Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stoves Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by DEFRA permit burning wood or smokeless fuels within smoke controlled areas. They are low-emission, offer clean combustion and come in various styles that can be adapted to any home. Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) regulations prohibit the emission of dark smoke from chimneys in Smoke Control Areas, without an exempt appliance or authorised fuel. Efficient combustion Many home-owners use Defra approved multi-fuel stoves for their homes due to their efficient heating performance and their low carbon footprint. These stoves can be used with different types of fuel such as smokeless coal and logs. These models also provide plenty of control over the flame and allow you to get the perfect burn from your wood burning stove. This is important as it ensures that the minimum amount of ash gets produced and can help keep your chimney tidy. This also means that your fire will keep heating for longer without having to be refuelled. This means that you'll save money in the long term and enjoy your fire without worrying about the condition of your chimney. Stoves that have been approved by Defra have been tested for efficiency and emissions. They are typically branded as 'Defra Approved or 'SE' for Smoke Exempt, which makes them the safest option to buy the stove you want for your home. Our online store has an extensive range of DEFRA-approved stoves, which include everything from traditional to modern designs. For example the Gallery Classic 5 Compact multi-fuel stove is a classic design that would suit cottages and other rustic cabins while the Stovax Stockton 3 and Go Eco Excel Wide are both perfect for modern-day rooms. The ESSE 700 Vista DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove is a different option that has been developed with a modern look in mind. The stove has a clean burning system that reduces the emissions of sulphur dioxide as well as nitrogen oxides. The steel body of the stove is durable and will last for a long time. It has a high energy rating of A and a 78.5 per cent efficiency. It can quickly heat a large space by using kiln dried logs. You can choose from a wide range of colors including neutral shades like cream and black. The bold colors like green and red are also available to add a striking appearance to your home. Metallic finishes can provide an elegant look that is modern. You can pick an oven with an enamel coating if prefer a more subtle appearance. This will give you an even, smooth surface that is easy to clean and will complement any interior colour scheme. Reduced emissions Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by Defra are not just environmentally friendly but also help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in your home. The main pollutant emitted when burning solid fuels such as wood and coal is ultra-fine particulate matter also referred to as PM2.5. These fine particles can penetrate lungs and cause respiratory illness or even heart disease. Fortunately, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves are designed to reduce the amount of this harmful gas. The majority of the stoves available here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have passed rigorous tests to ensure they operate well under the new limit of manufacturing of 3g/hour smoke emission for appliances that are installed in Smoke Control Areas. We also have a variety of models that are endorsed by clearSkies, an independent scheme that can offer more reductions in emissions. If you live in a Smoke Control Area, it is important to use only seasoned and well-dried wood to avoid excessive smokiness. However, if you do prefer to use fossil fuels in your multi-fuel stove, there are many smokeless alternatives available which aid in reducing the amount of harmful gases that your stove emits. The latest DEFRA approved stoves, including the ones we have in our collection, provide an additional and tertiary burning system that further reduces carbon footprint and air pollution levels. These systems assist in converting more volatile gases from solid fuels such as wood, into heat energy. You will reduce the amount of fuel you use to achieve the same temperature, which will reduce the cost of fuel. While this is a great feature of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves, it is important to note that Defra Approved stoves don't provide the same amount of time for burning as non-Defra stoves. This is because a continuous supply of secondary and third-level combustion air is needed to prevent the fuel from smouldering. If you are planning to make use of the stove for the purpose of slumber burn (i.e. burning for the night) then it is important to choose a Defra Approved model will not allow you extend your fuel supply to the same extent as a non Defra model. Smoke control regulations DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are approved for use in smoke control zones (check online if your region is one of these). In these areas, stricter restrictions are set for the emissions of log burners to reduce the amount of smoke that causes nuisance. This helps to prevent the release of pollutants into the air that can upset neighbors and create unhealthy conditions for people living nearby. Making sure you use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is essential to avoid being fined if the stove is found to be releasing excessive amounts of smoke. in the know are usually urban areas with a high density, like large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to protect the air quality by limiting particulate emissions into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra comply with the regulations and have been certified to guarantee low emissions. This is vital to ensure the safety and health for those living in these areas. It is also important to note that smoke-free stoves should only be used with authorized fuels like dry well-seasoned, properly seasoned firewood. It is not legal to burn damp or wet wood in a smoke control zone as they can create excessive smoke. Burning household waste, such as old furniture, pallets, and fencing is also illegal since they've likely been treated with chemicals that may release pollutants into the air after being burned. To reduce the amount of emissions, it's best to choose firewood that has an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is operated properly and avoid excessive emissions. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great method to buy firewood with this need in mind. A DEFRA approved stove can burn a variety different fuels, so you don't have to change your chimney system to enjoy a cozy fire. It is crucial to remember, however, that your stove requires regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure it functions effectively. If you don't maintain your stove on a regular basis it will be less efficient in reducing emissions, and could even harm the chimney or flue system.
