Multi-Fuel DEFRA Approved Stoves

In a UK Smoke Control Area, you can burn wood and certain smokeless materials using a multi-fuel DEFRA approved appliance. They usually come with a continuous supply secondary combustion air to stop the fuel from burning out or releasing noxious smoke.

A Defra Stove (sometimes called a DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance) has been tested for levels of emissions and has met the UK Government Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs requirements.

Smoke Control Areas

The smoke produced from open fires and stoves in the UK can contribute to air pollution, particularly in urban areas. Smoke Control Areas have been created where only certain types of fuels and home fire appliances are permitted. They are strictly controlled under the Clean Air Act to reduce environmental pollution. If you live in a Smoke Control Area, it is important to only use wood-burning stoves or log burners that are approved by Defra. This ensures you are burning legal fuel and are not generating smoke that irritates neighbors.

Stovax stoves are DEFRA approved and a lot of them have secondary and tertiary systems in order to help burn logs efficiently. This can reduce emissions. This allows you to enjoy a stunning fire, while producing less smoke.

A Defra approved appliance, or to use its full name "Smoke Exempt Appliance", is tested and has been approved by the UK Government DEFRA regulations stoves (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), legislation regarding the levels of smoke in Smoke Control Areas. This ensures the stove only produces very little smoke during normal operation. It also means that you can legally burn certain types of wood in your stove, as long as it's'ready to burn' with moisture content less than 20 percent. It is not possible to burn wet, damp or spruced wood in a DEFRA approved stove because it can produce noxious smoke that is contrary to the provisions of the Clean Air Act.

When choosing the Defra approved stove, consider the style of the stove and how it will fit into your living space, there are a variety of traditional Defra stoves to pick from as well as modern alternatives. You should also be aware of the type of fuel that you will be burning. Some Defra approved stoves are only compatible with wood and do not offer the option for a multiple-fuel burner.

If you plan to burn anthracite, smokeless coal or other fuels approved by Defra in your stove, you will require a smoke-control kit. It can be installed on appliances that aren't exempt from Defra. The Stovax store has a wide range of smoke control kit options that are compatible with non-Defra certified appliances.

Coal

Defra approved multi-fuel stoves are the green choice that lets you enjoy the warmth of your stove while reducing the impact on the environment. These stoves comply with government regulations and manufacturers must conform if they wish to continue operating.

The most sustainable way to heat your home is by using a DEFRA approved wood-burning stove that also burns authorised fuels such as coal. Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel that was first discovered about 300 million years ago. During this time, huge swamps containing plants and ferns were prevalent on Earth. The plants sank into water when they died and then formed peat as they grew. It was then buried under layers of rock and other elements until it was pressed into solid coal.

When coal is burned it releases lots of energy in the form of heat and sulphur dioxide that can contribute to air pollution. Sulphur dioxide is the main cause of acid rain, which can damage rivers and lakes, causing harm to wildlife and damaging crops. Because of the dangers of acid rain several countries, including the United States have banned the use coal.

Although coal emits a lot pollutants, it's a very important part of heating. It is the most used fossil fuel and has an affordable price when in comparison to other fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil. Moreover, coal is a very energy efficient fuel that generates plenty of heat per kilogram.

A DEFRA exempt wood-burning device, or a DEFRA approved stove as it's sometimes referred to, is a stove that is used in smoke-free areas when burning authorised fuels such as coal and briquettes. These stoves can also be used with a range of firelogs. Firelogs are a compressed form of sawdust, wood waste or other wood waste that's sometimes mixed with paraffin to help light.

If you reside in an area that is subject to Smoke Control, you can avoid hefty penalties by using an approved DEFRA endorsed stoves stove. Choice Stoves offers a range of DEFRA-approved wood burning stoves from leading manufacturers like Mi-fires. Contura, Stovax and many more. We can help you choose the best stove for your property and make sure it is installed correctly by a qualified engineer to avoid any problems.

Wood

Wood stoves that have been approved by Defra are great for those who live in smoke-free areas. They burn clean, low-smoke gas that creates less pollution than coal and other fossil fuels. They can also provide cost-effective heating, and are available in a wide range of styles that will fit your interior design.

Most multi-fuel stoves that are DEFRA exempt will come with a secondary air inlet above the main air vent. This is pre-heated before the main air flow gets in and helps to stop ash from sticking to the glass of the stove as well as helping the burning logs draw in air. Some stoves also have a secondary air inlet, which is heated by flue gases as they exit, which ensures a better combustion and more efficient flames.

You can also select a DEFRA-approved log burning device designed to burnseasoned dry hardwoods. This kind of timber is locally sourced, and it is carbon neutral. As trees absorb carbon dioxide during their growth, this is returned to the atmosphere when it is burned.

Log burners approved by DEFRA are permitted in smoke controlled areas provided that you use authorised fuels only. If you're not sure if your property is within a Smoke Control Area, you can contact your Local Authority for more information.

A wood stove that is Defra-approved is a great option for those who love the look and feel of traditional log burners, however, they would like to be able to utilize other fuels in addition. However, it is important to remember that only DEFRA-approved stoves are able to be fitted with a 5" chimney liner for wood burning, and this must be fitted by a licensed installer. If you'd like modern design, there are plenty of Defra-approved stoves that can be installed in fireplace chambers or inglenooks and still look fantastic. It's worth noting that these stoves don't provide the option of burning authorized fuels, such as smokeless anthracite oval. You'll need an additional woodburning stove which is Defra approved for this purpose. This is a good option, as burning fuels that are not authorized in a non-DEFRA approved stove could put you in breach of the regulations and risk prosecution.

Smokeless Fuels

The use of smokeless fuels in a multi-fuel DEFRA approved stove is an excellent way to reduce the amount of soot and carbon dioxide produced by your fireplace. The smokeless fuels are generally anthracite-based and come in the form of briquettes. They are designed to be less polluting than household coal and provide a more consistent flame. They are ideal for areas with smoke control, but also work for anyone that enjoys using an open flame or multifuel stove.

A DEFRA approved wood-burning stove comes with a secondary or tertiary burn system that improves combustion and eliminates harmful particles and gases. These systems can also extend the lifespan of your stove by reducing how quickly it wears out and can clog up the flue. Most modern stoves are equipped with DEFRA approval, but older stoves may be modified to comply with a kit.

The Portway Luxima is an example of a wood burner that has been designed to be DEFRA compliant. The large, warp-free door in cast iron allows for a great view of the fuel bed. The stove features a stylish door bevel and a striking chrome handles that are modern in design.

It's important to choose the best stove for your house. This is why it's essential to ensure that your new stove meets the government's standards. A DEFRA approved stove can save you money, give you greater flexibility, and keep your family warm and cosy.
