Choosing a Defra Woodburner

To ensure compliance with the law, all persons living in a smoke-control zone must use a DEFRA approved stove. These are stoves that have been independently tested to ensure that they burn wood and smokeless fuels in accordance with the law.

There isn't much difference between a DEFRA Recognized stoves-approved kitchen and one that has not been approved. Many modern stoves are even capable of being modified by the manufacturer of the stove to become DEFRA-approved.

Clean Burn Technology

A stove that is approved by Defra will use clean burning technologies to reduce the amount of waste generated when fuels are burned. This technology allows pre-heated, filtered air to be injected into the combustion chamber. The air is mixed with gases released by the fire and burns hydrocarbons that are not burned. This reduces the amount that smoke escapes from a fireplace and can have a positive effect on asthmatics who suffer from respiratory issues.

This technology is used in a variety of modern wood burners and stoves and is one of the main reasons that they are more eco-friendly than older stoves and open fires. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, you'll have to use a DEFRA exempt appliance that has passed strict smoke particle emission tests to be classified as "clean burn" in order to legally burn wood in a fireplace with wood burning.

It is recommended to only burn wood that has a low moisture content in the event that you own a DEFRA-approved stove. This will enable you to take advantage of the technology that helps reduce emissions. It is recommended to have the wood seasoned for at least two years to reduce its moisture content to less than 20 percent. You can test the level of moisture in your wood using a simple moisture gauge.

Using a DEFRA approved stove with Clean Burn technology will reduce your energy consumption and also help ensure that the environment is kept clean. The patented clean burn system reduces the levels of smoke particles that are released and this can have a positive impact on those who suffer with respiratory ailments. Regular maintenance of your stove and flue system is essential to ensure it operates at maximum efficiency and to avoid blockages.

Clean Burn offers a range of waste oil heaters that will help you save money on your energy bills. They have a number of efficient waste oil furnaces and boiler models that let you generate free heat from your own industrial or commercial waste oil. Each unit uses Clean Burn's patent-pending Heat Recovery Technology which will recycle the waste oil and transform it into a sustainable renewable energy source. The company has an extensive dealer network that provides excellent customer service before and after the purchase. They also provide an extensive warranty that covers the combustion chamber and heat exchanger of their equipment for a period of 10 years or 15,000 hours.

Smoke Exempt Appliances

To qualify as Defra Exempt the stove must pass a stringent test developed by DEFRA compliant stoves, the UK Government Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. This guarantees that it can be used in areas that are smoke-free. A stove that is Defra exempt is commonly called a DEFRA or SE stove, and has passed the tests that allow you to burn wood and other authorised non-smoking, non-smoking, fuels manufactured in UK Smoke Control Areas.

You can avoid paying a fine and break the law if you have an approved woodburner from the Defra. This is because you are only able to legally burn a wood burning stove with a Smoke Control Approved Appliance and only with approved fuels (see our Defra List of Authorised Fuels for a full list).

A Defra-exempt stove will also keep your chimney and flue cleaner for longer as it does not emit a lot of nuisance smoke. Even if you don't reside in a smoke control zone, an Defra approved stove is an excellent option. It will be more sustainable and friendly to your neighbors since it will produce less noxious smoke than a non-Defra certified Stove.

The best method to keep your stove running at its best and maximizing its energy efficiency is to carry out regular maintenance, which includes cleaning the chimney and flue on a regular basis. Stoves that are regularly maintained and cleaned will perform better than those that are not and you will be saving more money over the long haul by owning a Defra stove.

When it comes to selecting a new stove, there are a lot of things to think about, from the physical size of the stove to the power output it will bring to your room. You should also consider the type of fuel you want to use and whether you need to operate your stove in a smoke-control area.

Eco-Friendly

The latest Ecodesign wood burners are designed to minimise their impact on the environment. This is done through the use of third-generation and second-generation combustion systems that reduce harmful particle emissions while saving fuel. In addition, they also burn wood at higher temperatures than other stoves, resulting in the wood burning more completely and producing less pollution. These eco-friendly stoves may also be more efficient than older models, saving you money on your heating bills.

The Ecodesign logo that is displayed on many of our woodburners is a sign that the stove is in compliance with new regulations set by the European Union, as well as UK laws pertaining to protection of the environment. These Ecodesign log burners are designed to be efficient and can achieve a performance of 70 percent over a season. They also have a secondary clean burn system, which is controlled by a chrome lever located at the base of the stove. The system is able to open and close a vent which pulls air over the fire to re-burn any smoke that was originally produced by the fire. This reduces the amount of emissions being released and helps keep your chimney and flue system in good condition for longer.

We recommend that all of our customers consider Ecodesign stoves when shopping for a woodburner. They not only provide an efficient, clean combustion and lower emissions, but they can also cost less than other models and come in a range of styles that will complement your home's aesthetic.

Stoves that are Defra approved

In the past, people could choose whatever they wanted to put on their fires. This resulted in huge amounts of smoke being pumped into towns and cities across the nation. This caused a lot of health problems and the government knew they had to take action. This led to the establishment of Smoke Control Areas, which prohibits the emission of smoke from homes that are not residential in the event that they are not using an approved stove and authorized fuel.

If you reside in a smoke-control zone it is required to have a Defra Smoke Exempt woodburner to legally burn wood. If you don't, then you could be in violation of the law and being punished.

Neighbour Friendly

Wood burners are becoming increasingly popular in the UK particularly with the recent influx of people coming to the country from urban areas. However, it is important to understand and comply with regulations regarding log burners to avoid fines or legal actions. The best method to do this is to use a DEFRA approved stove that is in compliance with strict emission standards. There are a variety of methods to determine if the stove is DEFRA-approved and this includes checking the label and the specifications of the manufacturer's website.

The DEFRA stamp on a stove means that the appliance has been tested thoroughly and has met strict emission standards, allowing it to be used within smoke control areas. This also signifies that the stove will burn less fuel and create less harmful pollutants. This is an important aspect to look for when purchasing a new stove. It will help you get the most value from the purchase and ensure you are able to use it legally in smoke-control zones.

It is crucial to use only kiln-dried or seasoned wood in your stove. Kiln drying reduces moisture in the wood, which helps reduce emissions when it is burned. It can take up to two years for wood to dry naturally, so if you're burning wood in a smoke control zone, it is advisable to purchase a log store or an chimney sweep to dry the wood for you. When purchasing wood, look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo. This means that the wood is low in moisture.

The UK has laws to control harmful particles that are created by wood and coal fires. These tiny particles can trigger respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Research has shown that wood burning stoves contribute to 23-31 percent of PM2.5 pollutants in London which is why it is vital to follow the regulations when buying a new stove and taking care when using it in smoke-free zones.
