There are a wide range of multi-fuel stoves exempt from the defra regulations. DEFRA approved stylish stoves approved stoves comply with government regulations and are engineered for fuel efficiency with low emissions.

This is especially important if you reside in a smoke-control zone. But even if don't have a smoke control area, it is still advisable to have a Defra stove is more beneficial for your chimney and neighbours.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed on our site that a number of our wood-burning stoves are listed as DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. These terms may appear to be jargon to the average homeowner, but they are not.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are responsible for the policies and regulations related to agriculture, food and the environment. Defra approved products have gone through rigorous tests to ensure that they meet the strict guidelines set by the government regarding smoke emissions during operation. The stoves are specifically designed to burn the fuels of coal and wood more efficiently. This means they emit less pollutants.

This is a good thing for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area because the law currently bans the release of smoke within these areas unless using an DEFRA approved stove and a fuel that is authorised. In the past it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long as you used only authorised fuels. In January 2022, the law will be changed and stoves that are not approved won't be allowed to be used unless they're equipped with a secondary or secondary system that reduces the production of particulate matter carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

In the case of our Defra approved stoves, they are equipped with a mechanism which will stop you from closing the top air vent completely down as this can cause the fire to get smoldering and release smoke into your home. The stoves have an adjustable air supply that allows you to open the top vent just a little and still maintain an efficient, safe burn.

A stove that is Defra-approved can be equipped with a 5-inch chimney liner. This is important as many codes for building require chimneys to have a minimum of 5 inches diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a smoke-control area, you'll need a Defra-approved stove to use wood legally within your home. DEFRA has tested these stoves to ensure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions that are required in smoke zones for control. You can see the list of areas for which you will require a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

Multi Fuel Stoves

A Defra approved wood stove, also referred to as a DEFRA Multi Wood Burning Stove or Fuel, will have passed a stringent test that was developed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. The UK government agency responsible for protecting our natural environment, supporting the food and agriculture industries and ensuring a vibrant rural economic. The tests that Defra Approved Stoves must clear are designed to ensure that the stove produces minimal amounts of grit and smoke when it is operating.

A lot of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are multi fuel stoves that allow you to burn approved smokeless fuels as well as seasoned wood. They will often be referred to as Defra stoves or Defra approved woodburners, and they are often abbreviated to SE.

In contrast to older stoves that are often unsuitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, the latest DEFRA approved British stoves multi fuel and woodburning stoves come with secondary and tertiary air systems that ensure that the wood is completely burned prior to exiting the chimney. This is more efficient than simply putting a piece of wood on the fire for a long period of time. It also reduces the amount of nuisance smoke that could be produced.

If you reside or plan to move into a Smoke Control Area then a stove that is defra burning mdf-exempt will be an excellent choice for you. Not only is it more eco-friendly, but it will also help reduce the amount of smoke that could upset your neighbours.

You are still able to use an open fire, barbecues or pizza ovens in your garden. However excessive or toxic smoke can be considered a nuisance, and you could be fined. You are also not allowed to burn damp, wet or rotting wood, or other fuels on an open fire or stove within a Smoke Control Area.

Burning Other Fuels Besides Cars

Defra Approved stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels, including wood. They burn wood so efficiently that they comply with the strict regulations of the government regarding emissions when operating in smoke control zones. They can be used in any smoke control area as long as they are burning approved fuels like pellets, briquettes, and logs. Stoves that have been certified by Defra will be branded with a SE' logo that stands for Smoke Exempt.

What makes the Defra approved stove different from standard multifuel stoves is that they have air vents that pre-heat the air prior to entering the firebox. The pre-heated air helps ensure that all the fuel is ignited and burned, which results in a cleaner combustion process. This also prevents the accumulation of soot that can block the chimney. Defra stoves have internal baffles which help to regulate the flames and ensure a uniform heat distribution.

Defra could impose heavy penalties for anyone who is using a non-Defra approved appliance in smoke-controlled areas. If you wish to avoid being accused of being prosecuted by Defra, only make use of a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance that has been tested in accordance with government criteria.

DEFRA stoves can also be called Clean Burn stoves. They are compatible with all types of fuel but are particularly suited to dry wood, both soft and hard. They are designed with air vents that can't be completely closed so the stove will always receive oxygen to help ensure the clean combustion process and reduce the risk of noxious gases and soot.

This technology is not just compliant with the current government's standards for air quality but also with the future Ecodesign requirements which will come into effect in 2022. A large portion of Stovax wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves we offer will carry this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which confirms that they meet these new stricter emissions standards. These new standards are being introduced as part of the government's continued efforts to keep the country's air clean and healthy.

Installation

If you are in a smoke control area then a Defra exempt multi fuel stove can help you comply with the regulations. These wood-burning and multi fuel appliances have been tested independently in order to ensure that they meet the strict smoke emission standards required in a smoke control area. They can burn wood or other fuels like coal, without worrying about the level of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved are able to reduce smoke levels using advanced combustion technology that produces less smokiness. These stoves typically use the second stage of combustion that re-burns some of the waste materials from the first stage, making them even less polluting and more efficient. These stoves can reduce not only the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot that gets into the chimney and flue.

If you live in an area that is smoke-free this is an important thing to be aware of. You can use a fireplace more often and longer. In addition, you'll save money on your utility bills. Due to the less pollution, these kinds of wood burning and multi fuel stoves are good for the environment as they are able to burn a wider range of materials than other stoves.

The majority of stoves can be transformed into DEFRA exempt by using the simple kit supplied by the manufacturer. This changes the air vents of the stove to stop them from being closed down at night. This is known as slumbering. It allows part-burned combustibles to be released into the atmosphere rather than being pushed up the chimney where they can cause obstruction to the flue. DEFRA approved stoves do not slumber and are therefore much better for the environment and are less likely to block the chimney.

It is recommended that an HETAS certified installer or Building Control officer install your DEFRA approved appliance to get the best out of it. This will provide you with the assurance that your installation was done to the proper specifications and is in compliance with the latest regulations. It will also protect your warranty as the installer can self-certify their own work.
