Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a smoke control area then you require a DEFRA approved wood stove. They emit a tiny amount of smoke and are able to provide plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have created a range of Defra stoves that are traditionally styled, but have the latest clean burning technology. These stoves can burn a variety of fuels including smokeless coal.

Efficient Eco Design: Portable 5KW Stove Combustion

Defra wood stoves use the most advanced technology for combustion to ensure clean and efficient burning. They do this by making sure that the fire is not depleted of oxygen. This means that any part-burned combustion products that aren't fully burnt will not escape down the chimney and into the air where they could pollute the air.

These Defra approved wood stoves are also more suitable for your chimney and flue as they produce much less smoke than traditional stoves. This can help to keep them cleaner for longer which will reduce maintenance costs while increasing the efficiency of your stove.

Defra wood stoves are a great choice for people who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they allow you to burn smokeless fuels and wood without breaking the law. There are a range of sizes and heat outputs that can be used to fit different homes, so you will be able to locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

Remember that only Defra-approved stoves are permitted to be used in smoke-controlled areas because they are approved for burning fuels that are approved by the government. If you burn a non-approved fuel in your Defra approved stove you could be punished.

If you're looking for the most efficient Defra approved stove take a look at the Stovax ST2. This Defra approved wood burning stove comes with an impressive ClearSkies rating and an energy rating of A+. It was built with efficiency in mind, with an internal air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emissions rate of 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards This stove has been tested by an independent lab to a rigorous SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke-free areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than old stoves and open fires.

The most effective Defra approved stoves are made of dry, untreated wood that has a moisture content of 20% or lower. This will not only ensure that the stove functions properly, but will also create less smoke and increase the capacity of heating.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are checked to be as efficient as possible and as clean burning as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than government's 'clearSkies" scheme.

A stove that is Defra-approved produces less smoke than one that isn't certified. The reason for this is that they are built to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is achieved by having a secondary, and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This ensures that the stove is not deficient in oxygen during the process of combustion and reduces the amount black smoke it releases.

These modern stoves are also designed to emit less harmful particulate matter than earlier models. This is important, because particulate contaminants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried through the body before settling in the lungs and heart. This could cause serious health issues and even premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves generate far less harmful pollutants than older models, the EU is still seeking to reduce pollution from all sources. It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory issues.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help meet the new air quality targets. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require the reduction of the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

To accomplish this it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that are not approved will be fined by local authorities, up to PS1,000 per hour that they release smoke. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's essential to purchase a DEFRA approved stove.

We have a range of Defra Stoves including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. They're all safe for use in smoke-controlled areas and are available in a wide variety of styles to fit your home.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove is a wood burner that has passed a series of rigorous tests and examinations to ensure it abides by the regulations of the Department of Environment. They are designed to make use of fuel more efficiently, while reducing harmful pollutant emissions.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, then a DEFRA approved stove is essential. You can burn approved fuels, such as multifuels and wood, which are prohibited if you're not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra approved logo means the stove has been tested independently and has been proven to burn wood in a smoke control zone without producing harmful smoke. It's a indicator that the manufacturer has gone further than the norm to ensure compliance with the rules.

Some stoves have their top air control modified to prevent it from closing completely. Close the air supply of the stove to stop it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that are Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner when burning wood, however non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner which is too big for many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is more environmentally friendly than older models or open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley Parkray, and Stovax have secondary and tertiary systems that cut down on emissions. This helps to reduce the carbon footprint of their customers.

In addition to offering a range of advantages, Defra stoves are available in a wide selection of styles that can be a perfect fit for your home. Some are more imposing than others, for instance the Aarrow A08E woodburner with its large heat output and large view window, while others are more subtle such as the minimalist Farringdon stove from Aarrow. You can even get an DEFRA stove incorporated into a recess such as the Aarrow i400 cassette stove for an elegant and sleek look to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are built to meet or exceed emission levels required by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means they have been tested and are designed to reduce the amount of pollution released into the air. They also produce more heat using less wood. These advantages make EPA certified stoves an excellent choice for anyone looking to save money on fuel while having the warm, cozy sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that are EPA certified will have an enlarger flue, which will save you money on installation. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency can also boost the efficiency of the stove's heating and save you money on fuel costs.

The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested in compliance with strict rules and regulations that are established by the government. It also helps manufacturers keep quality standards, and ensures that their products are safe to consumers. Stoves that have been EPA certified are required to emit minimal levels of nitrous oxide and particulates. This means they won't emit harmful gases into the air. This is a significant advantage for homeowners in areas with smoke control regulations.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, you are able to burn certain types of fuel in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified so that they can burn a variety different fuels including smokeless fuels. These fuels are usually briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that don't generate excessive smoke.

If you purchase a stove that is defra exempt with a top air vent, it will limit how much oxygen can be delivered to the stove during combustion. This is because too much oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and release black smoke into your home. Defra exempt stoves have a feature that will prevent you from closing the air vent on the top all the way.

Defra stoves are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide a warm, comfortable home while reducing the amount of smoke in the air. They are also simple to install and are suitable for installation in homes that have standard flue systems as long you have a 6" flue liner.
