Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There's a wide selection of defra-exempt multi fuel stoves to suit any home. Defra approved stoves comply with government regulations, and are designed to maximize fuel efficiency and emissions that are low.

This is especially important especially if you reside in a smoke control zone. Even if you don't have a smoke control area, a Defra Stove is better for your chimney and your neighbours.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed on our site that a number of our wood-burning stoves are listed as being DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. These terms may appear to be words to the average homeowner, but they're not.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are responsible for policies and regulations relating to food, agriculture and the environment. Defra approved stoves have been tested rigorously to ensure they abide by the government's strict rules for smoke emission levels during operation. They are designed to burn fuels such as coal and wood more efficiently. This means they generate less pollution.

It is good news for those who live in a Smoke Control Area, as the law currently prohibits smoke emissions within these areas unless using an approved DEFRA stove and DEFRA Recommended stoves an approved fuel. In the past, it has been possible to install a non-DEFRA recommended stoves (click here to find out more) certified stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you only used approved fuels like wood. From January 2022, the law will be altered and stoves that aren't approved will not be permitted to be used unless fitted with a secondary and secondary system that reduces their production of particulate nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and organic gaseous substances.

In the case of our Defra approved stoves, they are equipped with a mechanism that stops you from closing the top air vent all the way down, as this could cause the fire to get smoldering and emit smoke into your room. These stoves come with an adjustable air feed that lets you open the top vent just a little and still maintain an efficient, safe burning.

Another advantage of purchasing a Defra approved stove is that it is able to be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is important because numerous codes require a chimney to be at least 5 inches in diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you reside in a smoke control area, you will need a Defra approved stove to legally burn wood in your home. The stoves have been tested by DEFRA stoves for sale to ensure that they meet the strict smoke emissions standards required in smoke control zones. You can view the list of areas in which you require a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

Defra Exempt Stoves & Multi Stoves Fuel

A Defra approved wood stove, also called a DEFRA Multi Wood Burning Stove or Fuel, will have passed a stringent test that was developed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. The UK government agency is responsible for ensuring the protection of our natural environment, supporting the food and farming industries, and maintaining a thriving rural economic. The tests that Defra approved stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the stove produces low levels of grit and smoke when it's operating.

Many of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are multi fuel stoves that allow you to burn approved 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 multi-fuel stoves and woodburning stoves are equipped with secondary and tertiary venting systems that ensure the wood is completely burned prior to leaving the chimney. This is a cleaner process than just leaving a fire in the fire to burn for long periods of time and it reduces the amount of nuisance smoke that can be generated.

If you live or plan to move into an area that is a Smoke Control Area then a exempted stove from Defra is an excellent option for you. It is not only more sustainable, but it will also help reduce the amount of smoke that could upset your neighbours.

You can still use an open fire, barbecues or pizza ovens in your garden. However excessive or toxic smoke can be considered to be a nuisance and you could be fined. In the Smoke Control Area, you are not permitted to use open fires or stoves that burn damp, rotten or wet wood or any other fuels.

Burning Other Fuels

Defra Approved stoves are made to burn a variety of fuels including wood. They burn wood so efficiently that they are in compliance with strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke zones of control. They can be used in any smoke control area so long as they're burning approved fuels like pellets, briquettes, and logs. Stoves that have been authorised by Defra will bear a mark with a SE' symbol that stands for Smoke Exempt.

A stove that is approved by Defra differs from a typical multifuel stove due to its secondary air vents that heat air before it enters into the firebox. This pre-heated air helps to ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, leading to an efficient combustion process. This also prevents the build-up of soot and blockages in the chimney. Defra stoves have internal baffles which help to regulate the flames and ensure a uniform heat distribution.

Defra could impose severe penalties on anyone who uses appliances that are not approved by Defra in smoke-controlled areas. If you want to avoid being accused of being prosecuted by Defra, only use a DEFRA-approved stove that has been tested in accordance with government criteria.

DEFRA stoves can also be called Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with all kinds of fuel however, they are most effective with wood that is dry and soft. The air vents aren't shut completely, which means there is always oxygen to aid in clean combustion.

This technology is not just compliant with the current government's standards for air quality but also with the 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 signifies that they are in compliance with these new stricter emissions standards. These new standards are being implemented as part of the government's ongoing efforts to keep the nation's air healthy and clean.

Installation

If you reside in a zone of smoke control then a Defra exempt multi fuel stove can aid you in observing the regulations. This is because these multi fuel and wood burning stoves have been independently tested to ensure that they meet the strict standards of smoke emissions required in a Smoke Control Area. These stoves can burn wood, or other fuels such as coal, without worrying about the amount of smoke they emit.

Stoves that are DEFRA certified can reduce smoke levels by using advanced technology for combustion that produces less smokiness. They employ an additional stage of combustion, which burns the waste products that were burned in the first stage. This makes them cleaner and more efficient. They reduce not just the amount of emissions but also the amount of soot in the chimney and flue.

This is great news for those who reside in a smoke-free zone as it means you can have a genuine fire more often and for longer with the additional benefit of lower energy bills. As a result of the reduced levels of pollution, these kinds of wood-burning and multi fuel stoves are also good for the environment as they can be used to use a wider range of materials than other stoves.

A simple kit offered by the manufacturer can make most stoves DEFRA-exempt. This changes the air vents of the stove to stop them from closing at night. This is known as slumbering and it allows for part-burned combustibles that could otherwise block the flue to be released into atmosphere. DEFRA approved stoves don't sleep and are, therefore, more eco-friendly and far less likely to block a chimney.

It is recommended that a HETAS registered installer or a Building Control officer install your DEFRA approved appliance to get the most out of it. This will ensure that your installation was completed to the correct specifications and complies with the most current regulations. It will also protect your warranty as the installer is able to self-certify their own work.
