Defra Approved

You may have noticed on our website that many of our wood burning stoves are listed as DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. For the average homeowner, these terms might sound like jargon that they don't need to be aware of but that isn't the truth.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are accountable for policies and regulations relating to agriculture, food and the environment. Defra approved stoves have been passed a rigorous test to ensure they adhere to the strict regulations of the government regarding emissions of smoke during operation. These stoves are also designed to burn approved fuels like wood and coal more efficiently, meaning that they produce far fewer pollutants.

This is a good thing for those who reside in a Smoke Control Area, as the law currently prohibits smoke emissions in these areas unless using a DEFRA-approved stove and an approved fuel. In the past, it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long you used only approved fuels. From January 2022, the laws will change and non-approved stoves aren't allowed to be used unless they are equipped with a secondary and third-party system that will reduce the production of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and organic gaseous substances.

Our Defra approved ranges are also equipped with a mechanism that prevents you from closing the top air vent completely. This can cause the fire to ignite and release smoke into your home. The stoves have an adjustable air supply that lets you open the top vent a small amount and still have an efficient, safe burning.

Another benefit of purchasing a defra approved energy-efficient stoves approved stove is that it comes with a 5-inch chimney liner. This is important because there are numerous building regulations that state that you must have a chimney with at least a 5-inch diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

DEFRA has tested these stoves to ensure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions required in smoke control zones. You can find the list of areas in which you need a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

Multifuel stoves and stoves exempt from Defra

A Defra approved stove, also referred to as a DEFRA multi wood burning stove or fuel, will have passed a stringent test designed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The UK government body 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 clear are designed to ensure that the appliance emits only minimal amounts of grit and smoke when it is in operation.

Stove Supermarket stocks a number of Defra Exempt Stoves that are multi-fuel stoves. This means that you can use smokeless wood that is authorised and well-seasoned fuels. These stoves are referred to as Defra stoves, Defra approved wooden burners and are abbreviated SE.

The most recent Defra multi-fuel stoves and woodburning stoves come with secondary and tertiary air ventilation systems that ensure the wood is completely burned prior to leaving the chimney. This is a more efficient method than simply leaving a log fire on the fire to burn for a long time and reduces the amount smoke that could be emitted.

If you are in a Smoke Control Area, or considering moving to one, then a Defra exempt stove is an excellent choice for your property. It's not only more eco-friendly, but it also helps to reduce the amount of smoke that can make your neighbors angry.

You can still use open fires, barbecues, and pizza ovens in your garden but remember that smoke that is toxic or excessive could be a statutory nuisance and you could be fined. In an area designated as a Smoke Control Area it is not permitted to use open flames or stoves that burn damp, rotten, or wet wood or any other fuels.

Burning Other Fuels Besides Cars

Defra Approved Stoves are made to burn different types of fuels including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they meet the strict regulations of the government for emissions when operating in smoke zones of control. They can be used in any smoke-control zone, so long as they're burning approved fuels, such as pellets, briquettes, and logs. Stoves that have been certified by Defra will be marked with a SE' symbol, which stands for Smoke Exempt.

A Defra-approved stove is different from a conventional multifuel stove because it has secondary air vents that heat air before it enters into the firebox. The pre-heated, heated air ensures that all fuel is ignited to create a cleaner burning. This also helps prevent the accumulation of soot that can block the chimney. DEFRA certified stoves stoves also have internal baffle plates that help to regulate the flames and ensure an evenly distributed heat distribution.

The use of non-Defra-approved stoves in smoke controlled areas could result in substantial fines from the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA recommended stoves). To avoid the risk of being charged by Defra you should purchase and make use of a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested to meet the government's strict standards.

DEFRA stoves are also known as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with all kinds of fuel, but they are especially suited to dry wood, both soft and hard. The air vents aren't closed completely, so there is always oxygen available to support pure combustion.

This technology is not just compatible with the current standards for air quality of the government, but also with future Ecodesign requirements that will be in place in 2022. A large portion of Stovax multi-fuel and wood burning stoves we offer will carry this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which indicates that they comply with these new stricter emissions standards. These new standards are part of the government's ongoing efforts to keep the air we breathe healthy and clean.

Installation

If you are in a smoke-free zone then a DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves exempt multi fuel stove can assist you in complying with the regulations. These wood-burning and multi fuel stoves have been independently tested to ensure that they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions that are required in a smoke control zone. These stoves can be used to burn wood or other authorized fuels, such as coal, without concern about the amount of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA certified can reduce smoke levels through advanced combustion technology that produces less smokiness. These stoves employ an additional stage of combustion, which recycles waste products from the first stage. This makes them more efficient and cleaner. These stoves can reduce not only the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot that gets into the chimney and flue.

This is an excellent option especially if you live in a smoke controlled zone as it means you can sit in front of a real fire more often and longer, with the added benefit of having lower utility bills. These wood burning and multi-fuel stoves are good for the environment since they release less pollution. They can also be utilized to burn more materials than other stoves.

A simple kit provided by the manufacturer can make a majority of stoves DEFRA-exempt. This kit changes the air vents on the stove so that they are not closed at night. This is known as slumbering, and allows part-burned combustibles and flammables to escape into the air instead of being pushed up the chimney where they can block the flue. DEFRA approved stoves do not slumber and are better for the environment. They also prevent chimneys from being blocked less often.

To get the most benefit of your DEFRA approved stove, it is recommended that you have it professionally installed by an HETAS Registered Installer or an Building Control Officer.
