If you live in an area that is a Smoke Controlled area then choosing a DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt stove is vital. Not only do they comply with building regulations, but they also guarantee that you are legally able to burn wood and multi fuel in your home.

The stove manufacturers are constantly improving their products by adding secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions.

Defra Approved

If you reside in an area that is controlled by smoke, you will need a defra-approved stove. This is because the UK government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has laws in place that ban the release of dark smoke from chimneys in smoke-controlled areas (most large towns and cities). Defra Approved Stoves have been thoroughly tested and inspected to ensure that they comply with the law. They are specifically designed to burn fuel efficiently and produce less harmful emissions. This makes them a much more suitable choice for your neighbors and you as well, since the less smoke they produce means that the nuisance levels of smoke will be kept to the minimum. Stoves that have been approved by the Defra will display the logo and the words SE (smoke-exempt) and defra exemption in their title and specifications.

The majority of wood burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell are Defra-approved. This is because we endeavor to source top quality products and we wish our customers to be capable of getting the most value from their stove. The stoves that are Defra-approved are more efficient than non-approved models and produce less particulate matter. This reduces the amount dark smoke that is generated. Defra approved stoves also have a more robust firebox, which is another way in which they can cut down on smoke emissions.

Defra approved appliances will not only decrease the amount of smoke released and also ensure that the combustion air is constant throughout the entire combustion process. This will prevent the stove from being starved of oxygen, which is what causes it to smoulder and release dark smoke. As they gain popularity, most stove manufacturers are now incorporating Defra Approved Models into their product range.

Defra approved fireplaces are a great choice for those living in smoke control zones. They are also a great choice for anyone looking to improve the efficiency, safety and release of toxins into the air. These stoves are also great for those who want to line their chimneys with a flexible stainless twin wall liner made of stainless steel. Since the majority of Defra approved models come with 5" outlet, this will allow them to be used with a liner of 125mm, rather than the standard 6" outlet, which will reduce the cost of the liner and installation.

While some people may choose to slumber their stove overnight by shutting the top vent completely and let it burn slowly, this can result in the accumulation of tar and soot which can block the chimney. A Defra approved stove won't permit you to shut the top vent down completely, since this could cause the fire to cease. It is also less likely that unburned combustibles will be released into the air. This is safer for the air and less likely to cause your chimney to get blocked.
