Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a smoke control area then you need a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves emit very little smoke and offer plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have produced a great collection of traditional Defra stoves that feature the most modern clean burning technology. These stoves can burn a variety of fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood burning stoves utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure an efficient and clean burning. They do this by ensuring that the fire isn't starved of oxygen. This means that any combustibles that aren't fully burned will not escape down the chimney and into the air where they can cause pollution.

These Defra approved wood stoves are also more suitable for your chimney and flue system since they produce less smoke than traditional stoves. This helps keep them clean longer, reduce costs for maintenance and increase the performance of your wood stove.

Defra wood stoves are also the perfect choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a variety of sizes and outputs that can be used to fit different homes, so you will be able to locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

It's important to keep in mind that only Defra approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled areas as they have been approved to burn approved fuels and wood. You may be penalized if you burn non-approved fuels in your stove that is Defra-approved.

The best Defra approved stoves to use are those made of hard, dry untreated wood with a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove works efficiently and reduce smoke and Fireplacesandstove increase the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means they've been checked to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations set higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The major benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce much less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is due to the fact that they were designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary, air intake. This stops the stove from being deprived of air during the process of combustion and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke that it releases.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particulate pollution than earlier models. This is crucial because particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and circulate around the body, lodging in the lungs as well as the heart. This can cause serious health problems and even premature death.

The EU wants to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that the latest models produce less harmful pollutants. It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory issues.

To meet the new targets for air quality, the government has published a draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a reduction in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

To achieve this it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved will be penalized by local authorities up to PS1,000 per hour that they emit smoke. If you live in a region where smoke is controlled, it's important to purchase a DEFRA approved stove.

If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled and smoke-free, the use of a DEFRA stove is required. You can burn approved fuels such as wood and multifuels, which would be restricted if not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved can be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been independently tested and has been proven to burn wood in an area that is smoke-free without producing nuisance smoke. It's a sign that the manufacturer went over the rules.

Some stoves have been given a top air control adjusted so that it cannot be shut completely. Close the air supply of a log burner to prevent it from burning and generating black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved permit you to burn wood with 5" liner, while stoves that aren't approved by DEFRA require the use of a 6" flue liner. This is too big for a lot of UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove can be more eco-friendly than earlier models or open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers like Arada, Burley Parkray, and Stovax have secondary and tertiary systems that reduce emissions. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of their users.
