Choosing a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove

These are often known as Defra Exempt Appliances and they permit you to burn approved smokeless coal and logs, without producing smoke that is not considered to be nuisance.

Defra Approved

Anyone who lives in an area that has smoke control in place must use a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure they do not emit any smoke. They also pass strict emission tests and satisfy requirements of the government for the Clean Air Act. DEFRA approved appliances are made and designed in a way that they burn wood efficiently which results in a minimal amount of smoke. This is achieved by ensuring that the stove has enough combustion air flow throughout the day.

Stoves that are designed to burn a variety of different fuels usually have an elevated grate designed to allow air to circulate beneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels, such as peat briquettes or turf briquettes, require a large amount of air to ignite and burn. The majority of multi fuel stoves feature an additional air flow that can be shut or opened depending on the kind of fuel you're using. This can help keep the fire burning by supplying a larger amount of air to the stove, and will also increase the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary air flow systems in the stove can be used to adjust the height of the flame and the temperature of the fire. This is important as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat. By keeping the flame the right temperature and height, you can ensure that your stove operates as efficiently as it can while producing the highest amount of heat.

It is also necessary to remove the ash from your stove regularly and place it in a bucket or ash pan. This will prevent too much ash from accumulating on the grate bars and also preventing your fuel from burning properly.

Energy Efficiency

The majority of modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximize the efficiency of their heat output, by using secondary and tertiary sources to minimize emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible.
