Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are a great option for those living in smoke-controlled areas. They are very clean and can burn wood or authorized smokeless fuels.

The Defra Logo is usually displayed on the appliance, or written in the specifications to indicate that it can be used for Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also come with a high energy rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

A majority of the wood-burning stoves that we sell are Defra approved, meaning they are able to meet the strictest standards for emissions when used with wood and other approved fuels. This is due to the fact that these stoves are designed to use a range of different fuels and have been tested independently to ensure they don't produce excessive smoke. Additionally, a Defra approved stove comes with features such as secondary and tertiary combustion that can help maximize the amount of energy produced by the combustion process and reduce harmful gasses.

Multifuel stoves that are approved by Defra typically have an 'SE' logo or SE (which means smoke-free) in their name. This means that the stove has been tested independently to confirm that it is legal to use in a Smoke Control Area with logs and other approved solid fuels. The process of testing will comprise an array of tests to check the stove's performance in a range of conditions and to verify that the stove produces at least 5 grams of particulates per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet the requirements of this standard, Defra-approved stoves have a modified top air control that prevents the user from closing the top air vent completely. If you close the top vent too far will reduce the flow of oxygen to the fire, causing it to smoulder instead of burn. If you attempted to do this using a non-Defra endorsed stove, you would be in violation of the law and may be prosecuted for a number of nuisance smoke offenses.

The best method to avoid nuisance smoke when using a wood burner is to buy kiln-dried or seasoned wood. It is wood that has been dried for a long period of time which helps reduce the amount of moisture to less than 20 percent. You can test the moisture content of your wood using a simple wood moisture meter.

You can lessen the amount of nuisance smoke generated by a stove that is Defra-approved by using only dry, well-seasoned logs that have been kiln dried or spruce. Do not use damp, wet, or unseasoned wood as this will generate a lot of nuisance smoke and could lead to a fine from the local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are compliant with the strict standards for air quality set by the government. These stoves can use a range of fuels, including wood, as well as some 'authorized smokeless fuels that are permitted in Smoke Control Areas (see DEFRA's indicative interactive tool here).

The burning of untreated wood and other wet fuels without having a DEFRA exempt or approved stove could result in nuisance smoke that can irritate neighbors. This could also result in issues with the quality of air in your area, especially if you live in an urban area. You may be charged with a fine or even arrested when you burn fuels that are not authorized in the Smoke Control Area or use an appliance that was not designed to work with smokeless fuels.

Defra approved stoves have secondary and tertiary combustion systems, which burn fuel at lower temperatures. This produces less particulate (PM2.5). This is achieved by using stainless steel liners and a unique convection mechanism that pushes air down the chimney, even after the fire has been put out. This lets the stoves burn wood more efficiently and generate less emissions.

A Defra Approved Stove will also have an adjustment on the top air vent to prevent the stove from closing completely. When you shut off the air supply to a stove it stops burning properly and then begins to smoulder and produce excessive smoke. Defra approved stoves will allow you to shut the vent just a little but not entirely so that the fire continues to burn at an lower temperature, and still comply with the UK regulations.

When choosing a stove that is approved by Defra, it is important to consider the style and appearance and whether it will fit into the style of your home. There are a variety of styles and sizes to choose from including traditional fireplace chambers and inglenooks to more contemporary designs that look stunning in open-plan living spaces.

The majority of Defra approved stoves come with a 5kW flue outlet so they are legal in Smoke Control Areas, which encompass the majority of UK towns and cities. It also saves money in terms of installation costs as the stove only requires a 5" liner instead of the more costly 6" liner.
