What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra-approved multi-fuel stove is one which has passed the Defra test for smoke. They can also be called SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The government's Defra department is responsible for implementing rules and regulations related to the environment, farming and rural issues. The Defra Test ensures that you can burn wood, approved smokeless fuels such as Anthracite ovals in a smoke-controlled area without disturbing neighbors.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves make use of sustainable fuels and materials to reduce emissions. Eco-friendly stoves are generally designed to burn wood, or a combination with other approved fuels. There are many eco-friendly multi-fuel stoves and log burners that are available, ranging from modern to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves use dung as a sustainable and carbon-negative alternative to wood.

The most important factor in making sure that your stove is eco-friendly is to make sure that the fuel you are using is properly seasoned and kiln dried. This reduces the moisture content of the wood and allows it to burn more efficiently. It is also a good idea to buy only wood that comes from sustainable forests. When purchasing wood, look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' label to ensure that it has been dried properly.

Most of the newer stoves are compliant with the strict EU EcoDesign Standards. These standards require that stove manufacturers create wood burning stoves that are energy efficient and with environmental protection in the back of their minds. Ecodesign stoves must be designed to take into consideration the environment, energy efficiency, and the reduction of waste. These are among the cleanest and eco-friendly stoves on the market today.

Another way to make your stove green is to substitute the grate with a ceramic one. It is not just attractive, but it is also anti-smoking and helps to reduce the amount of sulphur oxide that is in the air. In addition, ceramic grate liners are easy to keep clean and last longer than steel inserts for grates.

In a Smoke Control Area you can still use a wood-burner or multi-fuel stove. However, it is important to only use approved fuels by Defra. You could be in violation of the law if you don't. To avoid this, you should only use Defra approved fuels, such as an amorphous smokeless oval in your stove.

Clean Burning

Multi fuel stoves that are approved by Defra are only permitted to be used in smoke-controlled areas if they burn only authorised smokeless fuel. It can be a non-smokeless log, anthracite, or a manufactured or natural product. The stove makers must comply with the rules for selling an exempt from DEFRA wood burner. Here at The Stove Yard we have an incredible selection of DEFRA approved wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves made by top DEFRA stoves brands like Arada, Parkray, Burley, Stovax and many more.

The Defra-exempt stoves employ the latest combustion technology to reduce emissions and tar accumulation within your chimney or flue system. The stoves use secondary and tertiary systems to ignite particulates, tar gases and other pollutants before they are released into the air. This is the reason Defra approved wood burning stoves are so much cleaner than open fires and older generation stoves.

The design of the Defra approved stove is also different The majority of our stoves include an internal mechanism hidden within the stove that allows for a small continuous circulation of air into the fire, even when the air vents are shut. This stops ash and soot from being blown through the fireplace, which could cause dangerous chimney fires.

The new Defra-approved stoves don't allow you to completely close the vents to let air in and then sleep on the stove for a night, which can send part-burned combustibles to the atmosphere.

A DEFRA approved stove will also offer you a much longer burn time than non-Defra models, but it's important to note that if you switched your authorised fuel for smokeless coal and wanted to slumber your stove overnight then this would shorten the burn time due to the continuous supply of air needed for slumbering would reduce the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Reduced Emissions

If used correctly, a DEFRA exempt stove can create very low levels of emission. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles, which, if inhaled, could cause various health issues, including heart problems and lung diseases.

The high efficiency of combustion in a DEFRA approved wood burner minimizes the amount of harmful particles and pollution released during the burning process. This reduces the impact of the burning process on the environment.

As well as decreasing harmful emissions, the efficiency of a stove can reduce the cost of heating your home. Utilizing the DEFRA approved wood burning stove over a conventional gas boiler can reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on your energy bills.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, it's essential to make sure that your stove is DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt as this will allow you to use Defra approved fuels like manufactured smokeless coal ovals, such as Anthracite and Homefire as well as dried wood and other authorised solid fuels. This will let you enjoy your fireplace without having to worry about whether the smoke could disturb your neighbors.

Many stoves are, in addition to being DEFRA-approved, are tested in accordance with clearSkies standards and are able to be labeled with the clearSkies label. The clearSkies mark is an independent system that requires stove manufacturers to display information about their appliances efficiency and emissions so that consumers can make an informed choice. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating, emissions, and the type and size.

It is important to keep in mind that, like with Ecodesign the clearSkies regulations are minimum standards. Manufacturers can go above and over these. ESSE for instance, has engineered its latest stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning and produce less particulates, without sacrificing performance or control. This latest development uses the patented twin catalytic combustion technique that burns off the smoke particles it releases significantly reducing their impact on the atmosphere.

In fact, if you're in a smoke controlled zone and use a DEFRA Approved stove with a good quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll generate as much, or more heat from the same amount of dry wood as if you were burning it on a non-DEFRA Approved stove. In fact, it could be up to 24 per cent cheaper to heat your home with the latest Defra Approved stove than conventional gas boilers.
