Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There is a great range of defra exempt multi-fuel stoves that will fit in with any home. Defra approved stoves are compliant with the regulations of the government and are designed to burn fuel efficiently with low emissions.

This is particularly important especially if you live in a smoke-control area. But even if do not need to, the Defra stove is safer for your chimney and the neighbours.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed that on our website, a number wood burning stoves are listed either as DEFRA exempted or Defra approved sustainable stoves approved. To the average homeowner these terms may seem like jargon they don't need to pay attention to but that is not the reality.

DEFRA is the acronym for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and they manage regulations and policies concerning the environment, farming and food. Defra approved products have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they adhere to the strict guidelines of the government for smoke emissions during operation. These stoves are specifically designed to burn the fuels of coal and wood more efficiently. This means they emit less pollutants.

This is a good thing for those living in a Smoke Control Area as the law currently bans the release of smoke in these areas unless you use a DEFRA approved stove and a fuel that is authorised. In the past it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long as you used only authorised fuels. In January 2022, the laws will be altered and stoves that aren't approved will not be permitted to be used unless equipped with a secondary and secondary system that reduces their productions of particulate carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

Our Defra approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism that stops you from closing the top air vent completely. This could result in the fire to smolder and release smoke into your home. Instead, these stoves come with an adjustable air feed which lets you open the top vent slightly and still keep an efficient and safe burn.

A stove that is Defra-approved can be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is important because many codes require a chimney to have a minimum 5-inch diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a smoke-control area you'll require a DEFRA-approved stove to use wood legally in your home. DEFRA has tested these stoves to ensure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions required in smoke control zones. On the Defra website, you can find a list of places that require a Defra-approved stove.

Multifuel stoves and stoves exempt from Defra

A Defra approved wood stove, also known as a DEFRA Multi Wood Burning Stove or Fuel that has been through a rigorous test developed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. The UK government agency responsible to protect our natural environment, promoting the food and agriculture industries and maintaining a thriving rural economic. The tests Defra Approved Stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance emits only low levels of grit and smoke when it's operating.

Stove Supermarket stocks a number of Defra Exempt Stoves that are multi-fuel stoves. This means you can burn smokeless, authorised wood as well as well-seasoned fuels. They will often be called Defra stoves or Defra approved woodburners and they are often abbreviated as SE.

The most modern Defra stoves for woodburning and multi-fuel are equipped with secondary and tertiary venting systems that ensure the wood is completely burned prior to leaving the chimney. This is a cleaner procedure than leaving a fire in the fire to burn for a long time and it reduces the amount of smoke that is generated.

If you are living or planning to move into an area designated as a Smoke Control Area then a exempted stove from Defra is an excellent option for you. It is not only more eco-friendly and efficient, but it also helps reduce the nuisance smoke which can make your neighbors angry.

You can still enjoy open fires, barbecues and pizza ovens in your backyard but be aware that excessive or toxic smoke could be a nuisance for the law and you may be fined. You are also not allowed to use damp, wet or rotting wood or other fuels in an open flame or stove inside an area designated as a Smoke Control Area.

Burning Other Fuels

Defra Approved Stoves are made to burn a variety of fuels, including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they are in compliance with strict government regulations for emissions when operating in smoke control zones. This means that you can use them legally in any smoke control area as long as you're burning fuels that are approved, such as logs, pellets and brquettes. Stoves that are Defra Approved are usually identified with the a 'SE' logo which stands for Smoke Exempt.

A Defra-approved stove is different from a standard multifuel stove due to its secondary air vents which pre-heat air prior to entering the firebox. This pre-heated, heated and pre-heated air ensures that all fuel is ignited to produce a cleaner combustion. It also prevents the build-up of soot in the chimney and keeps it from clogging. Defra stoves also come with internal baffle plates that aid to regulate the flames and maintain an uniform heat distribution.

Stoves that are not approved by DEFRA in areas that are smoke-free could result in substantial fines from the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). If you want to avoid being charged by Defra make sure you use a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested according to the guidelines of the government.

DEFRA stoves are also known as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with most kinds of fuel, but they are particularly suited to dry soft and hard wood. They're built with air vents that cannot be closed completely so that the stove will always have oxygen to ensure clean combustion and minimise soot and noxious gases.

This technology is not only compliant with the current air quality standards but also the upcoming Ecodesign requirements that will go in 2022. A large portion of Stovax wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell will bear this SIA Ecodesign Ready mark which confirms that they meet the new standards for emissions. These new standards are being introduced as part of the ongoing efforts by the government to ensure that the air in the country is healthy and clean.

Installation

If you live in a smoke control area then a Defra exempt multi fuel stove can help you comply with the regulations. This is because these multi fuel and wood burning stoves have been tested independently to ensure they comply with the strict standards of smoke emissions that are required in a Smoke Control Area. These stoves can burn wood or other fuels such as coal, without worrying about the level of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved can reduce smoke levels by using advanced combustion technology that produces less smokiness. These stoves employ the second stage of combustion, which burns the waste products that were burned in the first stage. This makes them more efficient and cleaner. In addition to the reduction in emissions the stoves also lessen the amount of soot that accumulates within the flue and chimney.

This is an excellent option if you reside in a smoke-free area as it means that you can enjoy a real fire more often and for longer, with the added benefit of having lower utility bills. Due to the less pollution, these types of wood burning and multi fuel stoves are also good for the environment as they can burn a wider range of materials than other stoves.

Most stoves can be transformed into DEFRA exempt by using the simple kit supplied by the manufacturer. This kit alters the vents for air on the stove to ensure that they do not shut at night. This is referred to as slumbering, and allows part-burned combustibles and flammables to escape into the air instead of going up the chimney, where they could block the flue. DEFRA approved stoves don't slumber and are better for the environment. They also tend to block chimneys less often.

It is recommended that an HETAS certified installer or Building Control officer install your DEFRA approved appliance to get the best DEFRA stoves out of it. This will provide you with the assurance that your installation has been done to the proper specifications and is in compliance with the latest regulations. It will also help protect your warranty as the installer can self-certify their own work.
