20 Trailblazers Leading The Way In Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves
Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Defra approved multifuel stoves are a great choice for people living in smoke controlled areas. They burn wood and approved smokeless fuels efficiently and are available in a broad variety of styles to meet all tastes.

The Defra Logo is usually found on the appliance, or written in its specification to show that it can be used for Smoke Control Areas. They also come with a high energy rating and low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

A large portion of the wood burning stoves we sell are Defra approved, meaning they are able to meet the strictest standards for emissions when they are used with wood and other approved fuels. The stoves have been independently tested and are designed to burn a range of fuels. You'll also find that a Defra approved stove has features like secondary and tertiary combustion which can help maximize the amount of energy in the burning process and minimize harmful gases.

The stoves that are approved by Defra typically feature an 'SE' logo (which is distinctive for smoke exempt) or the word SE after their name. This signifies that the stove has been independently tested and is able to be used in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing process will include an array of tests to assess the stove's performance under various conditions and to verify that the stove can produce a minimum of 5 grams of particulates per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet this standard Defra approved stoves have a modified top air vent that prevents users from closing it completely. Closing the top vent too far will reduce the flow of oxygen to the fire and cause it to smoulder instead of burn. If you attempted to do this with a non-Defra approved stove, you would be in breach of the law and may be prosecuted for a number of nuisance smoke offenses.

The best way to avoid fumes that cause irritation when using the wood burner is to purchase kiln-dried or seasoned wood. This is wood that has been dried for an extended period of time which helps to reduce the moisture content to less than 20 percent. A simple wood moisture meter can be used to test the amount of moisture in your wood.

You can also lessen the amount of noxious smoke that is produced by your Defra approved stove by using dry well-seasoned, kiln dried, or spruce logs. It is not recommended to use damp, wet, or unseasoned wood as this will generate a lot of nuisance smoke, and could even result in an infringement from the local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are built to meet strict air quality standards that are outlined by the government. They can utilize a variety of fuels such as wood, as well as some 'authorized smokeless fuels that are permitted in Smoke Control Areas (see DEFRA's indicative interactive tool here).

Burning untreated wood and some other wet fuels that are not having a DEFRA exempt or approved stove can result in nuisance smoke that could annoy neighbours. This could also impact local air quality If you live in a city. If you are located in an area designated as a Smoke Control Area and burn unauthorised fuels or an appliance not designed to be used with authorized smokeless fuels, then you could be fined or be charged with a criminal offense.

Defra approved stoves are made with secondary and tertiary combustion methods which help burn fuel at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is achieved through the use of stainless steel liners as well as a unique convection system that pushes air down the chimney - even when the fire has been put out. This allows the stoves to burn wood more efficiently and create less carbon dioxide.

A Defra Approved Stove will also feature an adjustment on the top air vent to prevent you from closing it all the way. If you cut off the air supply to the stove, it will cease to burn properly, it will smoulder and begin to emit smoke. Defra approved stoves permit you to shut the vent just a little but not all the way so the fire can continue to burn at the lower temperature and conform to UK laws.

When choosing a Defra-approved stove, it is important to think about the style and design and whether it is compatible with the style of your home. There are many designs and sizes to choose from, from traditional fireplaces and inglenooks, to more modern designs which look great in open-plan living areas.

The majority of Defra approved stoves come with an outlet for a 5kW flue, which means they can be used legally in Smoke Control Areas, which include the majority of UK cities and towns. This can also save money in terms of installation costs as the stove only requires a 5" liner instead of the more costly 6" liner.
