Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in a smoke-free zone then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves will provide plenty of heat, flames and light, while not emitting any smoke.

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

Efficient Combustion

The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burning. They accomplish this by ensuring that the fire is not being depleted of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burnt will not escape up the chimney into the atmosphere, where they can cause pollution.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are more suitable for your chimney and flue since they emit less smoke. This helps keep them cleaner for a longer period of time while reducing the cost of maintenance and enhancing the performance of your stove.

Defra wood stoves are also the perfect choice for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels, without violating the law. You can select from a range of sizes and heat outputs to fit your home.

It's important to remember that only Defra approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled areas as they have been pre-approved to burn authorised fuels and wood. If you burn a fuel that isn't approved in your Defra approved stove, you could be fined.

If you're looking for an extremely efficient Defra approved stove, look no further than the Stovax ST2. This Defra approved wood burning stove has an impressive ClearSkies rating and an energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient and has an air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1. Smoke emissions are low at 0.26g/h.

In addition to meeting DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested independently to a rigorous SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than traditional stoves and open fires.

The most efficient defra legislation stoves approved stoves are made of hard, dry untreated wood with 20% moisture percent or less. This will ensure that the stove functions efficiently and reduce smoke and increase the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

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

A Defra-approved stove will produce less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. This is due to the fact that they were designed to ensure that the fire has an ongoing supply of air. This is done by having a secondary and sometimes a tertiary, air intake. This prevents the stove being lacking oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke it produces.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particles than previous 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.

Despite the fact that these stoves produce far less harmful pollutants than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU continues to seek ways to reduce pollution from all sources. This is because it has been associated with a variety of health issues, such as asthma and other respiratory ailments.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality The government has released an initial draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce the 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 accomplish this is by making it harder to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in areas with smoke control. Stoves that are not approved by local authorities could be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's important to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance.

We have a variety of Defra stoves available, including the Classic 5 clean burn multi-fuel stove that starts at PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-free environments and are available in various designs.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a string of tests and examinations in order to be in compliance with Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful emissions.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, then you need a DEFRA approved stove is essential. It allows you to burn approved fuels such as wood and other multifuels that would typically be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often called SE (smoke exempt) stoves and will have the SE logo on their specifications or names.

The Defra logo indicates that the stove has undergone independent tests and has been confirmed to be able of burning wood in a smoke-control zone, without producing nuisance fumes. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went above and DEFRA legislation stoves beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have their top air controls modified to prevent it from closing completely. Closing the air supply to a stove will deprive it of oxygen, which hinders its combustion and produces black smoke.

Stoves that are Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, whereas stoves that are not DEFRA approved require a 6" liner that is too large for a lot of UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is more environmentally friendly than older models or open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax include secondary and tertiary combustion mechanisms to reduce their emissions, which helps to reduce their user's carbon footprint.

Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles to suit your home. They come with a range of advantages and are available in a variety of sizes. Some are more striking than others, for instance the Arizona A08E woodburner, with its huge heat output and a large glass viewing window, whereas others are more subtle such as the minimal Farringdon stove from Aarrow. You can also have an DEFRA stove incorporated into a recess, such as the Aarrow I400 cassette stove to give an elegant and sleek look to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves have been certified to meet or exceed emission levels as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they are less likely to release of pollutants released into the atmosphere. They also produce more warmth and use less wood. These benefits make EPA certified stoves an excellent option for those who want to save money on fuel expenses while enjoying the warm, cozy sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that have been EPA certified could be able to use a smaller chimney that could help you save money on the installation cost. This is because they are engineered to burn more efficiently than other stoves. This efficiency can also boost the heating capacity of your stove and save you money on cost of fuel.

The EPA certification requires that stoves are tested in accordance with strict guidelines and rules set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintain their quality standards and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low levels of nitrous oxide and particulate emissions levels which means that they will not release harmful gases into the air. This can be a major benefit to homeowners who live in areas with smoke control regulations.

If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled it is only permitted to burn certain kinds of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been altered so that you can use many different types of fuels, including smokeless fuels. These fuels are typically briquettes or other dry, readily-available materials that will not produce excessive amounts of smoke.

If you purchase an exempt stove from defra is usually with a top air vent that restricts how much the stove can be starved of oxygen during the combustion. Too little oxygen can cause your stove to smoulder, releasing black smoke into your home. The top air vent on stoves exempt from Defra regulations is altered to prevent you from closing it completely.

Defra stoves have become increasingly popular due to their capability to provide a warm, comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are also easy to install and are suitable for installation in homes with standard flue systems, as long you have a 6" flue liner.
