You may have noticed on our website that many of our wood burning stoves are listed as being DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. These terms might seem like an esoteric term to the typical homeowner, but they're not.

DEFRA is the acronym for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and they handle regulations and policies concerning the environment, farming and food. DEFRA regulations stoves approved products have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they meet the strict guidelines set by the government for smoke emissions when operating. These stoves are additionally designed to burn authorized fuels such as coal and wood more efficiently, meaning that they produce far fewer pollutants.

This is good news for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area since the law currently bans the release of smoke within such areas unless you use an DEFRA approved stove and an authorised fuel. In the past it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long you used only approved fuels. As of January 2022, the rules will change and non-approved stoves aren't allowed to be used unless equipped with a secondary or third-party system that will reduce their productions of particulate, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and organic gaseous substances.

Our Defra approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism to prevent you from closing the top air vent completely. This could result in the fire smouldering and emitting smoke into your home. Instead, these stoves have an adjustable air flow that allows you to open the top vent slightly and still maintain a safe and efficient burn.

Another benefit of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it can be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is vital as there are many construction regulations that require you need a chimney with at least a 5-inch diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a smoke-control area you'll need a DEFRA-approved stove to legally burn wood within your home. DEFRA has examined these stoves to make sure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions required in smoke control zones. On the DEFRA stoves ratings and reviews website, you can see a list of areas where a stove that is Defra-approved is required.

The tests Defra Approved Stoves must pass are designed so that the stove produces low levels of grit and smoke when it's operating.

Many of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are also multi fuel stoves which allow you to use authorised smokeless fuels and seasoned wood. These stoves are also known as Defra stoves, DEFRA registered stoves (click the next web site) approved wooden burners and are abbreviated SE.

Unlike older stoves, which are not suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, the latest Defra multi-fuel and woodburning stoves have secondary and tertiary air systems in order to ensure that the wood is completely burned before it exits the chimney. This is a cleaner process than simply leaving a log on the stove for long periods of time. It can also reduce the amount of smoke that can be produced.

If you reside or plan to move into an area designated as a Smoke Control Area then a exempted stove from Defra is the best option for you. Not only is it more environmentally friendly but it can also help reduce the amount of smoke that can irritate your neighbors.

You can still use open fires, barbecues, and pizza ovens in your yard but be aware that excessive or toxic smoke could be a statutory nuisance and you may be fined. In a Smoke Control Area, you are not allowed to use open fires or stoves for burning damp, rotten or wet wood or other fuels.

Burning Other Fuels Other Than Petroleum

Defra Approved stoves are made to burn a wide variety of fuels including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they are in compliance with the government's strict regulations for emissions during operation in smoke control areas. They can be used in any smoke-control zone, provided they are burning approved fuels like logs, briquettes and pellets. Stoves that have been approved by Defra will usually be identified by the an 'SE' logo that signifies Smoke Exempt.

What is it that makes a Defra approved stove different to traditional multifuel stoves is that they have air vents that heat the air prior to it entering the firebox. The pre-heated, heated air ensures that all fuel is ignited to produce a cleaner combustion. This also prevents the accumulation of soot and clogs in the chimney. The stoves of Defra also come with internal baffle plates that help to regulate the flames and ensure an even heat distribution.

Defra could impose severe penalties on anyone who uses a non-Defra approved appliance in areas with smoke control. To avoid being accused of trespassing by Defra you should purchase and make use of a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested to the government's strict requirements.

DEFRA stoves are also referred to as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used for any type of fuel however, they are most effective with wood that is soft and dry. The air vents can't be closed completely, so there is always oxygen available to aid in clean combustion.

This technology is not just compliant with the current government's air quality standards but also the upcoming Ecodesign requirements that will go into effect in 2022. Many of the Stovax wood burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell will have this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which indicates that they comply with these new stricter emissions standards. These new standards are being implemented as part of the ongoing efforts by the government to keep the country's air clean and healthy.
