Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in an area where smoke is controlled it is recommended to use a DEFRA-approved wood stove. They emit a tiny amount of smoke and are able to provide plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray and Stovax have developed a selection of traditional Defra stoves which come with the most modern clean burning technology. These stoves are capable of burning various types of fuel including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood stoves from Defra utilize the latest combustion technology to ensure clean and efficient burning. This is achieved by ensuring that the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burned will not escape up the chimney into the air which could pollute the air.

These approved wood stoves from DEFRA approved stylish stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue because they generate less smoke. This will keep them cleaner longer, cut down on costs for maintenance and increase the efficiency of your wood stove.

Additionally, Defra wood stoves are ideal for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they permit you to use smokeless fuels and wood without breaking the law. There are a variety of sizes and DEFRA approved Stoves outputs to suit various home types, so you can find the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

It is important to remember that only Defra approved stoves should be used in smoke controlled areas since they are pre-approved to burn authorised wood and fuels. You may be penalized if you burn fuels that are not approved by the Defra in your stove that is Defra-approved.

If you're looking for the most efficient Defra approved stove take a look at the Stovax ST2. This Defra approved wood burning stove has an impressive ClearSkies rating and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient and has an air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1. Smoke emissions are very low at 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards This stove has been tested by an independent lab to a stringent SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than old open fires and stoves.

The most efficient Defra approved stoves are those made of hard, dry untreated wood that has an average moisture content of 20% or lower. This will not only ensure that the stove functions efficiently, but it will also reduce the amount of smoke it produces and boost the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra wood stoves we sell have been certified as Ecodesign Ready'. This means they are regulated by the EU to be as efficient and clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards of efficiency and emissions than government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The main advantage of a Defra approved stove is that it will produce much less smoke than an uncertified stove. The reason for this is because they are designed to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes even tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being starved of air during the process of combustion and thus reduces the amount of black smoke that it produces.

Modern stoves are designed to emit less harmful particulate matter than previous models. This is important because particulate matter can get into the bloodstream and be carried through the body, eventually settling in the lungs and heart. This can lead to serious health issues including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves generate significantly less harmful pollution than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU continues to seek ways to reduce the amount of pollution from all sources. This is because it has been linked to a number of health issues, such as asthma and other respiratory ailments.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help achieve the new air quality goals. 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 household fuel emissions, including wood stoves.

To accomplish 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 by local authorities could be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's important to buy a DEFRA-approved stove.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a string of tests and tests to be in compliance with Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to make use of fuel more efficiently by reducing harmful pollution.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, then the use of a DEFRA approved stove is essential. It permits you to burn approved fuels such as wood and other multifuels that would typically be restricted if you were not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They will also have the SE logo on their name or specifications.

The Defra logo signifies that the stove has undergone independent testing and has been verified to be able to burn wood in a smoke-control zone, without producing nuisance fumes. It's a indication that the manufacturer has gone above and beyond to comply with the regulations.

Some stoves have been given a top air control altered to ensure that it can't be closed completely. Close the air supply of the log burner to prevent it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, whereas non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner, which is too big for many UK chimneys.

Another reason to consider a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners or open fires.

The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested in conformity with strict rules and regulations that are set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintaining quality standards, and ensures that their products are safe to consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low levels of nitrous oxide and particulate emissions levels, which means they will not release harmful gases into the air. This is a huge benefit for homeowners who live in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, you can only burn certain types of fuel in your stove. Defra approved stoves are now able to allow you to burn a range of different fuels, including authorised smokeless fuels. These are typically brquettes, or other readily available dry materials that do not emit excessive smoke.
