If you prefer a less sombre finish, you could select a stove with an enamel coating. This provides an even, glossy surface that is easy to clean and will blend with most interior colors.

Emissions reduced

Multi-fuel stoves approved by Defra are not just eco friendly but also help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in your home. The most significant pollutant released by solid fuels, such as wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). These fine particles can penetrate the lungs, causing respiratory illness or even heart disease.

Fortunately, the latest DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have been designed to reduce levels of this dangerous gas. The majority of the stoves available here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have undergone rigorous tests to ensure they operate far under the new limit of manufacturing of 3g/hour smoke emission for appliances that are installed in Smoke Control Areas. We also have several models that are endorsed by clearSkies, an independent scheme that provides additional reductions in emissions.

If you reside in a Smoke Control Area, it is vital to make use of only well-seasoned and dried wood to avoid excessive smokiness. However, if you do prefer to make use of fossil fuels in your multi-fuel stove, there are plenty of alternatives that are smoke-free and help to significantly reduce the amount of harmful gases that your stove produces.

The most recent DEFRA-approved stoves such as those in our selection, offer the third and second-generation combustion system that reduces the carbon footprint of users as well as air pollution. These systems help to burn more volatile gases produced by solid fuels, such as wood, and convert them into heat energy. You'll make use of less fuel to reach the same heating level, which will reduce your expenses for fuel.

This is an excellent feature however, it's important to note that Defra approved stoves don't offer the same time to burn as non-Defra certified stoves. This is due to the fact that an ongoing supply of secondary and tertiary combustion air is required to keep the fuel from smouldering. This is why, if intend to make use of your stove for slumber burning (i.e burning over the course of the night) then it is important to choose a Defra Approved stove cannot extend the fuel supply as much as a non-Defra model could.

Conforms to regulations on smoke control

DEFRA approved wood-burning stoves can be used in smoke-control zones (check online to determine whether you are in one). In areas with smoke control the emissions from log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This helps to prevent the release of harmful substances into the air that could upset neighbours and cause health issues for those living close to. Making sure you use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke controlled area is essential to avoid being fined if the stove is found to be emitting excessive quantities of smoke.

Smoke control areas are usually urban locations in which the population density is higher, which typically includes large cities and towns. The main purpose of smoke control regulations is to preserve standards for air quality by limiting the emission of particulates into the air. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves are compliant with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure they produce minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensure the health and safety of those who live in these areas.

It is also important to remember that smoke-free stoves should only be used with approved fuels such as dry well-seasoned and well-seasoned firewood. It is not legal to burn damp fuels or wet wood in a smoking control zone because they can create excessive smoke. It is not legal to burn household waste such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated with chemicals that release toxic substances when they are burned. To avoid excessive emissions, it is recommended to choose firewood that has an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is operated correctly and prevent excessive emissions. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent choice for purchasing firewood that meets this requirement.

A DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove will be able to burn a variety of different types of fuel so you can have a cozy fire all year round without having to change your chimney. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that your stove requires regular maintenance and cleaning in order to perform at a high level and effectively. If you neglect to maintain your stove regularly, it will be less efficient in reducing emissions and may even damage the chimney's flue system or chimney.
