Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a region where smoke is controlled it is recommended to use a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves can provide a generous amount of flames, heat and light whilst emitting hardly any smoke.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have created a wide range of traditionally styled Defra stoves that are equipped with the latest clean burning technology. These stoves are capable of burning many different types of fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure a clean and efficient burning. They do this by ensuring that the fire is not being depleted of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles that are not fully burnt are not escaping up the chimney into the atmosphere, where they can cause pollution.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue because they generate less smoke. This will keep them cleaner longer, reduce costs for maintenance and increase the performance of your wood stove.

Defra wood stoves also make the perfect choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They permit you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without breaking the law. You can pick from a variety of sizes and heat outputs to fit your home.

It’s important to keep in mind that only Defra approved stoves should be used in smoke controlled areas as they have been approved to burn authorised fuels and wood. If you burn a non-approved fuel in your Defra approved stove you could be fined.

Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This Defra approved wood burning stove comes with an impressive ClearSkies rating and an energy rating of A+. It was built with efficiency in mind, with an internal air to fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emissions rate of 0.26g/h.

In addition to meeting DEFRA emission standards The stove has been tested independently to a rigorous SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and can be used in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are specifically designed to lower emissions and are 66% efficient than older open fireplaces and stoves.

The Best defra stoves stoves that are Defra-approved are made from untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a an average moisture content of less than 20%. This will ensure that the stove is operating effectively and reduce smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are controlled to be as efficient and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government’s “clearSkies” program.

The main advantage of a Defra approved stove is that it produces much less smoke than a non-certified stove. The reason is that they are designed to ensure a continuous flow of air to the fire. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary, air intake. This stops the stove from being lacking oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particles than the previous models. This is important as particulate pollution can be absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body, lodging in the lungs and the heart. This can cause serious health problems and even premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves emit significantly less harmful pollution than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU continues to seek ways to cut down on pollution from all sources. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a number of health issues, such as asthma and respiratory disorders.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality The government has released a draft Environment Plan. The plan is aimed at reducing the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

One of the methods it plans to achieve this is by making it more difficult to purchase and install uncertified stoves in areas with smoke control. Stoves that aren’t approved are likely to be fined by local authorities, up to PS1,000 per hour that they emit smoke. This is why it’s important to buy a DEFRA approved stove if you reside in a smoke controlled area.

We have a variety of Defra Stoves, including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. They’re all safe for best Defra stoves use in smoke-free areas and are available in a variety of styles to suit your home.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA approved clean burning stoves stove has passed a series tests and examinations in order to comply with the Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to efficiently burn fuel by reducing harmful pollution.

If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled, having a DEFRA stove is required. You can burn approved fuels, such as wood and multifuels, which are restricted if you’re not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often called SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They are marked with the SE logo on their name or specifications.

The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been independently tested and has been shown to burn wood in the smoke control zone without producing excessive smoke. It’s a good indication that the manufacturer went beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have their top air control modified to prevent it from closing completely. Close the air supply of the stove to stop it from burning and generating black smoke.

Stoves that have been 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 many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is more eco-friendly than earlier models or open fires. The latest stoves from the top manufacturers like Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax feature secondary and tertiary combustion methods to reduce their emissions, which can help to reduce the carbon footprint.

Defra stoves come in various styles to suit your home. They come with a range of benefits and are also available in a range of sizes. Some are more imposing than others, such as the Arizona A08E woodburner with its large heat output and large glass viewing window, while others are more subtle such as the minimal Farringdon stove made by Aarrow. You can even fit an DEFRA woodburner into a recess, such as the Aarrow I400 cassette stove, for a sleek, clean design in your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are designed to meet or surpass the emission standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they are less likely to release pollutants released into the air. They also generate more warmth and use less wood. These advantages make EPA certified stoves a great choice for anyone looking to save money on fuel expenses while enjoying the warm, cozy feeling of burning wood.

The EPA certification requires that stoves be tested according to 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 emit minimal levels of nitrous oxide and particulates. This means they don’t emit harmful gases into the air. This can be an enormous benefit for homeowners who live in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, you are only able to burn specific types of fuel on your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified to ensure that you can burn a variety different fuels including smokeless fuels. These are usually briquettes or other dry, easily-available materials that will not produce excessive quantities of smoke.

When you buy a defra exempt stove typically, it comes with a top air vent that limits the extent to which the stove can be depleted of oxygen during combustion. Insufficient oxygen can cause your stove to smoulder, releasing smoke that is black into the home. Exempt stoves from the Defra regulations will have a modification that stops you from closing the air vent on the top all the way.
