Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in an area that has smoke control, you will need a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves release very little smoke and are able to provide plenty of heat, light and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have developed a range of Defra stoves that are traditional styled, but have the latest clean burning technology. They can be used to burn a variety of fuels including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood stoves from Defra utilize the latest technology for combustion to ensure clean and efficient burning. They accomplish this by ensuring that the fire isn't depleted of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles that are not fully burnt are not escaping up the chimney into the air, where they can pollute the air.

These Defra approved wood stoves are also better for your chimney and flue system since they produce less smoke than traditional stoves. This helps keep them cleaner for 125.141.133.9 longer which will reduce maintenance costs while improving the performance of your stove.

Defra wood stoves also make the perfect choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they permit you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without breaking the law. There are a range of sizes and outputs available to suit different homes, so you can locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

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

Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This Defra approved wood-burning stove comes with an impressive ClearSkies rating and energy rating of A+. It has been made with efficiency in mind, with an internal air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emissions rate of 0.26g/h.

In addition to meeting DEFRA emission standards This stove has been tested by an independent lab to a stringent SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and can be used in smoke-free areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than traditional stoves and open fires.

The best stoves that are Defra-approved are made from untreated, hard wood that is dry and indoor has a a moisture content below 20%. This will ensure that the stove works efficiently and reduce smoke and increase the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra wood stoves we offer have been certified to be 'Ecodesign Ready'. This means they have been checked to be as efficient and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the federal government's "clearSkies" scheme.

A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than one that isn't certified. The reason is that they are designed to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a third, air intake. This stops the stove from being deprived of air during the process of combustion and thus reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollutants than older models. This is important, because particulate contaminants can enter the bloodstream. They then move through the body before settling in the lungs or the heart. This could cause serious health issues including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves emit much less harmful emissions than older models however, the EU still wants to cut down on pollution from all sources. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory ailments.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality The government has released the draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a substantial reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners.

In order to achieve this it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not certified by local authorities can be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. This is why it's so crucial to purchase a DEFRA approved stove if you live in a zone that is smoke-free.

We have a selection of Defra stoves available which includes the Classic 5 clean burn multi-fuel stove that starts at just PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-free environments and are available in various styles.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove is a wood burner that has passed a series of rigorous tests and exams to ensure that it conforms to the regulations of the Department for Environment. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and reduce harmful pollution.

If you live in a smoke controlled area then the use of a DEFRA approved stove is essential. It allows you to burn approved fuels such as wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved may be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and will have the SE logo in their name or in the specifications.

The Defra approved logo means the stove has been tested independently and has been proven to burn wood in a smoke control zone without generating harmful smoke. It's a sign that the manufacturer has gone further than the norm to ensure compliance with the rules.

Certain stoves have had their top air control adjusted to ensure that it can't be shut completely. The air supply that is shut off to a log burner will deprive it of oxygen which impedes its combustion and creates black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved permit you to burn wood with a 5" liner, whereas stoves that are not approved by DEFRA require a 6" flue liner. This is too large for a lot of UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove can be more eco-friendly than earlier models or open fires. The latest stoves by leading manufacturers like Arada, Burley Parkray, and Stovax have secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of their owners.

Defra stoves are available in various styles to suit your home. They come with a range of advantages and are available in a range of sizes. Some are more striking like the Arizona A08E with its huge heat output, while others are more subtle, such as the minimalist Farringdon from Aarrow. You can even get a DEFRA stove incorporated in a recess like the Aarrow i400 cassette stove for an elegant, clean look to your living space.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are certified by the EPA. They meet or exceed emission levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to make sure that they reduce the amount pollutants released into the air. They also produce more warmth with less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves a great choice for anyone who wants to save money on fuel while still getting the warm and cozy sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that have been EPA certified could be able to use a smaller chimney and could help you save money on installation costs. This is due to the fact that they are designed to burn more efficiently than other stoves. This efficiency can also increase the heating capacity, which can help you save money on fuel costs over time.

The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested compliance with strict regulations and rules that are established by the government. It also assists manufacturers to maintain quality standards and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low nitrous oxide and particulate emission levels, which means they will not release harmful gases into the air. This is a significant benefit for homeowners living in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, you are only able to burn certain kinds of fuels in your stove. Defra approved stoves have been modified to allow you to burn a variety of different types of fuels, including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that do not produce excessive smoke.

When you purchase a defra exempt stove, it will usually come with a top air vent that restricts how much the stove can be depleted of oxygen during the combustion. This is because too much oxygen can cause the stove to smolder and emit black smoke into your home. The top air vent on stoves that are exempt from DEFRA stoves ratings is altered to prevent the stove from closing all the way.

DEFRA compliant stoves stoves have become increasingly popular due to their capability to provide a warm and comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are also simple to install and can be installed in homes that have standard flue systems, so long as you have a 6" flue liner.
