Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There's a huge selection of defra exempt multi fuel stoves that will fit in with any home. Defra approved stoves meet government regulations and are designed to burn fuel efficiently with low emissions.

This is especially important when you live in a smoke-control zone. Even if you don't have a smoke control area, the Defra Stove is better for your chimney, and your neighbors.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed on our website that many of our wood burning stoves are listed as being DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. To the average home owner, these terms may sound like jargon that homeowners don't have to be aware of, but this could not be further from the reality.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are accountable for the policies and regulations related to food, agriculture and the environment. Defra approved products have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure that they comply with the strict guidelines of the government regarding smoke emissions during operation. These stoves are also designed to burn authorised fuels such as coal and wood more efficiently, meaning that they produce less pollutants.

This is a great news for those who live in a Smoke Control Area since the law currently bans the release of smoke within such areas, unless you are using a DEFRA approved stove and an authorised fuel. In the past, it was possible to install a non-Defra approved stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you used only approved fuels such as wood. As of January 2022, the rules will be changed and stoves that are not approved won't be allowed to be used unless they're fitted with a secondary and third-party system that will reduce their production of particulate, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

In the case of our Defra approved stoves, they are also equipped with a mechanism which will stop you from closing the top air vent all the way down as this can cause the fire to get smoldering and release smoke into your room. The stoves have an adjustable air flow that lets you open the top vent just a little and still maintain a safe, efficient combustion.

Another benefit of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it comes with a 5-inch chimney liner. This is important as many codes for building require chimneys to be at least 5 inches in diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you reside in a smoke-free zone you'll require a Defra approved stove if you want to legally burn wood in 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 site, you will see a list of areas that require a Defra-approved stove.

Multi Stoves for Fuel

A Defra approved wood stove, also known as a DEFRA Multi Fuel or Wood Burning Stove is one that has been through a rigorous test developed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. The UK government agency responsible for ensuring the protection of our natural environment, supporting the food and agriculture industries and ensuring a flourishing rural economic. The tests that Defra approved stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance produces low levels of smoke and grit while it is in use.

A lot of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are also multi fuel stoves that allow you to burn approved smokeless fuels and seasoned wood. They are often referred to as Defra stoves or Defra approved woodburners. They are often abbreviated as SE.

Contrary to older stoves, which are generally not suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, the latest Defra woodburning and multi-fuel stoves come with secondary and tertiary air systems to ensure that the wood is fully burned before it exits the chimney. This is more efficient than simply putting a piece of wood on the fire for long periods of time. It can also reduce the amount of smoke that is produced.

If you live or plan to move into an area designated as a Smoke Control Area then a Defra-exempt stove will be an excellent option for you. Not only is it more sustainable, but it will help to minimise the nuisance smoke that can irritate your neighbours.

You can still use open fires, barbecues, and pizza ovens in your garden but be aware that toxic or excessive smoke could be a nuisance for the law and you may be fined. It is also prohibited to burn wet, damp or rotting wood, or other fuels in an open flame or stove in an area designated as a Smoke Control Area.

Burning Other Fuels Other Than Petroleum

Defra Approved stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they comply with the strict regulations of the government for emissions when operating in smoke zones for control. This means that you can use them legally in any smoke control zone provided you're burning fuels that are approved, such as logs, pellets and briquettes. Stoves that have been authorised by Defra will be branded with the SE' logo that stands for Smoke Exempt.

A stove that is Defra-approved differs from a conventional multifuel stove in that it has secondary air vents that pre-heat air prior to it entering the firebox. The pre-heated air helps ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, which results in an efficient combustion process. This also prevents the build-up of soot and blockages in the chimney. Defra stoves also have internal baffle plates which help to regulate the flames and ensure an evenly distributed heat distribution.

Defra could impose heavy penalties on anyone who uses appliances that are not approved by Defra in smoke-controlled areas. If you want to avoid being charged by Defra, only use a DEFRA-approved stove that has been inspected in accordance with the government's guidelines.

DEFRA stoves are also known as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with all types of fuel but are ideally suited for dry soft and hard wood. They're built with air vents that cannot be completely closed so the stove will always receive oxygen to help ensure pure combustion and minimize noxious gases and soot.

This technology is not only compliant with the current government's standards for air quality, but also the upcoming Ecodesign requirements that will come in 2022. Stovax wood-burning stoves and multifuel stoves will be branded with the SIA Ecodesign Ready label, which means they are compliant with the new stricter emission standards. These new standards are part of the government's ongoing efforts to ensure that the air we breathe clean and healthy.

Installation

If you are in a smoke control area then a Defra exempt multi fuel stove can help you comply with the regulations. These wood-burning and multi fuel appliances have been tested by independent experts to ensure that they meet the strict standards of smoke emission that are required in a smoke control area. These stoves can burn wood, or other fuels such as coal without worrying about the amount of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA certified can reduce smoke levels using advanced combustion technology that creates less smokiness. These stoves employ the second stage of combustion, which burns the waste products that were burned in the first stage. This makes them cleaner and more efficient. In addition to reducing emissions they also reduce the amount of soot that accumulates in the chimney and flue.

This is an excellent option if you reside in a smoke-free zone as it means you can enjoy a real fire more often and for longer, with the added benefit of lower utility bills. These multi-fuel and wood burning stoves are great for the environment as they produce less pollution. They can also be utilized to burn more materials than other stoves.

Most stoves can be transformed into DEFRA exempt by using the simple kit supplied by the manufacturer. This alters the air vents of the stove to prevent them from being closed down at night. This is referred to as slumbering and it allows part-burned combustibles that could otherwise block the flue to be released into atmosphere. premium DEFRA stoves approved stoves don't slumber and are therefore much more eco-friendly and are less likely to block the chimney.

To make the most of your DEFRA approved stove it is recommended you have it professionally installed by an HETAS Registered Installer or a Building Control Officer. You will have peace of assurance that the installation was done according to the correct specifications, and that it is compliant with latest regulations. It will also protect your warranty as the installer is able to self-certify their work.
