Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra-approved log burning device is a preferred option for homeowners. This is due to the fact that they have a cleaner burning and provide better control of heating costs.

They also allow you to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas which is a big advantage as it can avoid the penalties imposed against those who use stoves that are not approved. They are available in a variety of different styles to suit every home.

Clean Burn Technology

The clean burn technology in defra approved log burners helps to reduce the amount of smoke and particulate matter released during combustion. It has been proven to significantly reduce the health impacts of poor air quality in urban areas, specifically when a traditional wood-burning stove or fireplace is being used. The city of Bergen, for example recognized the importance of taking effective measures to improve their air quality and, as a result, old non-cleanburn stoves are now prohibited in the city. The program to trade in stoves was a great success. Bergen ranked fifth among the 320 European cities in 2021 when it came to its air quality.

To accomplish this, Defra-approved stoves are designed to ensure that the fire always gets enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is achieved by having an additional air feed which allows extra combustion air to flow into the appliance in addition to the main air intake. Typically, a secondary feed is located at the back of the stove underneath or within the fire box of the stove, while a tertiary air intake will be situated in the middle.

Modern, Defra exempt stoves have been through rigorous tests to be legal to burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is if the right kind of wood that is seasoned and kiln dried to less than 20% moisture content. This can be utilized in conjunction with the Defra approved stove.

A Defra-approved stove will also have been tested for the ability to emit no more 3g of smoke per hour, which is the legal limit in all UK towns and city. If the stove is found be emitting excess emissions, the owner could be fined a sum of PS300 or more.

A stove that is Defra-approved will carry a Defra mark on it, as well as an Ecodesign label. This will go into the market in 2022. Ecodesign-compliant stoves must pass strict emission tests and have an efficiency rating of at least 72%. Selecting a stove that has an efficiency rating that is higher will further help reduce the amount of pollution produced by the stove, and will also save you money on heating expenses.

Perfect for Smoke Control Areas

The UK government has set strict emission limits for stoves and fireplaces. The government wants to make the country cleaner and healthier. Many cities and towns homes are within Smoke Control Areas, where the production of dark smoke can be a source of irritation for residents. If you own an older wood burning stove or open fire and you reside in a smoking control zone, it is important to upgrade your appliances to DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves approved Log Burners.

They are greener than traditional log burners and have the most modern clean burning technology. Leading manufacturers like Arada, Burley Parkray & Stovax continue to develop their products, and produce models that have secondary and tertiary systems that further reduce emission. These advanced burners can save you money in the long term on fuel costs.

DEFRA approved or DEFRA Legislation Stoves Exempt are terms that indicate that the stove has passed a test designed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs in the UK. This test ensures the stove can be safely employed in areas with smoke control. The term Defra Exempt may also be applied to certain models that have passed the test and are able to burn smokeless fuels that are approved which are highlighted on a list by Defra. These fuels do not contain wood.

If you own an older stove that is not DEFRA approved and you put it in a smoke-controlled area, you could be fined for violating the law. You can determine whether you are in a zone of smoke control by visiting the official Defra website. In order to avoid a fine, only burn dry wood that has been dried and seasoned, and Defra approved smokeless fuels not logs or other wet woods.

Easy to Clean

Clean your log burner to ensure it is operating properly. This will also help to reduce the buildup of harmful creosote which can cause chimney fires. Regular cleaning will ensure that your stove glass remains clear and clean so you can enjoy a beautiful fire view without obstruction.

There are a variety of tools you can use to aid in the maintenance of your wood burner that include cleaning brushes as well as a ash vacuum cleaner, and polishing your stove. It is crucial to carry out the cleaning procedure when your stove is cool and we recommend wearing gloves that resist heat.

First, employ the grate brush to take away any ash that's accumulated on the bottom of the stove. Be sure to reach all corners and crevices. You can then make use of an ash vacuum to take out any remaining ashes and dispose of them in an aluminum container. Once your stove is completely clean you can apply a polish to your stove using a soft cloth being careful not to contact the hot surface.

It is essential to only burn quality, seasoned wood on your defra-approved log burner to ensure that you're not generating large amounts of particulates. When choosing your firewood, look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo or use a moisture meter to determine if the moisture content is less than 20 percent. Seasoning your own logs is an option, but it could take up to two years for the moisture to evaporate.

It is best to avoid burning stained, painted or chemically treated wood (this includes pallets, MDF and Medium Density Fibreboard). These materials release harmful chemicals when they are burned and should not be burned on a log stove.

It is important to install your log burner properly in order to keep its efficiency and performance. Be sure that it is installed by a certified professional, and that it is located in an location where it won't be subject to drafts. Stoves that are not installed correctly can be dangerous and cause damage, in addition to reducing its performance and increasing operating costs.

Energy Efficient

Defra-approved log burners are typically more energy efficient than their competitors. This is due to the fact that they have passed the tests that ensure that the right amount of air is pumped to the wood or multi fuel burning stove during the process of combustion. This reduces the amount of smoke that is produced and it also reduces emissions and heat losses from the stove.

When you purchase a wood burner that is exempt from defra you can be certain that it is going to be safe for use in your chimney as it will have the flue size of 5" (150mm). Non-Defra approved stoves have a larger chimney outlet, which can cause problems when installing a chimney liner. At The Stove Yard we can provide a selection of 5" chimney liners for your wood stove or multi fuel defra exempt stove.

The majority of the stoves we sell at The Stove Yard are Defra approved and feature the latest clean burning technology. Many of our models have secondary and tertiary feeds that use air to ensure that the fuel is burning. This improves the efficiency of the stove and reduces the amount of smoke generated.

Another benefit of a Defra approved log burner is that it permits you to legally use it in a Smoke Control Area. UK cities and large towns are classified as Smoke Control Areas. To comply with the law you must use a DEFRA approved appliance when burning wood or smokeless coal.

You can also purchase a defra approved stove that is certified by clearSkies to show that it meets the latest Ecodesign emission standards that came into force a year ago. If you live in the Smoke Control Area then this will be the ideal choice for you as it will make your stove more eco-friendly and in compliance with the law. The ESSE 700 Vista is one instance of an extremely stylish and highly effective Defra Approved log burner that has the option to be equipped with an smoke control kit when needed.
