Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There is a great range of defra exempt multi-fuel stoves that will fit in with any home. Defra approved stoves comply with government regulations and are designed to burn fuel efficiently and emit low emissions.

This is especially important especially if you live in a smoke-control zone. Even if you do not need to, it is important to know that a Defra Stove is more beneficial for your chimney and your neighbors.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed that on our website, a number wood-burning stoves are described as defra approved Energy-efficient stoves exempted or DEFRA approved. To the average homeowner these terms may sound like jargon that they do not need to be aware of, but this could not be further from the reality.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are accountable for the policies and regulations related to food, agriculture, and the environment. Defra approved products have gone through rigorous testing to ensure that they adhere to the government's strict guidelines for defra approved energy-efficient stoves smoke emissions when operating. They are designed to burn fuels like wood and coal more efficiently. This means they generate less pollutants.

This is a good thing for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area because the law currently prohibits emissions of smoke within such areas, unless you are using an DEFRA approved stove and a fuel that is authorised. In the past, it has been possible to install a non-Defra-approved stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you only used authorised fuels such as wood. In January 2022, the laws will change and non-approved stoves will not be permitted to be used unless they're fitted with a secondary and tertiary system that can reduce their productions of particulate carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

In the case of our Defra approved stoves, they are also equipped with a mechanism which prevents you from closing the top air vent all the way down, as this could cause the fire to smoulder and emit smoke into your room. Instead, these stoves come with an adjustable air supply that allows you to open the top vent just a bit and still maintain a safe and efficient burn.

Another advantage of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it comes with a 5-inch chimney liner. This is important as the majority of codes require a chimney to have a minimum of 5 inches diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a smoke-control zone you'll require a DEFRA-approved stove to use wood legally in your home. DEFRA has tested these stoves to confirm that they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions required in smoke control zones. You can see the list of areas for which you will require a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

Multifuel stoves and stoves exempt from Defra

A Defra approved stove, also referred to as a DEFRA multi fuel or wood burning stove will have passed a stringent test developed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The UK government agency is responsible to protect our natural environment, assisting the food and farming industries, and ensuring a vibrant rural economic. The tests Defra Approved Stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance emits only 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, as well as seasoned wood. These stoves are also referred to as Defra stoves, Defra approved wooden burners and are abbreviated SE.

The most recent Defra stoves for woodburning and multi-fuel come with secondary and tertiary venting systems that ensure the wood is fully burned prior to leaving the chimney. This is more efficient than simply putting a piece of wood on the fire for long periods of time. It can also reduce the amount of smoke that is produced.

If you live or plan to move into an area designated as a Smoke Control Area then a stove that is Defra-exempt will be an excellent choice for you. It's not only more sustainable, but it also helps to reduce the nuisance smoke that could make your neighbors angry.

You can still use an open fire, barbecues or pizza ovens in your garden. However, excessive or toxic smoke may be considered a nuisance and you could be fined. You are also not allowed to use damp, wet or rotting wood or any other fuels in an open fire or stove in the Smoke Control Area.

Burning Other Fuels

Defra Approved stoves are made to burn a wide range of fuels including wood. They burn wood so efficiently that they meet the strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke zones of control. They can be used in any smoke-control zone, provided they are burning approved fuels such as pellets, briquettes, and logs. Stoves that have been certified by Defra will bear a mark with a SE' symbol, which stands for Smoke Exempt.

What makes a Defra approved stove different to traditional multifuel stoves is that they have secondary air vents that pre-heat the air prior to it entering the firebox. This pre-heated air helps to ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, resulting in more efficient combustion. This also prevents the build-up of soot and blockages in the chimney. Defra stoves are equipped with internal baffles which help to regulate the flames and ensure an even heat distribution.

Defra could impose severe penalties for anyone who is using an appliance that is not approved by DEFRA in areas with smoke control. To avoid being prosecuted by defra burning mdf you should only purchase and use a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested according to the government's strict requirements.

DEFRA stoves are also referred to as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used for most types of fuel, but they are best suited to wood that is dry and soft. Air vents cannot be closed completely, meaning there is always oxygen to support clean combustion.

This technology not only complies with the current government's air quality standards but also future Ecodesign requirements that will go in 2022. A majority of Stovax wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves we offer will carry this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which indicates that they comply with the new, stricter emission standards. These new standards are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to keep the air in the country healthy and clean.

Installation

If you live in a Smoke Control Zone and you are in a Smoke Control Area, a Defra exempt multi stove can help you comply with regulations. This is because these wood burning and multi fuel stoves have been tested independently to ensure they comply with the strict standards for smoke emissions required in a Smoke Control Area. They can burn wood, or other fuels, such as coal without concern about the level of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved can lower the amount of smoke produced by advanced combustion techniques that produce less smokiness. These stoves use the second stage of combustion that recycles waste products from the first stage. This makes them cleaner and more efficient. These stoves can reduce not only the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot in the chimney and flue.

If you live in a region which is smoke-free this is an important idea to be aware of. You can use a fireplace more often and longer. In addition, you'll reduce your utility bills. These wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves are great for the environment because they emit less pollution. They can also be utilized to burn more materials than other stoves.

Most stoves can be converted to DEFRA exempt by using an easy manufacturer-supplied kit. This kit changes the air vents of the stove to ensure that they do not shut at night. This is referred to as slumbering, and allows part-burned combustibles and flammables to escape into the air instead of going up the chimney where they could block the flue. DEFRA approved stoves do not sleep and are, therefore, more eco-friendly and less likely to block a chimney.

To get the most out of your DEFRA approved stove it is recommended you have it professionally installed by an HETAS Registered Installer or by an Building Control Officer. This will ensure that your installation was completed to the proper specifications and is in compliance with the latest regulations. It will also protect your warranty since the installer can self-certify their own work.
