What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra-approved multi fuel stove is one that has been cleared of the Defra smoke tests. These stoves are often referred to as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The Defra department of the government is responsible for rules and regulations that deal with rural issues, agriculture and the environment. The Defra test ensures you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels, such as Anthracite ovals in a smoke controlled area without upsetting your neighbours with annoying smoke.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves make use of sustainable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. Eco-friendly stoves are generally designed to burn wood, or in combination of other approved fuels. A variety of eco-friendly log burners and multi fuel stoves are available with a range of styles from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves use dung (the excrement of domestic livestock) as an extremely efficient and carbon neutral alternative to wood.

The most important thing you can do to make your stove eco-friendly is to ensure that the fuel is properly seasoned or kiln-dried. This reduces the amount of moisture and lets the wood burn more efficiently, and produce less smoke. It is also a good idea to buy only wood that has been procured from sustainable forests. When purchasing wood, look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' label to ensure that it has been dried correctly.

The majority of newer stoves are built to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove makers to develop wood burning stoves that are energy efficient and with the environment in mind. Manufacturers must consider emissions as well as resource efficiency and waste reduction when designing Ecodesign stoves. These are among the most eco-friendly and clean stoves on the market today.

Another option to make your stove green is to replace the grates with ceramic. It is not just visually appealing, but also non-smoking and reduces sulphur oxide in the air. Ceramic grate liners are also easy to keep clean and have a longer lifespan than steel inserts for grates.

In a Smoke Control Area you are able to use a wood-burner or multi-fuel stove, but it is important to only use fuels approved by Defra. You could be breaking the law if you don't. It is recommended to only use fuels approved by Defra for example, a manufactured anthracite round, in your stove.

Clean Burning

Multi fuel stoves approved by Defra can be used only in areas that are smoke-controlled if they burn only authorised smokeless fuel. It can be a non-smokeless log, anthracite or a manufactured or natural product. The stove manufacturers must comply with the rules for selling a DEFRA-exempted wood burner. The Stove Yard has a an extensive range of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves by leading brands like Arada, Parkray and Burley.

These types of DEFRA stoves price range exempt stoves offer the most modern combustion technology that is designed to reduce emissions and tar build up in your chimney and flue system. They use the latest secondary and tertiary airflow techniques to ignite tar gas and particulates before they escape into the air. This is what makes an Defra approved stove cleaner than older generation wood burning stoves and open fires.

The design of a stove that is Defra-approved is also different. Most of our models have an internal mechanism that allows for the continuous flow of air to the flame, even when the air vents have been closed. This is to stop soot and ash from being released up the chimney that can block your stove and can cause dangerous chimney fires.

The new defra stoves-approved stoves don't allow you to shut the vents for air and sleep the stove overnight, which can send part-burned combustibles to the air.

A DEFRA compliant stoves-approved stove will also have a longer burning time than older stoves that aren't DEFRA-approved. However, if you were to swap your authorised fuel with smokeless coal to rest the stove for a night it would also reduce the burning time due to the constant supply of air needed for slumbering will reduce the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Reduced Emissions

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

The high efficiency of combustion provided by a DEFRA-approved wood burning device reduces the amount of harmful particles and pollutants released by the process of burning. This reduces the impact on the environment, particularly in urban areas where pollution levels are very high.

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

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, it's important to ensure that your stove is DEFRA approved or Smoke Exempt because this permits you to burn affordable DEFRA stoves Approved fuels such as manufactured smokeless coal ovals, such as Anthracite and Homefire as well as dried wood and other approved solid fuels. This will let you enjoy your fireplace without worrying about how the stench of smoke could be a nuisance to your neighbors.

In addition to being approved by DEFRA, many stoves are also tested to clearSkies level requirements and can be labelled with the clearSkies label. The clearSkies mark is an independent scheme that requires stove manufacturers to display information about their appliances efficiency and emissions making it easier for consumers to make an informed choice. The information must include a stove's efficiency rating as well as emissions, as well as its type and size.

It is important to remember that, as with Ecodesign clearSkies regulations set minimum standards. Manufacturers are able to go over and beyond these. ESSE for instance has developed its latest stoves to be even more efficient and cleaner burning and produce less particulates, without sacrificing performance or control. This latest development uses Twin Catalytic Combustion Technology that burns all smoke particles and reduces their impact on the atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke-controlled zone and are using a DEFRA Approved Stove with a top-quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll get as much heat, or even more, from the same amount dry wood as the same amount of wood burned in the non defra list stoves Approved Stove. It could be up to 24 percent cheaper to heat your home with the latest Defra Approved Stove than with gas boilers.

In compliance with Building Regulations
