Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra approved log burner is among the most sought-after stoves for homeowners. This is due to the fact that they have a cleaner burning and provide better control over heating costs.

They also permit you to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas which is a big advantage as it can avoid the penalties imposed against those who use stoves that are not approved. They are available in different designs to match your home.

Clean Burn Technology

The clean burn technology found in log burners that are defra-approved helps to reduce the amount of smoke and particulate that is released during combustion. This has been proven to dramatically reduce the negative health effects of poor air quality in urban areas, particularly when a traditional wood-burning stove or fireplace is being used. The city of Bergen for instance recognized the importance of implementing efficient measures to improve the quality of their air and, as a result, old non-cleanburn stoves are now illegal in the city. The program to trade in stoves was a great success. Bergen ranked fifth among the 320 European cities in 2021 with respect to its air quality.

To accomplish this, Defra-approved stoves have been designed to ensure that the fire always has enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is accomplished by a secondary air feed or tertiary intake which allows additional combustion air into the appliance, in addition to the primary or main air intake. A secondary air supply is typically located behind the appliance in the interior or under the fire box.

These modern, defra stove exempt stoves have been passed rigorous tests to be able to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is only possible if the stove is used with wood that has been dried and seasoned. heated to less than 20 percent moisture.

A Defra-approved stove will also have been tested for the capability to emit less than 3g of smoke an hour which is the legal limitation in the majority of UK cities and towns. If a stove is found to be emitting excess emissions, the owner could be penalized with a fine of PS300 or more.

A stove that has a high efficiency rating will lessen the amount of carbon dioxide produced by it, while also saving you money on heating costs.
