The Benefits of DEFRA Exempt Wood Burners

DEFRA approved wood-burning stoves are an excellent choice for homeowners who live in areas of smoke control. These particular stoves have been tested thoroughly and are able to function in accordance with strict regulations.

Stoves that are approved will have an 'SE' which means Smoke Exempt. They are able to be used in smoke controlled areas but only when burning approved fuels from Defra including wood and manufactured smokeless fuels.

Smoke Exempt

DEFRA exempt wood burning stoves or DEFRA approved stoves (my latest blog post) are designed to comply with the Department of Environment's (DEFRA) regulations. These stoves were tested and inspected in order to ensure that they efficiently burn fuel and produce minimal or no smoke. These stoves emit low levels of emissions and their efficiency in combustion allows them to re-burn combustibles that have been burned partially like soot and ash before they escape down your chimney.

If you live in an area that is classified as Smoke-Control Area, it is important that your stove be DEFRA exempt. It must also allow you to use authorised fuels. It is unlawful to emit smoke from your chimney if not using an exempt appliance or authorised fuels.

Clean Burn

Open fires and wood-burning stoves produce smoke which can cause harm to the health of those living within your home as well as people living nearby.

These stoves are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce less pollution. They also display the clear smoke emanating from the chimney instead of the dark smoke that is typical of older log burning stoves and open fires.

Modern DEFRA-exempt stoves feature secondary and tertiary systems which are responsible for the smaller smoke particles. This means that the air inside the combustion chamber is continuously circulated. This makes it much more difficult for the particles to escape.

This also means that you must only use approved fuels in your DEFRA-exempt wood stove (such seasoned dry firewood). These modern stoves have an airflow system that keeps the combustion chamber clean, reducing the amount of soot and allowing gas to flow easily from the flue.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

It is essential to have a wood-burning stove that is DEFRA-approved for use in UK cities and towns. This means that it has passed rigorous tests and is legal for use in these areas. These tests ensure that the air is not contaminated by the combustion particles produced by the stove. These toxins are what cause the dark smoke frequently seen from chimneys in areas of smoke control and can have a negative effect on health, as well as making neighbors uncomfortable.

In response local councils have enacted laws that ban the use of open flames and appliances that are not exempt from DEFRA in these areas to tackle the issue. However, the good news is that you can still install an appliance in your home if it is DEFRA exempt and you burn fuel that is approved for burning.

Stoves that have been approved to be used in a Smoke Control Area will be marked as such and have been tested to ensure that they meet or exceed strict emissions and efficiency standards. The stoves that are Defra-exempt are also more eco-friendly than other kinds of woodburners because they utilize advanced secondary and tertiary burn systems which reduce their carbon footprint.

You can find out if you are in a smoke-free area by contact your local council. You can also determine the address of your property's postcode online, however it is recommended to check the website of your local council to find out more in-depth information since every district in the UK might be different.
