exempt. A Defra-approved stove is different from a standard multifuel stove because it has secondary air vents that heat air prior to it entering the firebox. The pre-heated air helps ensure that all the fuel is ignited and burned, which results in more efficient combustion. This also prevents the build-up of soot and clogs in the chimney. Defra stoves have internal baffles that help control the flames, and maintain a uniform heat distribution. Stoves that are not approved by DEFRA in smoke controlled areas could result in hefty fines from the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). To avoid the risk of being charged by Defra you should purchase and make use of a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested according to the government's strict standards. DEFRA approved traditional Stoves stoves can also be called Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with any type of fuel however, they are most effective with wood that is dry and soft. They are designed with air vents that cannot be closed completely, so the stove will always have oxygen to help ensure clean combustion and minimise the risk of noxious gases and soot. This technology is not only compliant with the current standards for air quality, but also with the future Ecodesign requirements that will come in 2022. Stovax wood-burning stoves and multifuel stoves will be marked with the SIA Ecodesign Ready label, which means they are compliant with the new emission standards that are more stringent. These new standards are part of the government's continuous efforts to keep the air we breathe healthy and clean. Installation If you live in a Smoke Control Area, a Defra-exempt multifuel stove can assist you in complying with the regulations. This is because these multi fuel and wood burning stoves have been independently tested to ensure that they meet the strict standards of smoke emissions required in a Smoke Control Area. These stoves can be used to burn wood or other authorised fuels like coal without worrying about the levels of smoke they produce. Stoves that are DEFRA approved can reduce smoke levels using advanced combustion techniques that produce less smoke. They usually employ an additional stage of combustion that re-burns a portion of the waste materials from the first stage, making them even less polluting and more efficient. These stoves reduce not only the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot that gets into the chimney and flue. If you live in a region that is smoke-controlled it is a good thing to know. You can enjoy a real fireplace more often and for longer. Plus, you will save money on your utility bills. As a result of the reduced levels of pollution, these types of wood-burning and multi fuel stoves are eco-friendly since they can be used to burn a wider variety of materials than other stoves. A simple kit provided by the manufacturer can make many stoves DEFRA-exempt. This changes the air vents of the stove to stop them from being closed down at night. This is referred to as slumbering and allows part-burned combustibles that would otherwise block the flue to escape into the air. DEFRA approved stoves don't slumber, and are more sustainable for the environment. They also block chimneys less often. It is recommended that an HETAS registered installer or a Building Control officer install your DEFRA approved appliance to get the best out of it. This will provide you with the assurance that the installation was done to the proper specifications and is in compliance with the latest regulations. It will also protect your warranty since the installer is able to self-certify their work.
