Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

When you are looking for a new stove it is essential to ensure that your chosen stove is in compliance with all rules and regulations. It is important to ensure that your stove has been DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas for burning wood or approved smokeless coal.

The stoves come with separate air controls that provide the proper amount of air for secondary and primary combustion. They also have a removable grate and the ash pan to make cleaning easier.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are made to work with a variety of different materials in addition logs. Thermo-free fuels, turf, peat briquettes, anthracite, and other materials can be used. In general, these kinds of materials emit less harmful emissions than logs do. A lot of our multifuel stoves come with clean burn technology, which reduces the amount of particulate matter generated during combustion. The term "clean burn" is also used to refer to other specific technologies that reduce emissions, such as pre-heated secondary air or Ecodesign Ready.

As well as this, many of our multi-fuel stoves feature a raised grate with moving bars or a central riddling grate with an asphan below it that helps to maintain effective combustion conditions. This ensures the combustion process produces the least amount of black smoke possible during operation. This allows the ash to be removed from the bottom of the stove, which can be contained in an asphan below.

If you live in the Smoke Control Area, it's important to purchase a Defra exempt wood burning or multi fuel stove that is Defra approved. This ensures that you will be permitted to use the stove legally provided that it's burning 'authorised fuels' (as as per order DEFRA stoves online guidelines). The reason for this is that stoves that are not approved by DEFRA are susceptible to slumbering, an issue where the combustion system may become starved of oxygen which can result in the formation of black smoke. DEFRA guidelines stoves approved wood burners (or Defra-exempt stoves) have been thoroughly tested and verified to minimize the possibility of slumbering. This provides you with peace of mind knowing that your stove is always clean and efficient when used correctly.

Defra Approved

Stoves that are DEFRA approved (also known as SE or Smoke Exempt) can be used in regions of the UK that are classified as smoke controlled. This includes many cities, towns and urban zones. You could be charged a fine if you live in an area where you burn wood or fuel that is not approved. Stoves that are DEFRA registered stoves approved will provide the minimum amount of air for efficient combustion, meaning that they produce very little, if any, harmful smoke.

Many stove manufacturers are improving their products by adding secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. This makes their stoves more eco friendly and means that they can be used with a wider range of fuels.

When you are buying a new wood burning or multi-fuel stove, it is important to take into consideration whether it's DEFRA approved. This is particularly important if you live in a zone of smoke control.

DEFRA approved stoves will have an adjustment on the top air vent that prevents you from closing it completely. This stops you from robbing the stove of oxygen that could slow its combustion and cause it to start smoulder. The more smouldering happens the more smoke is produced and the less efficient your stove will be.
