DEFRA approved efficient stoves Approved Multifuel Stoves Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are a great option for those who live in areas that are smoke-free. They burn wood and approved smokeless fuels efficiently and are available in a wide range of styles to suit every taste. The Defra Logo is usually on the appliance, or in its specification to show that it is suitable for Smoke Control Areas. They also have an energy efficiency rating that is high and have low emissions. Clean Burn Technology We offer a variety of wood burning stoves which are approved by the Defra. This means they meet stricter emission standards when they are used with wood or other approved fuels. These stoves have been tested independently and are built to burn a variety of fuels. You'll also find that a Defra approved stove has features such as secondary and tertiary combustion that help to maximise the amount of energy produced by the burn and minimise harmful gases. The stoves that are Defra approved typically have an 'SE' logo (which is distinctive for smoke-free) or the word SE after their name. This signifies that the stove has been independently tested and can be employed in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing process includes several tests to test the stove's performance in a variety of conditions, and to confirm that it produces at least 5 grams of particles per kilogram when burning wood. To meet this standard, Defra approved stoves have a modified top air vent which prevents the user from closing it all the way. The air vent at the top that is closed too tightly will limit the supply of oxygen to the fire, and this will cause it to smoulder instead of burning. If you attempted to do this with a non-Defra approved stove, you would be in breach of the law and could be prosecuted for nuisance smoke offences. The best method to avoid the stench of smoke that comes from the wood burner is to buy kiln-dried or seasoned wood. This wood has been dried over a long time, which reduces the moisture content to below 20 percent. A simple wood moisture meter can be used to test the moisture content in your wood. You can lessen the amount of nuisance smoke generated by a Defra-approved stove by making use of dry, well-seasoned wood that have been kiln dried or spruce. It is not recommended to make use of damp, wet or unseasoned wood because it will cause a lot of annoyance smoke and could result in a fine from the local authority. Smoke Control Area Approval DEFRA approved stoves comply with the strict standards for air quality set by the government. These stoves are able to utilize a variety of fuels including wood and some 'authorised smokeless fuels that are permitted in Smoke Control Areas (see DEFRA's indicative interactive tool here). The smoke that is produced by burning untreated wood or other wet fuels in a stove that is not DEFRA approved or exempt from DEFRA will make your neighbors angry. It can also impact the local air quality if you live in an urban area. You could be fined or prosecuted if you burn unauthorised fuels in a Smoke Control Area or use an appliance that is not designed to use smokeless fuels. Defra approved stoves are constructed with secondary and tertiary combustion systems that help to burn fuel at lower temperatures, which in turn produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is achieved by using stainless steel liners, as well as convection systems that force air to the chimney, even after the fire is removed. This allows the stoves to burn wood more efficiently and produce less carbon dioxide. A Defra Approved Stove will also feature an adjustment on the top air vent, which prevents you from closing it down completely. When you cut the air supply to the stove, it will stop burning properly, and smoulder a lot, and then start producing smoke. Defra approved appliances allow you to shut the vent but not completely, so that the fire can burn at a lower heat and still be in compliance with UK regulations. When choosing a Defra-approved stove it is crucial to consider the style and design, and whether it is compatible with the decor of your home. There are many sizes and styles to choose from, from traditional fireplaces and inglenooks, to more modern designs that look great in open-plan living spaces. Most Defra-approved stoves have five-kW chimney outlets which allows them to be used in Smoke Control Areas. This is the case for most UK towns and cities. This can also save money on installation costs since the stove requires only a 5” liner instead of the more costly 6” liner. Aesthetics A multi-fuel stove doesn't need to be a utilitarian feature in your home. you can pick one that adds style and appeal. There are many models available in a variety of styles to fit your style either modern or traditional. They typically have sleeker lines and cleaner designs than wood-burning stoves. This makes them a better option for any room. When selecting a multi-fuel stove make sure that it fits the intended space and is compatible with your chimney or flue system. It is also important to ensure that the stove's clearance to combustible substances is in line with local requirements. You can get an idea of these requirements by consulting the manufacturer's guidelines that will specify how far you have to keep flammable items like curtains walls, furniture, and even walls away from your stove. When you are shopping for a multi-fuel stove, you might want to consider the airwash system. This will keep the glass windows clear so you can enjoy your fire. Some multi-fuel stoves even include a removable grate that makes it easier to change fuel and clean the stove. Defra approved multi-fuel stoves are engineered to minimize emissions and pollution and are therefore an environmentally responsible choice for eco-conscious homeowners. They are also highly efficient and allow you to use less fuel, which will lower your heating costs. Many Defra multi-fuel stoves are offered in different styles to suit your aesthetic preferences.

Many stoves have an elegant design that is a reflection of their heritage, with features like cast iron construction and ornate details. These stoves are perfect for country cottages and homes with a rustic, traditional feel. Others have a modern style, featuring simple lines and materials like steel and glass. These models are perfect for homes that have minimalist design like those found in urban areas and modern homes.
