Why Defra Approved Multi Fuel Is Everywhere This Year
What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

Fireplaces And Stove approved multi fuel stove is one that has been cleared of the Defra smoke tests. They are also known as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The Defra department of the government is responsible for the rules and regulations related to agriculture, rural issues and the environment. The Defra Test ensures that you can burn wood and approved smokeless fuels, like Anthracite Ovals, for instance, in a smoke-free area without disturbing your neighbours.

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. Eco-friendly stoves are generally built to burn wood, or a combination with other approved fuels. A selection of eco-friendly log burning and multi fuel stoves are readily available, ranging from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves use the dung of pigs as a reliable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.

The most important thing you can do to ensure your stove is green is to make sure that the fuel is properly seasoned or dried in a kiln. This helps reduce the moisture content and allows the wood to burn more efficiently, generating less smoke. It is also a good idea to purchase only wood from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to ensure that it has been dried at the right level.

The majority of newer stoves comply with strict EU EcoDesign Standards. These standards require stove makers to design wood burning stoves that have energy efficiency and environmental protection in mind. Ecodesign stoves have to take into account the environment, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. These are some of the most eco-friendly and clean stoves available.

Another way to make your stove more eco-friendly is to replace the grates with ceramic. This material is not only attractive but also has the benefit of being non-smoking and helping reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. In addition, ceramic grates are easy to keep clean and last longer than steel inserts into grates.

In a Smoke Control Area you are able to use a wood-burner or multi-fuel stove. However, it is important to use only fuels that have been approved by Defra. If you don't, it is possible that you may be in violation of the law and risk being fined by the local council. To avoid this, you should only make use of Defra approved fuels, for example, an amorphous smokeless oval, in your stove.

Clean Burning

Multi fuel stoves approved by Defra are only permitted to be used in areas with smoke control if they burn only authorised smokeless fuel. It could be a smokeless log, anthracite or a naturally occurring or manufactured product. Stove makers must also adhere to the regulations in order to make a DEFRA exempt wood burner for sale. The Stove Yard has a huge range of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves by leading brands like Arada, Parkray and Burley.

The Defra-exempt stoves employ the latest combustion technology to reduce tar emissions and tar accumulation in your chimney or flue system. The stoves utilize secondary and tertiary systems that ignite particulates, tar gasses and other pollutants before they are released into the air. This is the reason Defra approved wood burning stoves are so much more clean than open fires and older models of stoves.

The design of a Defra-approved stove is also distinct. Most of our range has an internal mechanism that allows for a small, continuous flow of air to the fire even if the air vents have been shut. This is to stop soot and ash being sent up the chimney which can block your stove and can result in dangerous chimney fires.

This is an essential feature for anyone living in a smoke control area The new Defra approved stoves do not allow you to shut the vents completely, and then sleep on your stove for the night which can send part-burned combustibles into the air.

A DEFRA approved stove also has a much longer burn time than non-Defra models, but it's worth noting that if you switched your fuel of choice for smokeless coal and you wanted to sleep your stove for the night, then this would shorten the time to burn due to the continuous supply of air needed to slumber burn would slow the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Emissions Reductions

When properly used, a DEFRA exempt stove can generate very low levels of emission. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles, which, if inhaled, could cause numerous health issues, including heart problems and lung diseases.

The high efficiency of combustion in a DEFRA approved wood burner minimizes the amount of harmful particles and pollution released during the burning process. This helps reduce the impact of the process of burning on the environment.

The efficiency of a stove can lower the cost of heating your home. By using a DEFRA-approved wood burning stove in place of a gas boiler, you can reduce your carbon footprint as well as save money on your energy bill.

If you live in a zone where smoke is controlled, it's vital that your stove be DEFRA-approved (or Smoke Exempt) because 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 let you relax in the fireplace, without having to worry about whether the smoke could disturb your neighbors.

In addition to being DEFRA Approved and DEFRA Approved, a lot of stoves are tested to meet the requirements of clearSkies and can be labelled with the clearSkies mark. The clearSkies mark is an independent scheme that requires stove makers to display information about their appliances efficiency and emissions so that consumers can make an informed choice. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating and emissions, as well as the type and size of the stove.

It is important to remember that, like with Ecodesign the clearSkies regulations are minimum standards. Manufacturers may go above and beyond these. ESSE has designed its latest stoves to be even more efficient and cleaner, producing less smoke without impacting performance or control. This latest development uses the patented twin catalytic combustion technique that reburns any smoke particles it creates, dramatically reducing their effects on the environment.

In fact it's true that if you're in an smoke-free zone and you use an DEFRA Approved stove with a good quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll be able to generate as much, or even more heat from the same amount of dry wood as if were burning it in a non-DEFRA Approved stove. In fact, it can be up to 24 per cent cheaper to heat your home using a an newest DEFRA Approved stove than with a traditional gas boiler.

In compliance with Building Regulations


If you live in an area that is under smoke control, it is crucial to select a multi-fuel stove that is approved by DEFRA. These stoves have been tested to ensure that they do not emit smoke when burning approved fuel. You can therefore use these stoves in areas that have a large number of buildings. We install and supply DEFRA approved log stoves from the top brands such as Mi-fires and Contura.

You can also safely burn peat, wood, and other solid fuels using a DEFRA-approved multi-fuel stove. It is crucial to be aware that certain fuels can't be used in Smoke Control Areas.

For a multi-fuel stove to perform safely, it's important that you have the right ventilation. This will help reduce the accumulation of carbon monoxide in your home. DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have an integrated venting system that automatically delivers enough air to the combustion process, so your home will always be properly ventilated and safe for use.

DEFRA approved stoves also have a minimum dimension of 550mm2, meaning they can be used conjunction with a standard dualwall system. Our line of flue liners can be used with DEFRA-approved stoves. You can upgrade your fireplace to meet the latest emission standards with our wide selection.

When choosing a DEFRA approved stove Look for the DEFRA' symbol on its packaging or in the manufacturer's details online. This information is also available on a variety of reliable retailers' websites as well as in store displays.

If you're planning to install a multi-fuel stove, it's essential that you get the job done by a certified professional to ensure compliance with building regulations. If you do not follow the proper instructions for installation this could result in the issuance of a fine or damage to your home. We recommend choosing a HETAS certified installer to complete your stove installation, as they are familiar with the manufacturer's guidelines and building regulations.
