What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra approved multi fuel stove is one that has been successfully passed the Defra smoke tests. These stoves are often referred to as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.

The government DEFRA permitted stoves department oversees rules and regulations related to the environment, farming and rural issues. The Defra Test guarantees that you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels such as Anthracite Ovals in a smoke-controlled space without disturbing neighbors.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves are designed to emit less carbon dioxide, while making use of fuel efficiently and using sustainable materials. They typically use wood or a combination of fuels that are approved, and are designed with ecological considerations in mind. A wide variety of eco-friendly log burners and multi fuel stoves are available with a range of styles from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves even use dung (the excreta of domesticated livestock) to provide a highly efficient and carbon-free alternative to wood.

The most important aspect to making sure that your stove is eco-friendly is ensuring that the fuel you are using is properly seasoned or dried. This reduces the moisture content of the wood and allows it to burn more efficiently. It's also a great idea to purchase only wood that comes from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when buying wood to ensure it has been dried at an appropriate temperature.

Most of the newer stoves meet strict EU EcoDesign Standards. These standards require stove manufacturers to design wood burning stoves that are energy efficient and with the environment in mind. Manufacturers must account for emissions as well as resource efficiency and waste reduction when designing Ecodesign stoves. This makes them some of the cleanest and greenest stoves on the market.

Replace the grate on your stove with ceramic grate. This will make it more environmentally friendly. This material is not just attractive, but it is also anti-smoking, and helps reduce the amount of sulphur oxide found in the air. Ceramic grates also have a longer life span and are easier to clean than steel grate inserts.

In a Smoke Control Area you can still enjoy a wood burner or multi-fuel stove, however it is crucial to only use approved fuels by Defra. If you do not then, you may be in violation of the law and could face a fine from the local council. To avoid this, you should only use Defra approved fuels, for example, anthracite that is manufactured smokeless in your stove.

Clean Burning

Multi fuel stoves approved by Defra are only permitted to be used in smoke-controlled areas in the event that they burn only smokeless fuel. This can be a type of natural or manufactured smokeless log or anthracite, and it must comply with certain rules to meet the requirements for a Defra approved wood burning stove. The stove manufacturers must also adhere to the regulations for selling a DEFRA-exempted wood burner. Here at The Stove Yard we have an incredible selection of DEFRA approved wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves made by top brands such as Arada, Parkray, Burley, Stovax and many more.

These types of Defra exempt stoves come with the most advanced combustion technology, designed to reduce emissions and the build-up of tar in your chimney and flue system. The stoves employ secondary and tertiary systems that ignite particulates, tar gases and other pollutants before they go into the air. This is the reason Defra approved wood burning stoves are so much more clean than open fires and older generation stoves.

The design of a Defra approved stove is different too, most of our range include a hidden mechanism inside the stove that allows a small flow of air through to the fire, even when the air vents are shut. This prevents ash and soot being sent into the fireplace, which can cause dangerous chimney fires.

This is a crucial feature for those who live in a smoke-free zone The new Defra approved stoves do not allow you to shut the air vents completely and slumber your stove overnight which could release part-burned combustibles into the air.

A DEFRA-approved cooktop will have a longer burning time compared to older non-DEFRA accredited stoves stoves. However it is possible to replace your fuel of choice with smokeless coal to slumber the stove overnight and reduce the time of the burning time as the constant air supply required for slumbering will reduce the combustion of smokeless fuel.

Reduced Emissions

When properly used the DEFRA exempt stove can create extremely low levels of emissions. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles which, when inhaled, can cause numerous health problems, including heart diseases and lung diseases.

The high combustion efficiency provided by a DEFRA-approved wooden burner reduces the amount of harmful particles and pollutants released by the process of burning. This reduces the impact of the process of burning on the environment.

The efficiency of a stove could lower the cost of heating your home. If you use a DEFRA-approved wood burner in place of a gas boiler, you can reduce your carbon footprint as well as save the cost of your energy.

If you live in a region where smoke is controlled, it's vital that your stove be DEFRA Approved (or Smoke Exempt) as this will enable you to burn Defra Approved fuels like manufactured smokeless ovals like Anthracite or Homefire and dried wood and other fuels that are authorised. This will allow you to relax in the fireplace, without having to worry about whether the smoke could be a nuisance to your neighbors.

In addition to being DEFRA Approved, many stoves are also tested to clearSkies standards and can be marked with the mark clearSkies. The clearSkies mark is an independent scheme that requires stove makers to disclose information about their appliances' efficiency and emissions, so that consumers can make an informed decision. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating, emissions, as well as the type and size.

However, it's important to remember that, as with Ecodesign, the clearSkies regulations are minimum standards, and the manufacturers can exceed these. ESSE for instance, has engineered its new stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning and produce less particulates, without compromising on performance or control. This latest development uses Twin Catalytic Combustion Technology that recycles all smoke particles and reduces their impact on the atmosphere.

In fact, if you're in a smoke-free zone and you use a DEFRA Approved stove with a high-quality, kiln-dried or seasoned log, you'll get as much, or even more heat from the same amount of dry wood as you would if you were to burn it on a non-DEFRA Approved stove. In fact, it could be as much as 24 percent cheaper to heat your home with the latest DEFRA Approved stove than conventional gas boilers.

Compliant with Building Regulations

If you reside in an area that is under smoke control, it is important to select a multi-fuel stove that has been approved by DEFRA.
