What You Should Be Focusing On Making Improvements Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves
Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There's a wide selection of defra-exempt multi fuel stoves that will fit in with any home. Defra approved appliances comply with the regulations of the government, and are designed to maximize fuel efficiency and emissions that are low.

This is particularly important if you reside in a smoke-control zone. Even if you do not need to, a Defra Stove is better for your chimney and your neighbors.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed across our website that a few of our wood burning stoves are listed as being DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. These terms might seem like an esoteric term to the average homeowner, but they're not.


DEFRA is the acronym for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and they oversee policies and regulations concerning the environment, farming and food. Defra approved stoves have been tested rigorously to ensure they abide by the strict guidelines of the government for emissions of smoke during operation. They're also designed to burn authorised fuels such as wood and coal more efficiently, which means that they produce less pollutants.

This is a good thing for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area since the law currently prohibits emissions of smoke within these areas, unless you are using a DEFRA approved stove and a fuel approved by DEFRA. In the past it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long that you used only authorized fuels. From January 2022, the rules will be altered and stoves that aren't approved aren't allowed to be used unless they're equipped with a secondary or tertiary system that can reduce their production of particulate, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

Our Defra approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism that prevents you from closing down the top air vent completely. This can cause the fire to ignite and release smoke into your home. These stoves come with an adjustable air feed that lets you open the top vent a little and still maintain a safe, efficient burning.

Another benefit of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it comes with a 5-inch chimney liner. This is crucial as there are many construction regulations that require you must have an unlined chimney that has at least a 5-inch diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a zone of smoke control you'll require a Defra approved stove if you wish to legally burn wood in your home. DEFRA has examined these stoves to make sure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions that are required in smoke control zones. You can view the list of areas for which you need a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

Defra Exempt Stoves & Multi Stoves for Fuel

A Defra approved stove, also known as a DEFRA multi fuel or wood burning stove has passed a rigorous test designed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The UK government agency responsible to protect our natural environment, promoting agriculture and food industry and maintaining a thriving rural economic. The tests Defra Approved Stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance produces only small amounts of grit or smoke when it's operating.

Many of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are multi fuel stoves which allow you to burn authorised smokeless fuels as well as seasoned wood. These stoves are also referred to as Defra stoves, Defra approved wooden burners and are abbreviated SE.

In contrast to older stoves that are often unsuitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, the latest Defra multi-fuel and woodburning stoves come with secondary and tertiary air systems to ensure that the wood is completely burned before it exits the chimney. This is a cleaner process than just leaving a log fire on the fire to burn for a long time and it reduces the amount smoke that is generated.

If you are living or planning to move into an area designated as a Smoke Control Area then a Defra-exempt stove will be the best option for you. It is not only more sustainable, but it will help to reduce the amount of smoke that could upset your neighbours.

You can still enjoy open fires, barbecues, and pizza ovens in your backyard but remember that smoke that is toxic or excessive could be a statutory nuisance and could result in a fine. In a Smoke Control Area it is not permitted to use open flames or stoves that burn damp, rotten or wet wood or any other fuels.

Burning Other Fuels Other Than Petroleum

Defra Approved Stoves are made to burn a variety of fuels, including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they are in compliance with strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke zones for control. This means that you can use them legally in any area of smoke control provided you're burning authorised fuels like pellets, logs and briquettes. Stoves that are Defra approved will usually be identified by the an 'SE' logo that stands for Smoke Exempt.

A stove that is Defra-approved differs from a conventional multifuel stove due to its secondary air vents that heat air prior to it entering the firebox. This pre-heated air helps ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, which results in an efficient combustion process. This also prevents the build-up of soot and blockages in the chimney. Defra stoves have internal baffles which help to regulate the flames and ensure an even heat distribution.

Defra could impose heavy penalties for anyone who is using a non-Defra approved appliance in areas with smoke control. If you want to avoid being prosecuted by Defra, only use a DEFRA-approved stove that has been inspected in accordance with the government's guidelines.

DEFRA stoves can also be called Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with all types of fuel but are ideally suited for dry wood, both soft and hard. The air vents can't be closed completely, meaning there is always oxygen available to aid in pure combustion.

DEFRA list stoves is not just compliant with the current government's air quality standards but also with the future Ecodesign requirements that will go into effect in 2022. A majority of Stovax wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell will bear this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which indicates that they comply with the new standards for emissions. These new standards are being introduced as a part of the government's continued efforts to keep the country's air clean and healthy.

Installation

If you reside in a Smoke Control Area and you are in a Smoke Control Area, a Defra exempt multi stove can help you to comply with regulations. These wood-burning and multi fuel appliances have been tested independently to ensure they meet the strict smoke emission standards required in a Smoke control area. These stoves can be used to burn wood or other authorized fuels like coal without worrying about the levels of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved can reduce smoke levels by using advanced combustion technologies that produce less smokiness. These stoves use the second stage of combustion, which re-burns waste products from the first stage. This makes them cleaner and more efficient. They reduce not just the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot in the chimney and flue.

If you live in a region which is smoke-free, this is a great thing to know. You can enjoy a real fireplace more often and for longer. In addition, you'll save money on your energy bills. These multi-fuel and wood burning stoves are beneficial to the environment as they produce less pollutant. They can also be used to burn more materials than other stoves.

A simple kit supplied by the manufacturer can make most stoves DEFRA-exempt. This changes the air vents of the stove, preventing them from being closed down at night. This is referred to as slumbering and it allows part-burned combustibles that would otherwise block the flue to escape into the air. DEFRA approved stoves don't sleep and are, therefore, more eco-friendly and are less likely to block the chimney.

It is recommended that you have a HETAS registered installer or Building Control officer install your DEFRA approved appliance to get the most out of it. You'll have peace of peace of mind knowing that the installation was carried out according to the correct specifications and is in compliance with the latest regulations. In addition, it can also help to ensure your warranty since the installer can self-certify their work.
