What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra certified multi fuel stove is one that has passed the Defra smoke tests. They are also known as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The government Defra department oversees rules and regulations concerning the rural, agricultural and environmental issues. The Defra test ensures you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels, such as Anthracite ovals in an area that is smoke-free without upsetting your neighbours with annoying smoke.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves are designed to emit a minimum amount of carbon dioxide, by making use of fuel efficiently and using sustainable materials. They typically use wood or a combination of fuels that are approved and are designed with ecological considerations in the back of their minds. There are many eco-friendly multi-fuel stoves as well as log burners available, from traditional to modern models. Some eco-friendly stoves make use of dung as a sustainable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.

The most important thing you can do to ensure that your stove is eco-friendly is to ensure that the fuel is properly seasoned, or dried and kiln-fired. This reduces the moisture content of the wood and enables it to burn more efficiently. It is also a great idea to buy only wood from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when buying wood to ensure it has been dried to an appropriate level.

Most newer stoves are made to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require that stove manufacturers create wood burning stoves that are energy efficient and with environmental protection in the back of their minds. Ecodesign stoves must consider emissions, resource efficiency, and waste reduction. This makes them some of the cleanest and greenest stoves on the market.

Replace the grates on your stove with ceramic grates. This will make it more environmentally friendly. It is not just aesthetically pleasing but also anti-smoking, and helps reduce the amount of sulphur oxide that is in the air. Ceramic grates also have a longer span and are easier to clean than steel grate inserts.

In a Smoke Control Area you can still enjoy a wood burner or multi-fuel stove. However, it is essential to use only fuels that have been approved by Defra. You could be in violation of the law if you do not. You should only use fuels approved by Defra, such as anthracite-based round manufactured by Defra in your stove.

Clean Burning

A Defra approved multi fuel stove can be used in smoke-controlled areas when it is burning authorised smokeless fuel only. It can be a smokeless log, anthracite or a naturally occurring or manufactured product. Stove manufacturers must adhere to the regulations in order to create a DEFRA exempt wood burner available for sale. The Stove Yard has a an extensive selection of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves by leading brands like Arada, Parkray and Burley.

These types of Defra exempt stoves come with the latest combustion technology designed to reduce the amount of emissions and tar build-up in your chimney and flue system. They employ the most advanced secondary and tertiary airflow systems to ignite particulates and tar gases before they are released into the air. This is what makes a DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves approved stove much less polluting than older stoves that burn wood and open fires.

The design of a stove that is Defra-approved is different. Most of our stoves have an internal mechanism that allows for the continuous flow of air to the fire, even when the vents for air have been closed. This is to stop soot and ash being carried up the chimney, which can hinder the stove's performance and result in dangerous chimney fires.

This is a crucial feature for those who live in a smoke-free area The new Defra approved stoves don't allow you to shut the vents completely and then sleep on your stove for the night which can send part-burned combustibles into the atmosphere.

A DEFRA approved stove will also offer you an extended burn time than older non-Defra models, but it's important to note that if you changed your authorised fuel for smokeless coal and you wanted to slumber your stove overnight then this could reduce the burn time as the constant supply of air required for slumber burning would curb the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Reduced Emissions

If properly used the DEFRA-exempt stove will produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles, which could cause a variety of health problems, including heart conditions and lung disease, when inhaled.

The high combustion efficiency provided by a recommended DEFRA stoves-approved wooden burner reduces the amount harmful particles and pollutants released during the burning process. This greatly reduces the impact on the environment, particularly in urban areas where pollution levels are very high.

As well as cutting harmful emissions In addition, the efficiency of a stove reduces the cost of heating your home. Using an DEFRA approved wood-burning stove instead of gas boilers that are conventional will reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on your energy costs.

If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's vital that your stove be DEFRA approved (or Smoke Exempt) as it allows you to burn Defra Approved fuels, such as manufactured smokeless ovals such as Anthracite or Homefire as well as dried wood and other approved fuels. This will allow you to enjoy your fireplace without having to worry about whether the smoke will disturb your neighbours.

Many stoves are, in addition to being DEFRA compliant stoves certified, are tested in accordance with clearSkies standards and are able to be labeled with the clearSkies label. The clearSkies mark is an independent scheme that requires stove makers to display information about their appliances efficiency and emissions, making it easier for consumers to make an informed decision. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating and emissions, as well as its size and type.

It is important to keep in mind that, as with Ecodesign the clearSkies regulations are merely minimum standards, and manufacturers can exceed these. ESSE, for example, has engineered its latest stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning and produce less particulates, without sacrificing performance or control. This latest advancement utilizes patented twin catalytic combustion technology that recycles the smoke particles it releases drastically reducing their impact on the atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke-controlled zone and you use a DEFRA Approved Stove with a top-quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll get as much heat, or perhaps more, from the same amount dry wood than the same amount of wood burned in a non DEFRA Approved Stove. In fact, it could be as much as 24 per cent cheaper to heat your home with an newest DEFRA Approved stove than with conventional gas boilers.

In compliance with Building Regulations

They can therefore be used them in areas that have large number of buildings. We install and supply DEFRA approved log stoves made by top brands like Mi-fires or Contura.

You can also safely burn wood, peat, and other solid fuels using a DEFRA endorsed stoves-approved multi-fuel stove. It is important to be aware that some fuels are prohibited for use in Smoke Control Areas, so it's essential to be familiar with local guidelines and restrictions.

DEFRA approved stoves come with a built-in ventilation system that delivers enough air to the combustion process. This ensures that your home is always well ventilated and safe for use.

DEFRA approved stoves also have a minimum size of 550mm2, which means they can be used combination with a standard dualwall system. Our vast selection of flue liners is compatible with DEFRA approved stoves, meaning you can upgrade your existing fireplace to ensure it is compliant with the most recent emission requirements.

Look for the DEFRA symbol on the stove's packaging, or online. This information is also available on numerous reputable retailers' websites and in stores' displays.
