Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There are a range of multi-fuel stoves that are exempt from defra regulations. Defra approved stoves comply with government regulations and are engineered for fuel efficiency with low emissions.

This is particularly crucial especially if you reside in a smoke-free area. Even if you don't need to, it is important to know that a Defra Stove is better for your chimney, and your neighbors.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed that on our website, several wood-burning stoves are listed as DEFRA exempted or DEFRA approved. These terms may seem like jargon to the average homeowner, but they're not.

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are responsible for policies and regulations relating to food, agriculture and the environment. Defra approved products have been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they adhere to the government's strict guidelines for smoke emissions during operation. They are also designed to burn authorised fuels like coal and wood more efficiently, which means that they produce far fewer pollutants.

It's a great thing for those who live in a Smoke Control Area because the law currently prohibits smoke emissions in these areas unless using a DEFRA-approved stove with an approved fuel. In the past, it has been possible to install a non-Defra certified stove in a Smoke Control Area as long as you only used approved fuels, such as wood. However, from January 2022, the rules are changing and stoves that aren't approved are not permitted to be installed at all unless they are fitted with a secondary or tertiary combustion system that can dramatically reduce the production of particulate matter and NOx, carbon dioxide and organic gaseous compounds.

Our Defra approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism that prevents you from closing the top air vent completely. This could lead to the fire smouldering and emitting smoke into your home. These stoves come with an adjustable air supply that lets you open the top vent a bit and still keep the safety of a clean, efficient burn.

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

Smoke Control Areas

If you reside in a smoke control area, you will need a Defra approved stove if you wish to legally burn wood in your home. DEFRA has tested these stoves to confirm that they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions in smoke zones for control. You can view the list of areas for which you require a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

The UK government agency is responsible to protect our natural environment, supporting the food and agriculture industries and ensuring a vibrant rural economic. The tests Defra Approved stoves must pass are designed to ensure that the appliance only produces very little smoke and grit when it is in operation.

A lot of the Defra Exempt stoves we stock at Stove Supermarket are multi fuel stoves which allow you to burn approved smokeless fuels, as well as seasoned wood. These stoves are also referred to as Defra stoves, Defra approved wooden burners and are abbreviated SE.

The most modern DEFRA accredited stoves woodburning and multi-fuel stoves are equipped with secondary and tertiary air ventilation systems that ensure that the wood is fully burned before it leaves the chimney. This is a much cleaner procedure than leaving a log fire on the fire to burn for long periods and reduces the amount of nuisance smoke that could be emitted.

If you live in a Smoke Control Area, or in the process of moving to one, a Defra exempt stove is a great option for your home. It is not only more eco-friendly, but it also helps reduce the nuisance smoke which can cause a disturbance to your neighbors.

You are also not allowed to burn damp, wet or rotting wood or any other fuels in an open fire or stove in an area designated as a Smoke Control Area.

Burning Other Fuels

Defra Approved stoves are engineered to burn a wide range of fuels including wood. They burn wood with such efficiency that they meet the government's strict regulations for emissions in smoke control areas. You can use them in any smoke-control area, provided they are burning approved fuels, such as logs, briquettes and pellets. Stoves that have been approved by Defra are usually identified with the a 'SE' logo which signifies Smoke Exempt.

A Defra-approved stove is different from a typical multifuel stove because it has secondary air vents which pre-heat air before it enters into the firebox. This pre-heated air helps ensure that the entire fuel is ignited and burned, which results in more efficient combustion. It also prevents the build-up of soot in the chimney and keeps it from becoming blocked. Defra stoves have internal baffles that help control the flames, and maintain a uniform heat distribution.

Using non-Defra approved stoves in areas that are smoke-free could result in substantial fines from the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). To avoid the risk of being charged by Defra you should only buy and make use of a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested to the government's strict criteria.

DEFRA registered stoves stoves can also be called Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with most types of fuel, however, they are most effective with wood that is soft and dry. They are designed with air vents that can't be completely closed so the stove will always receive oxygen to support clean combustion and minimise the risk of noxious gases and soot.

This technology not only complies with the current standards for air quality but also future Ecodesign requirements which will come into effect in 2022. Stovax wood-burning stoves and multifuel stoves will be marked with the SIA Ecodesign Ready label, that confirms they comply with the new stricter emission standards. These new standards are part of the government's ongoing efforts to ensure that the air in the country healthy and clean.

Installation

If you live in a Smoke Control Zone, a Defra-exempt multifuel stove can assist you in complying with the rules. This is because these wood burning and multi fuel stoves have been independently tested to ensure they meet the strict standards for smoke emissions required in a Smoke Control Area. They can be used to burn wood or other authorised fuels like coal without having to worry about the quantity of smoke they generate.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved are able to reduce smoke levels by using advanced combustion technology that produces less smoke. They employ an additional stage of combustion that re-burns waste products from the first stage. This makes them cleaner and more efficient. In addition to reducing emissions they also reduce the amount of soot build-up within the flue and chimney.

This is great news for those who reside in a smoke-free zone as it means you can enjoy a real fire more often and for longer with the added benefit of lower utility bills. As a result of the lower levels of pollution, these kinds of wood-burning and multi fuel stoves are also eco-friendly since they can use a wider range of materials than other stoves.

A simple kit provided by the manufacturer can make many stoves DEFRA-exempt. This kit alters the air vents of the stove to ensure that they do not close at night. This is known as slumbering and it allows part-burned combustibles to be released into the air instead of going up the chimney where they can block the flue. DEFRA approved stoves do not slumber and are better for the environment. They also prevent chimneys from being blocked less often.

To make the most of your DEFRA approved stove it is recommended DEFRA stoves you have it professionally installed by an HETAS registered installer or a Building Control Officer. This will ensure that your installation has been completed according to the correct specifications and complies with the latest regulations. In addition, it can also help ensure your warranty since the installer will be able to self-certify their work.
