Multi-Fuel DEFRA Approved Stoves

In a UK Smoke Control Area, you can burn wood and certain smokeless substances in a multi-fuel DEFRA approved appliance. They often have a continuous supply of secondary combustion air to prevent the fuel from smouldering and releasing smoke that is a nuisance.

A Defra Stove (sometimes known as a 5kw defra multifuel stove Smoke Exempt Appliance) has been tested for emissions levels and has met the UK Government Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Criteria.

Smoke Control Areas

The smoke that is produced by open fires and stoves in the UK can contribute to air pollution, particularly in urban areas. This has led to the creation of Smoke Control Areas where only specific types of fuels and home fire appliances are allowed to be employed. 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 approved by Defra. This ensures you are burning legal fuel and are not causing nuisance smoke that upsets your neighbours.

A large portion of Stovax multi-fuel and wood burning DEFRA Recognized Stoves approved stoves include secondary and tertiary combustion units which help you make your logs burn more efficiently which in turn helps reduce emissions. This lets you enjoy a stunning fire while creating less smoke.

A Defra approved appliance or to give it its full title a "Smoke Exempt Appliance", has been tested and has passed the UK Government DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) regulations regarding smoking levels in Smoke Control Areas. This means that the stove only produces the smallest amount of smoke when it is in operation. This also means that you can legally burn certain kinds of wood in your stove, as long as it's'ready to burn' and has moisture content less than 20%. You are not able to burn damp, wet or spruced firewood in a stove that is approved by DEFRA because it will produce nuisance fumes that violate the Clean Air Act.

When selecting a Defra approved stove, think about the design of the stove and how it will fit into your living space. There are lots of traditionally styled Defra stoves to choose from as well as modern options. You should also be aware of the type of fuel you'll be using, a few Defra stoves are only approved to be used with wood, and do not offer the option for a multi-fuel burner.

If you want to burn anthracite or smokeless coal or other fuels that are approved by DEFRA certified stoves in your stove, you will require a smoke-control kit. This can be fitted on non-Defra-exempt appliances. 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 minimising your impact on the environment. These stoves must adhere to regulations set by the government, and manufacturers are required to comply if they wish to continue operating.

The most sustainable way to heat your home is to use a DEFRA approved wood-burning stove that can also burn legal fuels, such as coal. Coal is an unrenewable fossil energy source that was discovered around 300 million years ago. During this time, swamps with giant plants and ferns were commonplace on Earth. When the plants died, they fell into the water and eventually produced a substance known as peat. It was then buried under layers of rock, and other materials until it was transformed into solid coal.

When coal is burned it releases a lot of energy in the form of heat and sulphur dioxide that can cause air pollution. Sulphur dioxide is one the major DEFRA Recognized Stoves contributors to acid rain. It can harm rivers, lakes and wildlife as well as crops. Many countries, including the United States, have banned the use of coal due to the threat of acid rain.

While coal produces lots of pollutants, it is still an important part of the heating world. It is the most well-known fossil fuel, and it has a lower price than other fossil fuels, such as natural gas and oil. Coal is a fossil fuel that is extremely efficient in energy use and produces a large amount of heat per kilogram.

A DEFRA exempted wood-burning, or DEFRA approved stove is a stove which can be used to burn approved fuels like briquettes and coke in smoke controlled areas. These stoves can also be used with a range of firelogs. Firelogs are a compressed form of sawdust or wood waste, or any other wood waste that's often mixed with paraffin to enable it to be lit.

If you live in the Smoke Control Area, you must only make use of the DEFRA approved stove to avoid hefty fines. At Choice Stoves, we supply an extensive range of DEFRA approved wood burning stoves from the top manufacturers like Mi-fires, Contura, Stovax and more. We can assist you in selecting the ideal stove for your home and ensure that it is installed by a licensed engineer to avoid any potential issues.

Wood

Defra approved wood stoves are a great choice for homeowners who live in a smoke-free zone. They burn clean, low-smoke gas that produces less pollution than coal and other fossil fuels. They also provide economical heating, and are available in a wide range of styles to suit your interior design.

Most multi-fuel stoves that are DEFRA exempt will come with an additional air intake above the main air vent. This air inlet is pre-heated and used to keep ash from getting stuck on the glass of the stove. It also assists the burning logs to draw air. Some stoves have a secondary inlet which is heated by flue gasses that exit the. This will ensure a better flame and combustion.

You can also choose an approved log burner from DEFRA that is designed to burn seasoned, dry hardwoods. This kind of wood is locally sourced and is carbon neutral. When trees are burnt, they release carbon dioxide that was absorbed into the trees as they grew.

Log burners approved by DEFRA can be used in smoke-controlled areas provided that you only use fuels that are authorised. If you're not sure if your property is in a Smoke Control Area you can contact your Local Authority to find out more.

A Defra approved wood stove is a great alternative for those who love the look of a traditional log burner, but want to be able to utilize other fuels as well. However, it's crucial to know that only DEFRA-approved stoves can be used with a 5" chimney liner when burning wood, and it must be installed by a qualified installer. If you prefer a more contemporary style, there are many Defra-approved stoves that can be installed in fireplace chambers and inglenooks and still look stunning. They are not equipped to burn approved fuels, for example smokeless oval anthracite. You'll need an additional woodburning stove which is Defra approved for this purpose. This is a good idea as burning unauthorised fuels in a non-DEFRA approved stove could put you in breach of the rules and could be prosecuted.

Smokeless Fuels

Smokeless fuels can be utilized in a multifuel DEFRA approved fireplace to reduce emissions and soot. Smokeless fuels are typically anthracite-based and are available in the form of brquettes. They are designed to produce less pollution than house coal and create more constant fire. They are an excellent choice for people working in smoke control areas, but they are also suitable for anyone who likes using a traditional open-fire or multi-fuel stove.

A DEFRA approved wood burning stove has secondary or tertiary burner system that enhances combustion and eliminates harmful particles and gases. These systems also help to extend the lifespan of your stove by reducing the speed of wear and tear or clogs the flue. The majority of newer stoves are DEFRA approved, but older models can be modified with a kit to become compliant.

The Portway Luxima is an example of wood burners that have been made DEFRA compliant. The large, warp-free door in cast iron provides an amazing view of the fuel bed. The stove has a chic door bevel design and contrasting chrome handle that is contemporary in appearance.

Selecting the best stove for your home is a crucial choice, which is why you must ensure that your new stove meets all of the government's requirements. A DEFRA approved stove will save you money, offer you more flexibility, and keep you and your family warm and cosy.
