Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved

The DEFRA approved eco design stoves approved stoves that burn wood and multi-fuel are also known as Defra Smoke Exempt stoves, have passed strict emissions tests. This means they can be used in UK cities and large towns classified as smoke control zones.

ACR has designed an elegant, contemporary-styled stove that is EcoDesign-2022-ready. It also has DEFRA approval that allows it to be used in areas that have smoke control.

Defra Approved

If you live in the Smoke Control Area in the UK and want to use wood in your stove, you'll need an DEFRA approved or Defra exempt appliance. DEFRA is the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and it is the government that prohibits the release of smoke into cities and towns in areas that could pose an issue for residents. These appliances have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure that particulate emissions levels are significantly decreased and are able to pass the strict Defra test.

The DEFRA certified stoves approval or DEFRA exempt logo is well known and widely used by the industry. You will often see it printed or engraved onto the stove itself, but there are occasions when you'll see the words on specifications sheets. There are models that are DEFRA approved or DEFRA legislation stoves exempt. This means that they can be used with both wood and solid fuels.

A wood burning stove that has been approved by Defra has undergone extensive testing to determine how much particulate matter it generates. It is able to conform to the Clean Air Act by supplying the minimum amount of combustion air to the fuel so that it can burn efficiently without generating too much smoke. They are generally more eco-friendly than stoves that aren't luxury DEFRA stoves approved and can help you reduce your heating bills too.

Defra approve wood burning stoves are particularly beneficial for those who live in a Smoke Control Area of the UK. If you use a stove that is not approved by Defra in a Smoke Control Area and you're breaking the law and could be punished with a substantial fine. A Defra approved stove will also be more friendly to neighbors since it doesn't emit any nuisance smoke and will typically mean that your chimney and flue system will stay cleaner for longer too.

A DEFRA-approved wood burning stove permits you to use a stove with 5kW capacity that has a stainless steel flexible twin wall liner. (Provided the manufacturer doesn't insist on an increased size). It is worth looking into when you're looking to cut down on the cost of a new chimney and is a great alternative when space is limited.

Exempt from Defra

A DEFRA approved stove is a vital piece of equipment if you live in a smoke-free area. The stoves have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they emit a minimum amount of emissions, which reduce the amount of particulate matter (PM10) in your home.

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves have an 'Defra Approved 'DEFRA Exempt' logo on their specifications. Stoves with the logo have been tested independently and meet the strict standards for smoke control.

It is important to remember that you can't use Defra Exempt stoves to burn dry wood in Smoke Control Zone as this will produce a nuisance smoke. You cannot use non-Defra approved multi fuel stoves unless located in a Smoke Control Area. This can also generate PM10 and could result in a hefty fine by the council.

Defra approved multi fuel stoves are designed to burn wood that is authorised and smokeless coal safely, without producing nuisance smoke. They achieve this with the latest combustion technology which does not hinder airflow into the firebox, which is called slumbering. When stoves are allowed to slumber overnight they can often produce excessive black smoke that is not good for the chimney, your stove or your health.

Stovax Vogue Small is a excellent example of a multi-fuel stove that is Defra Exempt and high quality. This well-known wood-burning fireplace is extremely efficient with a maximum output of 5kW. It also features an integrated log storage base, which makes it ideal for taller fireplace openings.

Another Defra Approved multi wood burner that burns fuel is the ACR Earlswood LS. The Earlswood multi-fuel stove also has been tested extensively to ensure it meets the stringent DEFRA requirements for particulate emissions. It is able to be used in areas with smoke control and burns a range of wood and smokeless fuels.

Specifying an DEFRA Exempt multi fuel stove could be a cost-effective solution to the need for a new chimney liner. Since they almost all have five" flue outlet this means that you can fit a 125mm diameter stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner instead of the standard 6" (150mm). This can be particularly economical when there isn't enough space to install a larger liner, and is particularly useful if the chimney stack you have currently has awkward bends which make it more difficult to install a traditional 6" chimney liner.

Smoke Control Areas

Many areas in the UK have been designated as Smoke Control Areas. This means that if your house has an open fire, wood burning stove or fireplace, you are able to only use fuels that have been approved by the UK government. This law is intended to reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted into neighbouring homes and to ensure the environment is maintained clean. It doesn't prohibit the use of appliances that are solid fuel or stoves that meet certain standards. DEFRA approved stoves (also called Defra-exempt stoves) are a great option when you reside in a smoking-free area. They've been specially tested and meet the requirements.

A Defra approved multi fuel stove is typically capable of burning all authorized fuels including wood, but without producing excessive quantities of smoke. The combustion technology in the stove that is Defra-approved is designed to limit the amount of air that the stove will be removed from during the burning process. Usually, this is accomplished through using specially designed baffles in the stove that redirect airflow and stop it from escaping the stove.

The best DEFRA-approved stoves will have a feature called 'clean burn' which allows part-burned combustibles like soot and ash to be combusted and released through the chimney instead of into the room. This feature blocks combustibles which are partially burned from re-entering the stove and causing a build-up which could eventually result in black smoke.

If you fit a stove with Defra exemption it is essential that you only burn the specific types of fuels that are allowed in it since failure to do so could lead to fines under the Clean Air Act. This is especially true when you are burning damp wood or other wet fuel which will produce unpleasant smoke. You should consult with your supplier or the stove manufacturer's manual to see the types of fuels that are approved can be burned in your particular stove.

Gr8Fires offer a range of DEFRA exempt stoves that are suitable for use in smoke-free areas. For example the Dimplex Langbrook is a stylish wood-burning stove that's Defra exempt and can be used with various 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 an Defra approved symbol on the stove, that means that it is safe to use in a smoke control zone when burning wood or other approved fuels. The Defra certification process requires rigorous testing and inspection to ensure the stove meets the Department of Environment requirements for low emissions. These features make the stove more efficient in heating your home, which helps to keep your bills down and reduce your carbon footprint.

There's a broad selection of Defra approved multi fuel stoves to choose from with a range of sizes, from small 4kW models to larger 5kW models. Selecting the right model will depend on a variety of factors that include the size of your space and the amount of heat you require. A stove that is too large for your space can result in excessive heating and result in fuel waste. When choosing a multi-fuel or wood-burning stove it is essential to seek advice from a professional.

In addition to Defra approval, you should also look for a stove compliant with Ecodesign 2022 regulations. These regulations aim to increase the energy efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves burn fuel more efficiently and produce less CO2 and other pollutants. These stoves are easier to clean as they produce less tar, soot and other harmful substances.

The majority of multi fuel stoves that are Defra-approved have air controls that can be adjusted to regulate the amount of fuel burned. The majority of these stoves are also equipped with a grate and ash pan to help in the efficient combustion of charcoal that is smokeless. The ash pan collects the ashes from the firebox, that prevents them from interfering with the flow of air to the combustion chamber.
