The Defra logo is usually visible on the appliance or written in the specifications to show it can be used in Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also have a high energy efficiency rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

We offer a variety of wood burning stoves which are Defra-approved. This means that they are able to meet stricter emission standards when they are used with wood or other approved fuels. These stoves have been independently tested and are designed to burn a variety of fuels. A stove that is approved by Defra will feature features like secondary and tertiary combustion that maximize the use of energy consumed and minimize harmful gasses.

Defra approved multifuel stoves are usually marked with a 'SE' logo or SE (which is a reference to smoke exempt) after their name, which means that the stove has been tested by an independent third party to confirm that it can be used legally in a Smoke Control Area with logs and other approved solid fuels. The testing process involves several tests to test on the stove's performance under various conditions, and to confirm that it generates a minimum of 5 grams of particles per kilogram when burning wood.

To comply with this standard, DEFRA approved low emission stoves-approved stoves have an upgraded top air vent that prevents the user from closing the top vent completely. Closing the top vent to much will decrease the flow of oxygen to the fire, causing it to smoulder instead of burn.

Defra approved stoves are built with secondary and tertiary combustion methods that help to burn fuel at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is achieved by using stainless steel liners and convection technology that pushes air down the chimney even after the fire has been put out. This allows the stoves to burn wood more efficiently and generate less emissions.

When you shut off the air supply to the stove it stops burning properly and starts to smolder and produce a lot of smoke. Defra approved appliances allow you to partially close the vent but not completely, so that the fire can burn at a lower temperature and still comply with UK legislation.
