Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved Wood burning and multi fuel stoves that are DEFRA approved, also known as Defra Smoke Exempt, have passed rigorous emissions tests. This means they can be used within UK cities and large towns that are classified as smoke control zones. A stunning contemporary-styled stove from ACR that is EcoDesign 2022 certified and has DEFRA approval allowing use in a smoke-free zone. Defra Approved If you live in a UK Smoke Control Area and wish to burn wood on your stove, you'll require a DEFRA approved appliance or a Defra-exempt appliance. This is because DEFRA stands for Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the government prohibits the release of nuisance smoke into towns and cities in areas that could cause an issue for residents. These appliances have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure that particulate emissions are greatly decreased, and are able to pass the strict Defra smoke tests. The Defra logo or DEFRA exemption logo is widely recognizable and widely used by industry. You will often see it printed or engraved on the stove itself, although sometimes you will find the words on specifications sheets. There are also several models that are DEFRA approved and DEFRA exempt, meaning that they can be used for wood and solid fuels. A wood-burning stove which is approved by Defra has undergone extensive tests to determine how much particulate matter it produces. It will be able comply with the Clean Air Act if it offers a minimal amount of combustion air so that the fuel burns efficiently and does not produce excessive fumes. These stoves are more eco sustainable than non Defra approved stoves and will also help you save money by reducing the cost of heating. Defra approve wood burning stoves are especially useful for those who live in a Smoke Control Area of the UK. If you choose to use a non-Defra approved stove in a Smoke Control Area and you are breaking the law and could be slapped with a substantial fine. A stove that is Defra-approved is more neighbour-friendly, as it doesn't emit any noxious fumes. It will also keep your chimney and flue cleaner for longer. A DEFRA approved wood burning stove will be legally install a stove of 5kW with a stainless steel twin wall liner that is flexible (provided the manufacturer doesn't require a larger diameter). This is a good option if you want to cut down on the cost of a new chimney. It is a great alternative when space is at a premium. Exempt from Defra If you live in an zone where smoking is forbidden an approved DEFRA stove is a must-have. The stoves have gone through rigorous testing to ensure that they produce minimal emissions which reduces the particulate matter (PM10) in your home. DEFRA approved stoves are identified with the Defra Approved or a DEFRA Exempt logo. Stoves that carry this logo be independently tested to ensure they are compliant with strict smoke control regulations allowing you to burn both wood and approved smokeless fuels. You should not burn dry wood using an Defra Exempt Stove in a Smoke Control Zone, as this will create nuisance smoke. Also, you should not make use of non-Defra Approved multifuel stoves unless you are located in Smoke Control Area as this will also create PM10 in your home and could lead to a hefty fine from the local council. Defra approved multi fuel stoves are engineered to burn authorised wood and smokeless coal safely, without producing nuisance smoke. This is accomplished by using the latest combustion technology that does not hinder the flow of air into the fireplace, also referred to as sleeping. When stoves are left to slumber overnight they can often produce excessive black smoke which is harmful to your chimney, your stove or your health. A great example of a top-quality Defra Exempt multi fuel stove is the Stovax Vogue small. This well-known wood burning stove is extremely efficient with a maximum heat output of 5kW. It also comes with an integrated log store base, making it perfect for installation into larger fireplace openings. Another Defra Approved multi wood burner that burns fuel is the ACR Earlswood LS. The Earlswood is a different multi-fuel stove that has been through extensive tests to ensure that it meets the stringent standards set by DEFRA for particulate emissions. It is therefore suitable to be used in smoke-free areas and can be used to burn a variety of wood and approved smokeless fuels. A multi-fuel stove that is DEFRA Exempt can be an inexpensive option for a new chimney liner. As they nearly all feature a 5” flue outlet, this means that you can use an 125mm diameter stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner rather than the standard 6” (150mm). This is especially economical in situations where there is a limited space for a larger sized liner, and is particularly useful if the existing chimney stack has awkward bends which make it more difficult to install a traditional 6” chimney liner. Smoke Control Areas A large portion of the UK are designated as Smoke Control Areas which means that when you install an open fire or wood burning stove in your home, you are required to only use approved fuels within it. This law is designed to stop nuisance smoke in the properties around it and to ensure that the environment is kept clean. However, it does not prohibit the use of appliances that burn solid fuel and stoves when they meet certain requirements. DEFRA approved stoves, also known as Defra exempt stoves are an excellent option if you reside in a smoke control zone because they've been specifically tested to meet the requirements. A Defra approved stove is able to burn all approved fuels, including wood without generating excessive smoke. The combustion technology used in a Defra-approved stove is designed to limit the amount of air the stove will be devoid of during the combustion process. This is typically achieved by using baffles inside the stove that redirect airflow and stop it from leaving the stove. The top DEFRA approved stoves will include”clean burn” features that allows the combustion of combustibles that have been partially burned such as ash and soot and allows them to be ejected out the chimney rather than into the room. This feature prevents combustibles that are partially burned from entering the stove again and causing a build-up that will eventually produce black smoke. If you install an appliance that has a Defra exemption It is crucial to burn only the specified types of fuels in it, as failing to follow this rule could result in fines under the Clean Air Act. This is especially the case when you're burning damp wood or other wet fuels which can produce fumes that are noxious. You should consult with your supplier or the stove manufacturer's manual to find out which types of fuels can be used in your particular stove. Gr8Fires has a range of DEFRA-exempt stoves suitable for smoke-controlled areas. The Dimplex Langbrook, for example is a chic wood-burning fireplace that is Defra exempt and can run a wide selection of fuels that are authorised. This model comes with a range of heat outputs, as well as with a variety of finishes, including a matt black finish. Heat Output If you see a Defra approved symbol on the stove, it means that it is suitable for use within an area of smoke control when burning wood or other approved fuels. The Defra certification process involves rigorous testing and inspection to ensure that the stove meets the Department of Environment requirements for low emissions. These features will make your stove more efficient in heating your home and will help you reduce your carbon footprint. There are many multi-fuel stoves that have been endorsed by Defra, ranging from small models that have 4kW to large models with 5kW. The right model depends on many factors, such as the size of the room and the amount of heat needed. Using a stove that is too large for your space could result in overheating and lead to an excessive fuel consumption. It is important to get the advice of a professional when choosing the best wood burning or multi-fuel stove. You should also ensure that the stove is compliant with Ecodesign 2020 regulations. These regulations are designed to enhance the efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves burn fuel more efficiently and produce less CO2 and other harmful pollutants. They are also easier to clean, as they produce less soot and tar than other stoves. Most Defra approved multi fuel stoves have air controls, which can be adjusted to regulate the amount of fuel that is burned. Most of these models come with a grate and an ash pan to help in the efficient burning of charcoal that is smokeless. The ash pan collects the smoke from the firebox that prevents them from interfering with the flow of air to the combustion chamber. A variety of multi-fuel stoves are available in a range of colors and finishes. The bold hues of blue and red can provide an impressive look to your room, while metallic finishes can give your stove a sleek and modern appearance. talks about it -fuel stoves even come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose the ideal one that will fit in with your space.
