If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, you will need a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves provide plenty of heat, flames and light while releasing hardly any smoke.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray and Stovax have developed a selection of traditional Defra stoves that feature the latest technology for clean burning. These stoves are capable of burning many different types of fuel including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood burning stoves utilize the most modern combustion techniques to ensure a clean and efficient burning. They do this by ensuring that the fire is not being depleted of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burned will not escape up the chimney into the atmosphere, where they can cause pollution.

These approved wood stoves from Defra are better for your chimney and flue since they emit less smoke. This can keep them cleaner longer, cut down on maintenance costs and enhance the efficiency of your wood stove.

Additionally, Defra wood stoves are perfect for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They permit burning wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a variety of sizes and outputs available to suit different homes, so you will be able to find the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

Be aware that only stoves that are Defra-approved can be used in smoke-controlled areas as they are pre-approved for burning fuels that are approved by the government. You may be penalized if you burn non-approved fuels in your stove that is Defra-approved.

If you're in search of an extremely efficient Defra approved stove take a look at the Stovax ST2. This wood burning stove that is Defra-approved has a stunning ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient, with an air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1. Smoke emissions are very low at 0.26g/h.

This stove not only meets DEFRA emission standards, but it has also been independently tested to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and is suitable for use in smoke-controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than older open fires and stoves.

The best Defra-approved stoves are those made of hard, untreated wood that is dry and has a a moisture content below 20 percent. This will not only help ensure that the stove functions correctly, but also produce less smoke and increase the capacity of heating.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means they have been checked to be as efficient as possible and as clean burning as the EU permits. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies" scheme.

The primary benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it will produce considerably less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with a constant supply of air. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being starved of air during the process of combustion and thus reduces the amount of black smoke it produces.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particles than earlier models. This is important as particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body, settling in the lungs as well as the heart. This can lead to serious health issues and even premature death.

The EU wants to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that the latest models produce less harmful pollutant. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory problems.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan aims to reduce the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require a dramatic reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners.

One of the ways it intends to achieve this is by making it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's essential to buy a DEFRA-approved stove.

We have a variety of Defra Stoves which include the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove, which starts at PS420. They are all suitable for use in smoke-free areas and are available in a range of styles to fit your home.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a string of tests and tests to be in compliance with Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to efficiently burn fuel by reducing harmful pollutants.

If you live in a smoke controlled area, then you need a DEFRA approved stove is essential. You can use approved fuels, such as wood and multifuels, which are prohibited if you're not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved may be called SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra approved logo means the stove has been independently tested and is able to burn wood in the smoke control zone without producing nuisance smoke. It is a great sign that the manufacturer has gone further than the norm to ensure compliance with the regulations.

Some stoves have been fitted with a top air control adjusted to ensure that it can't be shut completely. Close the air supply of the stove to stop it from burning and releasing black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved allow you to burn wood with a 5" liner, whereas stoves that are not approved by DEFRA require a 6" flue liner. This is too large for many UK chimneys.

Another good reason to select a Defra wood burning stove is that they are greener than older models of woodburners or open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax feature secondary and tertiary combustion systems to reduce their carbon emissions, which helps to reduce their user's carbon footprint.

Alongside providing a variety of advantages, Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles that will be a perfect fit for your home. Some are more imposing than others, such as the Arizona A08E woodburner with its large heat output and a large glass viewing window, whereas others are more subtle such as the minimal Farringdon stove made by Aarrow. You can even have an DEFRA stove incorporated in a recess like the Aarrow I400 cassette stove for a clean, sleek finish to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are made to meet or exceed emission standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they do not release of pollutants released into the atmosphere. They also provide more warmth using less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves a great option for those looking to save money on fuel while having the warm and comfortable sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that are EPA certified can use a smaller flue, saving you money on installation. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency can also increase the heat capacity of your stove and save you money on cost of fuel.

The EPA certification requires that stoves be tested according to strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also helps manufacturers maintain quality standards, and ensures that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low levels of nitrous oxide and particulate emissions levels, which means they will not release harmful gases into the air. This can be a huge benefit for homeowners living in areas with smoke control regulations.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, you can only burn certain types of fuel in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been altered so that you can use various fuels, including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that don't produce excessive smoke.

If you purchase a stove that is exempt from defra, it will usually come with a top air vent that restricts how much the stove can be deprived of oxygen during the combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and release black smoke into your home. The air vent on the top of stoves exempt from Defra regulations is altered to prevent the stove from closing all the way.

Defra stoves have become increasingly popular due to their capability to provide a warm and comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are easy to install, and can be used in homes with standard chimney systems as long as they are fitted with 6" liner.
