These stoves are capable of burning various types of fuels including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood burning stoves utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burning. This is accomplished by ensuring that the fire doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any part-burned burning combustibles which aren't completely burned won't escape up the chimney and into the air, where they could cause pollution.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are safer for your chimney and flue as they produce less smoke. This will keep them cleaner longer, reduce maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of your wood stove.

SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emission and are 66% more efficient than older stoves and open fireplaces.

The most effective Defra approved stoves to use are made of dry, untreated wood with a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove is operating properly and will also reduce smoke and increase heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

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

The main advantage of a Defra approved stove is that it produces much less smoke than an uncertified stove. The reason is that they are designed to ensure a constant flow of air into the fire. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes a third, air intake. This ensures that the stove is not starved of oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollutants than older models. This is important because particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body, settling in the lungs and the heart. This can lead to serious health problems, including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves produce far less harmful pollutants than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU is still seeking to cut down on pollution from all sources. It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory ailments.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality targets. 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.

One of the methods it plans to achieve this is to make it more difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in areas with smoke control. Stoves that are not approved will be fined by local authorities, ranging from PS1,000 for each hour they release smoke. This is why it's important to purchase a DEFRA approved stove if you reside in a smoke controlled area.

Stoves that are Defra approved also typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, however non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner which is too large for many UK chimneys.
