Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in a region where smoke is controlled it is recommended to use a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves emit very little smoke and provide plenty of heat, light and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray and Stovax have created a wide range of traditionally styled Defra stoves that feature the latest technology for clean burning. These stoves can burn many different types of fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood stoves from Defra utilize the latest technology of combustion to ensure safe and Efficient NRG 5KW MultiFuel Cast Iron Stove burning. They do this by making sure that the fire is not depleted of oxygen. This means that any burning combustibles which aren't completely burned will not be able to escape the chimney and into the air where they can cause pollution.

These Defra approved wood stoves are also more suitable for your chimney and flue system since they produce less smoke than traditional stoves. This can keep them cleaner longer, lower maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of your wood stove.

In addition, Defra wood stoves are ideal for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn authorised wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a range of sizes and outputs to suit various homes, so you can find the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

Make sure that only stoves approved by Defra 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 fuel that is not approved in your Defra approved stove you could be fined.

If you are looking for the most efficient Defra approved stove, look no further than the Stovax ST2. This wood burning stove that is Defra-approved boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and an energy rating of A+. It has been made with efficiency in mind. It has an internal air to fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emission rate of 0.26g/h.

This stove is not only compliant with DEFRA emissions standards however, it has been independently tested according to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and can be used within smoke-controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are specifically designed to lower emissions and are 66% efficient than older open fireplaces and stoves.

The best Defra-approved stoves are made of untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a a moisture content below 20%. This will ensure that the stove functions effectively and reduce smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means they've been regulated to be as efficient and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The major benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it produces significantly less smoke than an uncertified stove. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire has an uninterrupted supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary, and sometimes even tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove being deficient in oxygen during the combustion process, and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is important because particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and travel around the body, lodging in the lungs and heart. This could cause serious health issues and even premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that the latest models emit less harmful pollutants. This is because it is linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan is aimed at reducing average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a reduction in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

One of the ways it intends to achieve this is to make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control areas. Stoves not approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. This is why it's so crucial to purchase a DEFRA approved stove if you live in a smoke controlled area.

We have a variety of Defra stoves available, including the Classic 5 clean burn multi-fuel stove that starts at just PS420. They're all suitable for use in smoke-controlled areas and come in a 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 exams to ensure it abides by the regulations of the Department of Environment. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently by reducing harmful pollution.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, then you need a DEFRA approved stove is required. It permits you to use approved fuels, such as wood and other multifuels that would typically be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved may be called SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or specifications.

The Defra logo signifies that the stove has passed independent tests and has been verified to be able to burn wood in a smoke-control area without creating noxious fumes. It's a sign that the manufacturer went beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have their top air controls altered to prevent the entire control from being shut. Shutting off the air supply to a log burner will deprive it of oxygen, which hinders its combustion and produces black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, while non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner, which is too large for a lot of UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is also more eco-friendly than older models or open fires. The latest stoves from leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax include secondary and tertiary combustion systems to reduce their emissions, which can help to reduce the carbon footprint.

As well as providing a wide range of benefits, Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles that can work with your home. Some are more striking than others, for instance the Arizona A08E woodburner with its large heat output and a large glass viewing window, while others are more subtle such as the minimalist Farringdon stove by Aarrow. You can even get an DEFRA stove fitted into a recess such as the Aarrow i400 cassette stove for a clean, sleek finish to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are built to meet or surpass the emission levels required by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and designed to reduce the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. They also generate more warmth with less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves a great choice for anyone looking to save money on fuel while having the warm and comfortable sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that are EPA certified will use smaller flues, which can save you money on installation. This is due to the fact that they are designed to burn more efficiently than other stoves. This efficiency also increases the capacity of your heater, which can reduce your the cost of fuel over time.

The EPA certification requires that stoves be tested according to strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintain their quality standards and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low nitrous oxide and particulate emission levels, which means they will not release harmful gases into the air. This can be a major benefit for homeowners living in areas that have smoke-control regulations.

If you reside in an area with smoke control and smoke-controlled, you are allowed to use certain types of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified so that you can use a variety different fuels including smokeless fuels. These fuels are typically briquettes or other dry, easily-available materials that will not produce excessive amounts of smoke.

If you purchase a stove that is defra exempt, the top air vent will limit the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the stove during its combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoulder and emit black smoke into your home. Defra exempt stoves will have a modification that prevents you from closing the air vent at the top defra stoves all the way.

Defra stoves are becoming more popular because of their ability to provide a comfortable warm and cozy home, while also aiding in reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are easy to install and are able to be used in homes that have standard chimney systems so long as they are fitted with an 6" liner.
