Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in a region where smoke is controlled it is recommended to use a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves release very little smoke and offer plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have produced a great selection of traditional Defra stoves that feature the latest technology for clean burning. They can be used to burn a variety of fuels including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood-burning stoves of Defra employ the most modern combustion techniques to ensure an efficient and clean burning. This is accomplished by ensuring the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any burning combustibles which aren't completely burned will not escape down the chimney and into the air, where they could create pollution.

These approved wood stoves from Defra are safer for your chimney system and flue because they generate less smoke. This helps keep them cleaner for a longer period of time, reducing maintenance costs and improving the performance of your stove.

In addition, DEFRA approved eco design stoves wood stoves are ideal for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a variety of sizes and heat outputs to suit various homes, so you can locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

Be aware that only stoves that are Defra-approved can be used in smoke-controlled environments, because they are approved to burn authorised fuels. You may be penalized if you burn fuels that are not approved by the DEFRA certified stoves in your Defra-approved stove.

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

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested by an independent lab to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke-free areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than traditional open fires and stoves.

The most reliable Defra-approved stoves are made from untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a moisture content below 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove functions effectively and reduce smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra wood stoves we sell have been certified to be ecodesign ready'. This means that they have been regulated by the EU to be as efficient and as clean burning possible. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for defra approved eco design stoves efficiency and emissions than the federal government's "clearSkies" scheme.

A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an uninterrupted supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary and occasionally even a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove from being starved 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 pollution than older models. This is crucial, as particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They then move through the body before settling in the lungs or the heart. This can cause serious health problems and even premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutants. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a range of health issues, including asthma and other respiratory conditions.

To meet the new standards for air quality, the government has published a draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter 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 harder to purchase and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that are not approved by local authorities could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's important to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance.

We offer a wide range of Defra Stoves which include the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove, which starts at PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-controlled areas and come in many different designs.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove is a wood burner that has passed a series rigorous tests and exams to ensure that it conforms to the Department of Environment's regulations. They are engineered to efficiently burn fuel by reducing harmful pollutants.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, then a DEFRA approved stove is essential. It allows you to burn approved fuels like wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if you were not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are sometimes referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They will also have the SE logo on their name or specification.

The Defra approved logo indicates that the stove has been independently tested and is able to burn wood in the smoke control zone without generating nuisance smoke. It is a good sign that the manufacturer went beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have their top air controls altered to prevent the entire control from being shut. Close the air supply of the stove to stop it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved let you burn wood with a 5" liner, while stoves not approved by DEFRA require the use of a 6" flue liner. This is too big for a lot of UK chimneys.

Another good reason to select a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners and open fires. The latest stoves from the top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax include secondary and tertiary combustion systems to reduce their emissions, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint.

Defra stoves come in various styles to suit your home. They offer a number of advantages and are available in a variety of sizes. Some are more striking than others, such as the Aarrow A08E woodburner that has a large heat output and large glass view window, while others are more subtle such as the minimalist Farringdon stove from Aarrow. You can even get a DEFRA certified stoves stove installed in a recess like the Aarrow I400 cassette stove for an elegant and sleek look to your living space.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are designed to meet or exceed the emission levels required by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they do not release pollutants released into the air. They also produce more heat and use less wood. These benefits make EPA-certified stoves a good choice for anyone who wants to save money on fuel while getting the warm and cozy sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that have been EPA certified could have smaller chimneys and could help you save money on the installation cost. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency can also increase the heating capacity of your stove which will save you money in the cost of fuel.

The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested in accordance with strict regulations and rules that are issued by the government. It also helps manufacturers maintain high standards of quality, and assures that their products are safe to consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low particulate emission and nitrous oxide levels that means they are not releasing harmful gases into the air. This is a huge benefit for homeowners who live in areas with smoke control regulations.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, you are able to burn specific types of fuel on your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified so that you can use a variety different fuels including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other easily-available dry materials that don't generate excessive smoke.

When you purchase a defra exempt stove is usually with a top air vent that restricts how much the stove can be deprived of oxygen during combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and emit black smoke into your home. The top air vent on Defra-exempt stoves is modified to prevent the stove from closing all the way.

Defra stoves are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to provide a comfortable warm and cozy home, while also aiding in reducing the amount of smoke in the air. They are also simple to install and are suitable for installation in homes that have standard flue systems, as long as you have a 6" flue liner.
