DEFRA stands for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and they handle regulations and policies concerning the environment, farming and food. Defra approved stoves have passed a rigorous test to ensure that they comply with the government's strict rules for the emission of smoke during their operation. They are also designed to burn approved fuels such as wood and coal more efficiently, which means that they emit less pollution.

This is a good thing for those who reside in Smoke Control Area, as the law currently prohibits smoke emissions within these areas, unless you use a DEFRA-approved stove and an approved fuel. In the past, it has been possible to install a non-Defra-approved stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you used only approved fuels like wood. As of January 2022, the rules will be altered and stoves that aren't approved will not be permitted to be used unless they're fitted with a secondary and secondary system that reduces their productions of particulate, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and organic gaseous substances.

Our DEFRA permitted stoves approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism that stops you from closing the top air vent completely. This can cause the fire smouldering and emitting smoke into your home. Instead, these stoves feature an adjustable air supply that lets you open the top vent a little and still keep a safe and efficient burn.

Another advantage of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it is able to be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is important as there are many building regulations which state that you need an elongated chimney with at least a 5-inch diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

The stoves have been tested by premium DEFRA stoves to ensure that they meet the strict smoke emissions standards that are required in areas of smoke control. You can see the list of areas where you require a Defra approved stove on the DEFRA approved contemporary stoves website.

The tests Defra approved stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance only produces low levels of smoke and grit when it is in use.

Stove Supermarket offers a variety of Defra Exempt Stoves that are multi-fuel stoves. This means you can burn smokeless, authorised wood as well as well-seasoned fuels. They are usually called Defra stoves or Defra approved woodburners and 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 feature secondary and tertiary air systems that ensure that the wood is fully burned prior to exiting the chimney. This is a cleaner process than simply putting a piece of wood on the stove for long periods of time. It also reduces the amount nuisance smoke that could be produced.

Burning Other Fuels Other Than Petroleum

DEFRA certified stoves Approved stoves are made to burn a wide range of fuels including wood. They burn wood so efficiently that they meet the strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke control zones. This means that they can be used legally in any area of smoke control provided you're burning authorised fuels like pellets, logs and brquettes. Stoves that have been certified by Defra will be marked with a SE' symbol that stands for Smoke Exempt.

What is it that makes the Defra approved stove different to standard multifuel stoves is that they have air vents that heat the air before it enters the firebox. This pre-heated air helps to ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, leading to a cleaner combustion process. It also reduces soot build in the chimney and keeps it from clogging. Defra stoves have internal baffles that help regulate the flames and ensure a uniform heat distribution.

Defra could impose heavy penalties on anyone who uses a non-Defra approved appliance in areas with smoke control. To avoid the risk of being accused of trespassing by Defra you should only purchase and use a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested according to the government's strict standards.

DEFRA stoves are also referred to as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used for all kinds of fuel but they are best suited to wood that is dry and soft. They're built with air vents that can't be closed completely, so the stove will always have oxygen to ensure the clean combustion process and reduce the risk of noxious gases and soot.

This technology is not only compatible with the current air quality standards of the government as well as with the future Ecodesign requirements that will be in place in 2022. Many of the Stovax wood burning and multi-fuel stoves we offer will carry this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which indicates that they comply with the new, stricter emission standards. These new standards are being introduced as part of the government's continued efforts to ensure that the air in the country is clean and healthy.

Installation

If you live in a Smoke Control Zone, 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 smoke emissions standards required in a Smoke Control Area. These stoves can be used to burn wood or other approved fuels such as coal without having to worry about the quantity of smoke they generate.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved are able to reduce smoke levels by using advanced combustion technology that creates less smoke. These stoves use the second stage of combustion that burns the waste products that were burned in the first stage. This makes them more efficient and cleaner. They reduce not just the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot that gets into the chimney and flue.

This is a great benefit if you live in a smoke controlled area as it means that you can sit in front of a real fire more often and for longer with the additional benefit of lower energy bills. As a result of the less pollution, these kinds of wood-burning and multi fuel stoves are also good for the environment as they can be used to burn a wider variety of materials than other stoves.

The majority of stoves can be made DEFRA exempt by using an easy manufacturer-supplied kit. This changes the air vents on the stove to prevent them from being closed down at night. This is known as slumbering, and allows part-burned combustibles to be released into the air instead of going up the chimney, where they could cause obstruction to the flue. DEFRA approved stoves do not slumber and are better for the environment. They also tend to block chimneys less often.

To get the most out of your DEFRA approved stove it is recommended you have it installed professionally by an HETAS registered installer or a Building Control Officer. You will have peace of peace of mind knowing that the installation was completed in accordance to the correct specifications and that it is compliant with current regulations. In addition, it can also help to ensure your warranty since the installer can self-certify their work.
