Defra regulations (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs), prohibit the emission dark smoke from chimneys within Smoke Control Areas without an exempt appliance, or authorised fuel.

Efficient combustion

Many home-owners use Defra approved multi-fuel stoves in their homes due to their efficient heating capabilities and low carbon footprint. They can be used with a wide variety of fuel types, including smokeless coal, logs and more. They also offer plenty of control over the flame which allows you to achieve the perfect flame from your wood stove.

This is essential as it ensures that the most ash is produced and helps keep your chimney clean.

In the end, you will save money over the long run and can enjoy your fire without worrying about the health of your chimney.

Stoves that have been approved by Defra have been tested for efficiency and emissions. They are usually branded as 'Defra Approved or 'SE' for Smoke Exempt. This makes them the safest option to buy a stove for your home.

Emissions reduced

In addition to being environmentally green, Defra approved multi fuel stoves reduce emissions in the home. The most significant pollutant released from burning solid fuels, such as wood and coal is ultra-fine particulate matter, also referred to as PM2.5. Fine particles can enter the lungs, causing respiratory illness or heart disease.

Fortunately, the latest DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves are 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 been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure that they operate far under the new limit of manufacturing of 3g/hour of smoke emissions for appliances used in Smoke Control Areas. We also offer several models that have been endorsed by the independent clearSkies scheme, allowing additional reductions in emissions.

If you live in a region that is under Smoke Control, you should only use seasoned and dried wood to avoid a lot of smoke. However, if you intend to use fossil fuels in your multi-fuel stove, there are plenty of smokeless alternatives available which will significantly reduce the quantity of harmful gases your stove produces.

The latest DEFRA-approved stoves, like those we have that we carry, feature a secondary and third-generation combustion system that reduces carbon footprint of users and air pollution. Using these systems helps to reduce the amount of volatile gases produced by solid fuels such as wood, and convert them into heat energy. This means you will use less of your preferred fuel to achieve the same level of heating which means that your fuel bills will be less!

This is a great feature however, it's important to be aware that Defra approved stoves don't offer the same burn times as non-Defra certified stoves. This is due to a constant supply of third-level and secondary combustion air is required to keep the flame from smoldering. If you plan to use the stove for sleep burn (i.e. burning over the course of the night) it is recommended that you use the Defra Approved model will not allow you extend your fuel supply to the same extent as a non Defra model.

Conforms to regulations on smoke control

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves can be used for use in smoke control areas (check online if the area you live in is one of these). In areas with smoke control the emissions from log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This prevents the release of pollutants into the air that can upset neighbors and create unhealthy conditions for those living close to. Using the DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is essential to avoid being fined in the event that the stove is found to be emitting excessive quantities of smoke.

Smoke control areas are usually urban areas where the population density is higher, usually including cities and towns that are large. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to maintain air quality by limiting particulate emissions to the atmosphere. 5kw multi fuel stoves defra approved-fuel stoves approved by Defra are in compliance with the regulations and have been certified to ensure low emissions. This is crucial to ensuring the safety and health of the people who live in these areas.

It is also important to note that smoke exempt stoves must only be used with authorized fuels, such as dry well-seasoned, properly seasoned firewood. It is illegal to burn wet or damp fuels in a smoke control zone as these can cause excessive smoke. It is illegal to burn household waste, such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals which can release toxins when burned. Choosing firewood with 20% moisture percent or less is recommended to prevent excessive emissions and to ensure that the stove is being used correctly. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent option to purchase firewood that is in line with this requirement.

A DEFRA approved stove can run on a variety of different fuels, so you don't have to change your chimney system to enjoy a cozy fire. But, it's important to remember that your stove needs regular maintenance and cleaning to operate properly and efficiently. If you neglect to maintain your stove on a regular basis it will not be as effective at reducing emissions and could even harm the chimney's flue system or chimney.
