Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a new stove. From the enticing appeal of dual function to practical concerns of installation, safety, and compliance.

Back boiler stoves that are approved by DEFRA are an excellent solution to these issues. They produce very little smoke because they use the minimum amount of combustion air.

Clean Burn Technology

If you're looking for a hygienic burning stove with a huge firebox that can be used to warm your home and provide hot water for your radiators, then a defra-approved back boiler stove might be just what you are after. These stoves have an integrated steel boiler capable of heating the central heating system while the fire is burning within the stove. This makes it an efficient way to make use of wood burners.

Most of our defra approved back boiler stoves feature a pre-heated airwash system which assists in keeping the glass doors clear of soot and ash deposits. The secondary combustion system re-burns any unburnt particles produced during the initial combustion. This helps keep the flue gas clean which results in more efficient burning process and lower cost of fuel.

Some of our stoves are cleaner than this and have been independently tested to ensure they meet the new stricter DEFRA emissions standards to be luxury DEFRA stoves ratings stoves [i was reading this] SE (Smoke Exempt) approved. They achieve this by having an adjustment on the top air vent to prevent you from closing it all the way that would shut off the oxygen supply to the fire. This causes it to smolder rather than burn cleanly which results in more pollutants being released into the air.

Another important factor is the moisture content of your fuel which could be a major factor in the amount of smoke emitted by the stove. We recommend burning only dried, seasoned wood with a minimum moisture content of 20 percent to ensure your stove burns as efficiently and effectively as is possible. The majority of our Defra approved stoves have a built in moisture sensor that adjusts the rate of combustion accordingly when using wet or damp wood.

Some manufacturers have even taken a step further to increase the efficiency of their stoves, by adding an advanced secondary clean burn system which is controlled by the chrome pull lever located at the base of the stove. It opens and closes the vent which draws air over the fire, re-burning the initial smoke that was produced in the initial process of burning. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, so you could save even more money on your energy bills.

Easy to Clean

A defra-approved back boiler stove will allow you to run your central heating and hot water off the same system. This can be accomplished by running a loop through the other tappings on the back boiler (there are usually 2) to your hot water tank, and then using thermosyphoning in order to get the heat into the house. This means that your boiler will never run out of hot water because it is fed by the tank.

To ensure that your stove is operating at its peak performance, you should clean it regularly. Begin by making sure that the stove is not hot to the touch. Next, wipe down the main body of the stove and the door with a clean, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfiber cloth, as they are less abrasive.

It is a good idea, after cleaning the interior of your stove to wash the glass. Glass cleaners can aid in removing any stubborn stains and marks, and can be purchased from most hardware stores. Glass cleaner should be used sparingly since too much of it can harm glass surfaces.

As time passes, the seals that surround the glass and doors of your stove will begin to wear down. This can cause gaps that can let heat out, so it is important to replace these seals once annually. This can be done using stove rope, which is available at most hardware stores.

If you own an Eco Design 2022-compliant back burner on a stove that is defra-approved, the combustion process will be more efficient than with traditional wood-burning stoves. Modern technology has made it possible to decrease the amount of combustibles released into air. Stoves that are compliant are more environment efficient and are also less expensive to operate.

They can be used in Smoke Control Areas and have been tested and modified to ensure they provide a clean burning which can be used with wood as well as smokeless fuels.

DEFRA approved stoves such as the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire or our top-selling Hi-Flame Aidan can provide a highly efficient burn while producing very little harmful emissions. They have been tested according to the latest Eco Design regulations, which limit the amount of particulate matter, CO2, NOx and organic gases that a stove can produce during its normal operation.

Suitable for Smoke Control Areas
