Choosing a Defra Approved Woodburner

Defra approved stoves are becoming more and more popular. You can avoid a significant penalty if you live in a smoke-control zone. They also provide additional benefits.

Most Defra-approved woodburners have an altered top-air control, which prevents you from closing it all the down and thereby cutting off oxygen flow to the flame. This prevents the fire from smoldering or producing smoke.

What is an DEFRA approved stove?

DEFRA approved stoves emit less smoke than woodburning stoves or multifuel stoves, which is why they are permitted to be used in Smoke Control Areas.

A Defra approved Stove is also known as a "Smoke Exempt" Stove. In many instances the models are marked with a 'SE' that signifies Smoke Exempt. This means that the stove passed a test designed by DEFRA which is the UK government. The test is designed to measure emission levels and the amount of smoke produced during normal operation. Exempt stoves from DEFRA are permitted to be used in a Smoke Control Area, and they can be fitted with the chimney lining of 5 inches for wood burning (provided the manufacturer doesn't demand having a larger diameter) if this is in accordance with Building Regulations.

Even if you do not reside in a Smoke-Control Area selecting a Defra-approved stove is a great option. They are more environmentally friendly and neighbor friendly. They've been proven to emit less carbon dioxide which could cause nuisance smoke in the air and your chimney and flue system will remain cleaner for longer because they are only compatible with dry seasoned firewood that has not been cut or split in recent times.

Defra-approved stoves are eco-friendly

By choosing a DEFRA-approved wood burning stove you are choosing an eco-friendly and efficient heat source. This is due to the second phase of combustion that is re-burning flue gases which results in a reduction of emissions. DEFRA approved stoves are also cost efficient because they burn fuel more efficiently, which reduces energy consumption in the long term. They are also available in a variety of styles to fit any home aesthetic from contemporary to traditional.

In addition to these technological advancements in technology, the DEFRA approved stove will generally have a high burn rate which means that more of the fuel is used up and less of it is wasted. This makes them far more efficient than older stoves and can result in savings for homeowners.

Defra-approved stoves are more eco sustainable than open flames and log burners. They produce significantly less carbon dioxide emissions than fossil fuels, which contribute to the UK's climate change targets.

In 2022, new stoves must be compliant with Ecodesign regulations that define minimum efficiency standards and introduce ceilings for NOX and OGV (not in place currently) and emissions limits for all wood burning devices. These limits will be much stricter then the DEFRA exemption ceiling currently in use.
