What Are Defra Approved Stoves? These stoves, also referred to as Defra Exempt Stoves or Smoke Control Approved Stoves are designed to burn smokeless fuels that have been approved by Defra such as Anthracite ovals. However, they will not be suitable for use with wood. To be exempt from Defra, a stove's air controls and flue draught must pass tests in the laboratory. These tests may differ from actual conditions. Clean Burn Technology A DEFRA-approved stove is a wood-burning or multifuel stove that has passed a rigorous test designed by the UK Government Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. This test confirms that the stove can burn authorised smokeless fuels such as briquettes and logs in Smoke Controlled Areas. This kind of stove will not only be better for the environment but it will also benefit your neighbors as it reduces nuisance fumes. These DEFRA stoves have a special combustion technology that permits them to sleep, or slumber' for longer than other stoves. This means that they can burn any approved smokeless fuels in an efficient and efficient manner while still sustaining the required heating output for your home. This is accomplished by restricting the oxygen supply to the firebox. The fuel will be burned at a lower rate until it has been completely consumed. you could try this out are typically referred to as SE stoves or smoke-free stoves. They also will have the label or badge bearing the DEFRA Logo. You may even find them marked as Ecodesign 2022 compliant' to indicate that they will meet the new Ecodesign emissions limits when they come into force next year. There are many factors to consider when buying a DEFRA. Included in this are the type of stove, fuel types that can be burned, and the amount heat it is capable of producing. There are additional options to think about such as an easy-to-use remote control system or an air wash system. When choosing the right DEFRA woodburning or multi-fuel stove, it's crucial to consider the style of decor that you would like to have in your home as there are many styles to choose from. There are many traditional models to choose from if you want to fit the stove inside an existing fireplace or inglenook. However, there are also contemporary and modern models that look amazing without a surround or mantle. It is also important to consider the fuel that you're planning to use, as there are DEFRA exempt wood burners as well as many specifically Defra approved stoves that only allow for the usage of authorised smokeless fuels. Smoke Controlled Areas Smoke Control Areas are defined in most UK cities and towns. If you reside in such an area you'll need a DEFRA-exempt stove or multifuel stove. They are designed to comply with the Clean Air Act regulations and have been tested to ensure that they burn in a smokeless manner. A DEFRA approved stove has been designed with Clean Burn Technology, which is the reason they are smoke-free. This is accomplished by directing a continuous flow of oxygen to the combustion chamber until all the fuel is used up. This means that the fire can't be shut off, like a conventional stove. It will continue to burn low until all the fuel has been consumed and all exhaust gases have been eliminated. This allows you to legally use the stove in a Smoke Control Area using 'authorized fuels', which are wood and manufactured smokeless fuels (anthracite, smokeless briquettes and firelogs). This is in contrast to non-Defra stoves which are only permitted to be used in a Smoke control Area when they are equipped with a specific smoke control kit. Although it is possible to put in a non-DEFRA exempt wood stove equipped with the proper Smoke Control Kit, this is not recommended since you could be putting your family members at risk of breathing in toxic gases and toxins that can cause lung damage. Additionally, using an exempt stove that is not DEFRA-compliant in a Smoke Control Area can result in substantial fines.

It is crucial to remember that all new stoves must be installed by HETAS-registered installers to ensure they are fitted safely and comply with current building regulations. A DEFRA-approved stove that is able to be used in Smoke Control Zones helps reduce emissions, leading to a reduction in amount of sulphur dioxide emitted into the air. From 2022 EU-wide Ecodesign regulation will set minimum efficiency OGV, NOX, and NOX ceilings and emissions limits which appear to be more stringent than the current requirements for Defra Exempt stoves. Smokeless Fuels When choosing a stove with smokeless fuels, there are many aspects to take into consideration. The stove must be approved by DEFRA to be used in areas that are smoke-controlled. The appliance has been put to rigorous tests to reduce the amount of particulate emissions. There are stoves that use smokeless fuels, which burn cleaner than traditional coal. This means they are better for the environment, as well as your neighbors! Briquettes are generally made of anthracite and are smokeless fuels. They are designed to be greener than traditional coal, and also last up to 40% longer. Smokeless fuels also generate more heat and release less carbon dioxide than traditional coal. They are more expensive, but have many advantages for you and your family. They are easier to ignite and won't produce more soot or Ash. The glass screen and the stove grate will have to be cleaned less frequently. They also create a more lively flame and don't emit as much nuisance smoke. Always keep in mind that if your home is located in a zone of smoke control, you can only use approved fuels or wood to heat your stove. You could be fined if burn unauthorised fuels. If you choose to use a wood burner that is not DEFRA approved, then you will be creating nuisance smoke that could upset your neighbours. This is the reason it's crucial to purchase the DEFRA exempt stove that will allow you to use smokeless fuels inside your home. All the stoves in this category have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they are in compliance with DEFRA regulations and do not emit smoke that is harmful to the environment. This is done by making sure that they have the latest combustion technology which prevents part-burned combustibles from being released into the air.

A Defra Approved stove can only be used to burn dry wood and approved smokeless fuels, such as anthracite oval or blue flame anthracite. If you try to burn other than approved smokeless fuels it will create a nuisance smoke that could cause respiratory problems for those with asthma. The installer and the client are responsible for ensuring that the appliance is suitable for the building using the Defra Calculator, and ensuring that the chimney components are in good working order and that they adhere to the required distances from burning combustibles. Stoves that are installed incorrectly can cause leakage, damage and void the warranty.
