What is a DEFRA Wood Burning Stoves Approved Stove?

If you live in an zone where smoke is controlled and you are considering buying wood-burning stoves, it's important that you choose one that is DEFRA approved or exempt stove. This is because stoves that aren't DEFRA exempt could deprive the log burner of air, resulting in the fuel smouldering and generating high emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

If you select a DEFRA-approved stove you will be able to reduce air pollution. These wood burning stoves are specifically designed to meet the stringent smoke emission standards outlined by the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

The DEFRA stoves we sell feature clean burn technology that ensures that any solid or wood fuel you use will be completely burned before it is able to escape down the chimney. The way in which they accomplish this is by using secondary and sometimes third air intakes to ensure that every speck of smoke is burned before it can leave the stove. This means that your chimney will stay clean for longer and you'll have an efficient stove that consumes less fuel to heat your home.

If you want to know whether you're in a Smoke Control Area then visit the DEFRA website or contact your local authority.

Smoke Exempt

Stoves that are DEFRA wood burning stoves approved have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they are able to be used in smoke-free areas. Bowland Stoves offers a range of DEFRA wood burning stoves that offer low emissions, clean combustion and the potential to save money.

Local authorities have designated Smoke Control Areas to reduce the amount of smog in UK cities and towns. In the past, people used to use whatever fuel they liked in their homes. This resulted in heavy pollution in a variety of areas and caused health issues for the local population. In the past there was no law that regulated this, but now we have to follow the regulations.

To ensure the safety of the public, Defra has created regulations that stipulate which stoves can be used in specific areas, and the kinds of fuels that can be burned in the stoves. If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled, you can only use the DEFRA approved stove and only burn authorised fuels such as coal, logs or pellets. If you purchase a non DEFRA stove and use disallowed fuels that are not permitted, you could be fined as much as PS1000.

A Defra-approved stove will provide the minimum amount air to burn and will result in a minimum amount of smoke emissions. This is the only way to ensure that you can burn wood or other approved fuels in Smoke Control Areas.

To be DEFRA-approved, wood burning stoves and stoves that burn multiple fuels must have a minimum moisture content of 20% to avoid the formation of excessive smoke. To attain this, wood must be treated with a seasoned. It is best to select wood from the Forestry Commission's"Woodsure Ready To Burn" scheme.

When buying a stove to use in a Smoke Control Area then make sure it has the Defra logo or a 'SE' in the middle of its name, this indicates that it is smoke-free. The Defra logo is very easy to recognize and is widely accepted by the industry.

Compliant with Building Regulations

If a stove that burns wood is DEFRA approved, this means that it has been rigorously tested and meets building regulations. This assures that it is safe to use and that the flue system is properly installed. This reduces indoor air pollution and reduces fire hazards. This is especially important for people living in areas of smoke control where it is illegal to burn unauthorised fuels.

Our range of DEFRA stoves come in various sizes and styles so you can choose the perfect option for your home. We offer freestanding models, inglenook and inset that come in modern and traditional styles to suit any decor. Depending on your needs, you can choose a wood burner or a multi-fuel option. All of our DEFRA stoves are fitted with clean-burn technology so that you can be sure that they burn your chosen fuels effectively and efficiently.

DEFRA stoves are also designed to be in compliance with strict regulations regarding smoke emissions in smoke controlled areas. These regulations are designed to reduce the amount of particulate matter that is released into the atmosphere during combustion.

The latest DEFRA wood-burning stoves are designed for this purpose, using advanced combustion systems that don't restrict airflow within the firebox. This allows the wood to be burned more thoroughly and fast and reduces the release of particulate matter to the atmosphere. DEFRA stoves also feature an additional combustion system that reduces emissions further by re-burning unburned combustibles.

While it is possible to install a non-DEFRA compatible stove, this will often require significant modifications to the chimney and flue system. This may require structural changes that could require planning permission. In order to avoid this, we recommend always selecting a DEFRA certified stove when buying a new fireplace or wood-burning stove.

A DEFRA approved stove will also typically have a 5" (125mm) flue outlet. This means you can use a 5" vitreous enamel flue liner that will save you money on installation costs. This is a great option for those on a tight budget or with chimneys that have some difficult bends.

Reduced Emissions

There are many terms when looking for wood-burning stoves. The term DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt stoves mean that they can be used in smoke-controlled areas in the UK.

The stoves have passed an array of tests to ensure they comply with the UK's laws regarding smoking. They do this by incorporating the newest clean-burn technology that makes use of secondary and tertiary combustion to produce cleaner air for your home. This can also help reduce your consumption of fuel as the fuel is burned more efficiently which will reduce the carbon footprint of your home.

The latest technology in DEFRA approved wood burning stoves makes them more environmentally friendly than older open stoves or fires. When properly used, the stove made of wood is carbon-neutral since trees absorb carbon dioxide throughout their growth. It is then released to the atmosphere after they are burned. They are therefore an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

However, the main concern when using a stove that burns wood is the emissions that are produced. The smoke produced by a wood-burning fire has ultrafine particles that are known to cause serious health problems. These particles can cause breathing problems, aggravate asthma symptoms, and cause you to feel unwell. They can also increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, and premature death.

The domestic wood-burning industry is currently the biggest source of PM2.5 pollution, producing three-times as much pollution than road traffic. This is because conventional wood stoves don't use clean burning technologies. It is crucial to purchase a DEFRA-exempt stove if your area is smoke-free, or even if it isn't. They are better for your chimney and the environment.
