What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

nrg-defra-5kw-eco-design-stove-multifuel-cast-iron-fireplace-portable-indoor-space-heater-268.jpgA defra approved multi fuel stove is one that has been successfully passed the Defra smoke tests. These stoves are sometimes called SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The government Defra department oversees rules and regulations pertaining to the environment, farming and rural issues. The Defra test ensures you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels like Anthracite ovals within an area that is smoke-free without causing any disturbance to your neighbors by emitting noisy smoke.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves are made of renewable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. They typically burn wood or a mixture of approved fuels and are designed with ecological considerations in the back of their minds. A wide range of eco-friendly log burners and multi fuel stoves are offered that range from modern to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves use dung (the excreta of domesticated 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 ensure that the fuel is properly seasoned, or dried and kiln-fired. This helps reduce the moisture content and lets the wood burn more efficiently, producing less smoke. It is recommended to buy only wood that has been procured from sustainable forests. When buying wood look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' label to ensure that it has been dried properly.

The majority of newer stoves are built to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove makers to design wood burning stoves with energy efficiency and the environment in mind. Ecodesign stoves should take into account emissions, resource efficiency, and waste reduction. This makes them some of the cleanest and greenest stoves on the market.

Replace the grates on your stove with ceramic grates. This makes it more sustainable. Ceramic is not only aesthetically pleasing but also anti-smoking, and helps reduce the amount of sulphur oxide found in the air. In addition, ceramic grates are easy to clean and have a longer lifespan than steel grate inserts.

While you may still relax in cozy wood burning stoves or multi fuel stove in a Smoke Control Area It is vital to use only Defra approved fuels. If you don't, it is possible that you could be in breach of the law and risk getting a fine from your local council. To avoid this, you should only make use of Defra approved fuels, such as anthracite that is manufactured smokeless in your stove.

Clean Burning

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

These Defra-exempt stoves use the latest combustion technology to reduce emissions and tar accumulation within your chimney or flue system. They utilize the latest secondary and tertiary airflow systems that ignite particulates and tar gases before they escape into the atmosphere. This is the reason why a Defra approved stove more eco-friendly than the older generation stoves that burn wood and open fires.

The design of a Defra approved stove is also different Most of our range will have an internal mechanism hidden within the stove that allows for a small, continuous circulation of air into the fire, even when the vents for air are shut. This prevents soot and ash from being sent up the chimney which can hinder the stove's performance and lead to dangerous chimney fires.

The new Defra-approved stoves don't allow you to shut the air vents and slumber the stove for a night that could release part burned combustibles in the atmosphere.

A DEFRA-approved cooktop will have a longer burn time than older non-Defra stoves. However it is possible to swap your authorised fuel with smokeless coal to slumber the stove overnight, this would also shorten the burning time as the continuous supply of air required to slumber would reduce the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Emissions Reductions

If properly used, a DEFRA-exempt stove can produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles which, when inhaled, can cause various health problems, including heart diseases and lung diseases.

The high combustion efficiency of a DEFRA approved wood burner reduces the amount of harmful particles and pollutants released during the combustion process. This significantly lowers the environmental impact especially in urban areas where pollution levels are high.

The effectiveness of a stove can lower the cost of heating your home. If you use a DEFRA-approved wood burner in place of a gas boiler, you can reduce your carbon footprint and save the cost of your energy.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, you must ensure that your fireplace is DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt since this will permit you to use Defra approved fuels such as manufactured smokeless coal ovals like Anthracite and Homefire as well as dried wood and other approved solid fuels. This allows you to enjoy your fireplace without worrying about a nuisance smoke affecting your neighbors.

Many stoves that are DEFRA-approved, are tested in accordance with clearSkies standards and are able to be identified with the clearSkies label. The clearSkies scheme is an independent scheme that requires stove manufacturers to display information on the effectiveness and emissions of their products, allowing consumers make an informed choice. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating, emissions, as well as the type and size.

It is important to keep in mind that, as with Ecodesign, clearSkies regulations represent minimum standards. Manufacturers are able to go over and above these. ESSE has developed its most recent stoves to make them even more efficient and less polluting, generating less smoke without any compromise in efficiency or control. This latest innovation utilizes patented Twin Catalytic Combustion Technology that burns all smoke particles which reduces their impact on the environment.

If you live in a smoke-controlled zone and are using a DEFRA Approved Stove with a high quality, kiln-dried or seasoned log, you will get as much heat, or even more, from the same amount dry wood than if it were burned in a non DEFRA Approved Stove. It is up to 24 percent less expensive to heat your home by using a new Defra Approved Stove than with a gas boiler.

You can therefore use them in areas that have lot of buildings.

For a multi-fuel stove to perform safely, it's important that you have the appropriate ventilation. This will reduce the formation of carbon monoxide inside your home. DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have an inbuilt venting system that automatically delivers enough air to the combustion process, ensuring that your home will be fully ventilated and safe to use.
