Emissions reduced

Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are not only environmentally friendly but also help reduce emissions at home. The main pollutant emitted by burning solid fuels like coal and wood is ultra-fine particulate matter also referred to as PM2.5. Fine particles can enter the lungs, leading to respiratory ailments and heart diseases.

Modern multi-fuel stoves approved by DEFRA are designed to cut down on the amount of this harmful substance. Most of the stoves featured here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have undergone rigourous testing to ensure that they operate well from the new manufacturing limit of 3g/hour of smoke emission for appliances used in Smoke Control Areas. We also have several models that have been approved by clearSkies which is an independent scheme that provides additional reductions in emissions.

These systems help to reduce the amount of volatile gases produced by solid fuels such as wood, and convert them into heat energy. This means that you'll use less of your favourite fuel to get the same amount of heating, meaning that your fuel bills will be lower as well!

This is an excellent feature However, it's important note that Defra approved stoves do not have the same time to burn as non-Defra certified stoves. This is due to the fact that an ongoing supply of secondary and secondary combustion air is needed to prevent the fuel from smouldering. Therefore, if you are planning to use your stove for sleeping burning (i.e burning for the night) it is recommended that you purchase the Defra Approved stove will not allow you to extend your fuel supply as much as a non-Defra model.

Smoke control regulations

DEFRA approved wood-burning stoves may be used in smoke control zones (check online to determine whether you are in one). In areas that have smoke control the emissions from log burners are restricted to prevent nuisance smoke. This helps to prevent the release into the air of harmful substances which could cause a disturbance to neighbors or cause health issues for those living nearby. It is crucial to use a DEFRA-approved cooking stove in a smoke-controlled location to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are usually urban areas with a large population density, like cities and towns with large populations. Smoke control regulations are designed to maintain air quality by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves that are in compliance with these regulations and have been tested and certified to make sure they produce minimal emissions. This is vital to ensure the health and safety of the people who live in these areas.

It is important to remember, too, that smoke-free stoves should only be used in conjunction with approved fuels such as dry, and well-seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn damp fuels or wet wood in a smoking control zone since they could produce excessive smoke. Burning household waste such as old furniture, pallets, and fencing is also illegal since they've likely been treated with chemicals that could release toxins into the air when burned. To avoid excessive emissions, it is best to choose firewood with an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is operated correctly and prevent excessive emissions. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great option to purchase firewood with this need in mind.

A DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove can be used to burn a variety of kinds of fuels, meaning you can enjoy a warm fireplace all year long without having to change the chimney system. It is important to remember that your stove will need regular maintenance and cleaning to operate properly and efficiently.
