Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves Approved?

It is essential to verify all the regulations prior to purchasing an appliance. This includes ensuring that your stove is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas when burning wood and approved smokeless coal.

These types of stoves are constructed with separate air controls to provide the correct amount of secondary and primary combustion air for both fuels. They also feature an the ash pan, which makes it easy to clean.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are designed to take a variety of different materials, in addition to logs. Smokeless fuels, turf or peat briquettes, anthracite, and other substances can be used. These materials emit less harmful emissions than logs. A lot of our multifuel stoves come with clean burn technology, which reduces the amount of particulate matter generated during combustion. The term "clean burn" is also used to refer to other technologies that reduce emissions like preheated tertiary or Ecodesign Ready.

In addition, many of our multi-fuel stoves come with a raised grate with moving bars or a central riddling grates and an asphan below it that helps to ensure that the combustion conditions are maintained. This ensures that the process of combustion produces only a small amount of black smoke when operating. This permits the ash to be removed from the bottom of the stove, which could be stored in an asphan below.

If you reside in an area that is a Smoke Control Area, it's important to buy a Defra exempt wood burning or multi fuel stove that is Defra approved. This will ensure that you'll be allowed to use the stove legally provided that it's burning 'authorised fuels' (as as per DEFRA guidelines). This is because non-Defra stoves may be susceptible to slumbering, a condition in which the combustion system becomes starved of air resulting in black smoke. Defra approved wood burners (or Defra-exempt stoves) have been thoroughly tested and verified to minimize this sleepiness. This provides you with peace of mind knowing your stove is always clean and efficient if operating correctly.

Defra Approved

Stoves that are DEFRA approved (also called SE or Smoke Exempt) can be used in regions of the UK which are designated as smoke controlled. This includes many cities towns and urban areas. If you live in an area that is governed by DEFRA and use unapproved wood or fuel, you could face an expensive fine. Stoves that are DEFRA certified provide the minimum amount air required for efficient combustion. This means they emit very little or no nuisance smoke.

Stoves must be able to pass the tests of efficiency and emissions in order to get the Defra approval. The Defra logo is often seen on stoves and manufacturers websites, so it's easy to spot. Numerous stove manufacturers are upgrading their products and adding secondary and tertiary combustion systems that can help reduce emissions. This makes their stoves eco sustainable and allows them be used with a wider range of fuels.

They are therefore the best choice for smoke-free homes.

DEFRA approval means your appliance has been tested to ensure it can burn all fuels that are approved without generating excessive smoke.
