Choosing a DEFRA Approved Wood Burner

Many people searching for a new stove might be considering a DEFRA approved wood burner. These stoves can be installed within smoke-control areas as long as only Defra-approved fuels are burned.

They are often modified by the manufacturer to limit the extent to which they can be depleted of air, which could cause an odorless combustion.

Clean Burn Technology

There are a variety of different terms that get discussed when it is about wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves. The most important terms are DEFRA exemption, Ecodesign and clean burn. For the average consumer, these might seem like advertising buzzwords that they don't need to worry about, but it is important to keep in mind when you are choosing your next stove.

A stove that is approved by Defra is one that can be used to control smoke in certain areas if the stove uses specific fuels. These include logs, briquettes, and low volatile steam coal. Modern stove manufacturers use special combustion system with third and secondary airflows to minimize the amount of emissions from the stove. They produce less smoke than older open fires or other stoves that are not Defra-approved.

This is part of the government's attempts to keep clean air in urban areas, and it does the job very well. A stove that is Defra-approved will use the minimum amount of fuel and result in the least amount of smoke. You'll still get lots of flames and heat, though.

You can identify a Defra-approved stove by looking for Defra-exempt designation or the Defra badge on the product's description. If you are unsure, you can always contact the manufacturer directly or visit an expert local retailer who will be able to assist you with this.

Stove defra-exempt stoves can be more expensive than regular models, however it is important to keep in mind that they have undergone extensive testing to ensure they comply with strict emission standards. You will save money over time because your stove that is certified by DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves will use less logs to generate the same amount of heat.

Ecodesign regulations were enacted a year ago and all stoves built after that date are required to be compliant. If you reside in a zone of smoke control you'll need a stove that is Ecodesign compatible and Defra-exempt (or a approved model Defra-approved that has passed the rigorous Defra emissions tests). Charnwood has a variety of Defra exempt stoves which are also marked clearSkies Level 3, which means they've achieved a standard of clean burning.

Low Emissions

Stove manufacturers like Arada & Stovax are continuously improving their stoves to incorporate secondary and tertiary combustion methods that help to reduce the amount of particles released. The result is not just a stunning stove, Defra stoves but one that emits very little smoke. This allows you to use it in smoke-controlled areas without worrying about heavy fines.

A DEFRA approved wood stove or multi-fuel stove has been through the rigorous tests set forth by the UK Government Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs. These tests determine the maximum levels of smoke and emissions the stove is permitted to emit.

These tests also examine how a stove responds to smoldering flames. This happens when material that ignites in a wood burner continue to burn even after the flames have been put out. These fires can release lots of smoke in the event that they aren't completely eliminated. DEFRA approved stoves use secondary combustion systems to re-burn the particulates that are released during a fire.

Many people reside in smoke-control zones, in which it is illegal to use non-Defra approved log burners and stoves. You must install a DEFRA-approved stove to avoid paying a heavy fine. There are a variety of Defra-approved stoves you can buy. You can choose the smallest Defra approved wood burner for an inglenook fireplace or a bigger freestanding stove to fill the room, there's certain to be a model that will suit your home.

There are a variety of Defra approved stoves that feature a modern contemporary design that can be used in smoke controlled zones. They usually have large glass doors which allow you to enjoy the heat and fire from the comfortable living room.

A kit offered by the manufacturer can be used to modify certain Defra approved appliances to make them DEFRA compliant. This kit alters the air vents on the top of the stove to prevent them being closed completely, this is known as'slumbering'. This could cause the stove to let out combustible material that has not been burned into the air.

Energy Efficiency

A Defra exempted stove is constructed to produce minimal smoke and deliver high heat. They are ideal for use in smoke-free areas and can be used with smokeless or wood fuels. They are also more efficient and burn logs cleaner than non-Defra stoves. They also have an airwashing feature that keeps your glass windows free of dust. This makes them a stylish, efficient option for your home.

A lot of wood burning stove stores offer stoves that have been approved by Defra. These stoves will be called by the acronym 'SE', or smoke exempt stoves. The reason they can be used in smoke control zones is because of their advanced combustion systems which make use of secondary and tertiary combustion systems to minimize harmful emissions. They are also able to be fitted with an encapsulated flue liner that is 5 inches instead of the 6 inches that are required by the building regulations.

A DEFRA exempted stove has an adjustable top air vent which can't be closed completely. This is a common mistake that people make and can cut off the oxygen supply to the fire which causes it to smolder and generate a lot of smoke. The stoves are equipped with a limiter to ensure that an appropriate amount of air is pumped into the fuel to ensure it doesn't become starved and create excessive smoke.

Stove manufacturers have taken this concept one step further by introducing what are called defra stoves plus stoves. These models have been updated to not only meet, but even exceed the required standards. Charnwood ST2 is the best example. It not only is compliant with Defra standards, but also has an A+ energy rating. It is also clearSkies Level 5 compatible. This is an amazing achievement that proves that a DEFRA exempt stove can be extremely efficient and environmentally friendly. The future is bright for eco-friendly appliances.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

In the UK, some towns and cities are classified as smoke control zones. If you are in a zone of smoke control, you can only install the stove if it's approved by DEFRA. This means that the stove can be used with wood as well as other fuels that are authorised, without generating excessive levels of smoke. A stove that is exempt from Defra has an air vent that cannot be closed completely which allows the stove to maintain a constant oxygen supply. This makes it possible for firewood to burn much more efficiently, minimising soot production and decreasing emissions.

Find stoves that are DEFRA-certified ready to burn a variety of manufactured smokeless fuels, such as lignite and anthracite Granules. These fuels have been specially formulated to assist the stove in burning cleanly. They should be identified with a "Ready to Burn" logo, which confirms the fuel is compliant with the required sulphur levels as well as smoke emissions.

You can enjoy years of low-cost heat while conserving the environment and making your neighbors happy. You'll still have to keep your fireplace in good order by cleaning the chimney, having it inspected by an engineer regularly, and following the manufacturer’s instructions.

With so many designs, materials, finishes and heat outputs that you can think of it's crucial to select the ideal stove for your home.
