The UK government requires all households in Smoke Control Areas to only use exempt appliances and authorised fuels. Stove Supermarket has a selection of defra exempt stoves that comply with the regulations.
Clean Burning
Defra approved stoves are subjected tests in order to ensure that they produce low emissions. This allows you to legally burn smokeless fuels in a smoke-free zone. These stoves are typically HETAS-approved and have an 'clearSkies' rating which means they comply with the strictest regulations for emissions.
These stoves are constructed with Clean Burn Technology to ensure that the wood isn't cut off from oxygen, which would cause it to smolder or create black smoke. This allows the stove to keep a steady low level of combustion until all the fuel has been consumed. It is common to see that a defra-exempt stove comes with a secondary airflow system that ensures that briquettes that are part-burnt and other solid fuel are burned in a controlled way that reduces harmful gases and particles.
You can buy an array of various styles of defra certified multi fuel stoves, which include various contemporary and traditional designs available. They are perfect for installation into an existing fireplace chamber or inglenook. Many of these models are manufactured by leading brands such as Arada, Stovax, Burley and Parkray and feature the latest technology in clean burning stoves. They offer high heating efficiency as well as secondary and tertiary combustion systems that remove smoke particles before they are drawn up the chimney.
Whether you live within a smoke-control area or not, a Defra-approved log burner is the ideal for any home. These stoves can be operated with natural wood or solid fuel that is smokeless. You can easily switch between both using the reversible control on your stove. This gives you complete flexibility and versatility, which allows you to use your stove all year long.
To comply with the building codes, a defra exempt stove is required to be installed by a qualified installer. The installer can confirm that the appliance complies with current regulations and is suitable for regular usage. At Choice Stoves, we have a team of HETAS certified installers who can fit your new stove safely and properly, ensuring you comply with the government's smoke emission regulations.
Low Emission Vehicles
The UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs manages regulations and policies regarding the natural environment, agriculture, food issues and much more. Smoke control is one of the most important areas they manage. This includes the prohibition of dark smoke from chimneys in urban areas.
If you reside in a large or city town - also called a smoke controlled area - you'll require a DEFRA approved stove to burn wood and other solid fuels in a legal manner and avoid upsetting your neighbours with noisy smoke. DEFRA stoves have been developed to pass rigorous tests for emissions and reduce their output. They are therefore more environmentally friendly than older models.
In addition to being compliant with the environmental standards, DEFRA multifuel stoves are generally more efficient than traditional open fires and wood burners. This means that you will heat your room faster with less wood and release fewer harmful gases into the air, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of your home.
If you are shopping for a multifuel or wood burning stove, look out for the DEFRA approved logo. It is usually displayed on the stove's specifications or title and is often followed by a 'SE' which stands for Smoke Exempt. If you see it then you know that the stove has passed DEFRA's stringent tests and can be burned in a smoke-control room using authorised fuels.
Many people believe that a multi-fuel stove that has been approved by DEFRA can only be used with smokeless fuels such as firelogs or briquettes. But this isn't strictly correct. In fact so long as you burn fuels that are approved for burning in your DEFRA stove and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe operation, you can use most solid fuels in the DEFRA approved stove, which includes the seasoned hardwood.
You'll benefit the most from your DEFRA Multifuel Stove when you make use of only dry, seasoned, and seasoned wood that has less than 20 percent. Using wet wood will create excessive smoke and may void your warranty. In the same way, mineral fuels should have a sulphur level below 2% to avoid excessively thick ash deposits.
Versatility
There's a variety of styles available with designs ranging from traditional that can be incorporated into an existing fireplace or inglenook, to contemporary stoves that are perfect for homes without a pre-installed fire surround. Multi fuel stoves that are Defra approved can be fitted with a multi fuel grate allowing you to burn wood, logs and smokeless coal. This gives you additional heating options. However if you intend to make use of your stove for slumber burning (overnight) then it is recommended that you use a Defra approved wood burner is not suitable because it requires a constant supply of air.
If you reside in a zone that has smoke control then an Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove is essential. These stoves are designed to permit the burning of wood and smokeless fuels without emitting harmful pollutants into the air. A Defra-approved stove will allow you to comply with local laws and help avoid costly fines.
Defra-approved stoves use the most advanced combustion technology to burn wood and other solid fuels in a clean manner. They do this by delivering the correct amount of air into the firebox, thereby preventing fuel being starved of oxygen. This stops combustibles that have not been fully burned, such as soot and ash, from being blown through the chimney and into the room. This means you're less likely to experience blocked chimneys, and that's good news for the environment as well.
