What is a DEFRA registered stoves Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A multi-fuel stove that is defra-approved is one which has passed the Defra test for smoke. They are also sometimes referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The Defra department of the government is responsible for rules and regulations related to rural issues, agriculture and the environment. The Defra Test ensures that you can burn wood and approved smokeless fuels, such as Anthracite Ovals in a smoke-controlled space without disturbing your neighbours.

Eco-friendly stoves produce minimal emissions, using fuel efficiently and utilising sustainable materials. Eco-friendly stoves are typically designed to burn wood, or in combination of other approved fuels. A wide selection of eco-friendly log burning and multi fuel stoves are readily available, ranging from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves utilize dung as a sustainable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.

The most important factor in making sure your stove is eco-friendly is to ensure that the fuel you are using is properly seasoned or kiln dried. This helps reduce the amount of moisture and lets the wood burn more efficiently, and produce less smoke. It's also a great idea to buy only wood that comes from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to ensure it has been dried to an appropriate level.

Most of the newer stoves are compliant with the strict EU EcoDesign Standards. These standards require that stove manufacturers design wood burning stoves with energy efficiency and environmental protection in the back of their minds. Ecodesign stoves should consider emissions, resource efficiency and waste reduction. These are some of the most eco-friendly and cleanest stoves available.

Another way to make your stove green is to substitute the grates with ceramic. This material is not just aesthetically pleasing but also anti-smoking and reduces the amount of sulphur oxide that is in the air. Additionally, ceramic grates are easy to maintain and last longer than steel grate inserts.

While you can still relax in cozy wood burning stoves or multi fuel stove in a Smoke Control Area It is vital to use only Defra approved fuels. If you do not have this, you could be in breach of the law and face being fined by the local council. To avoid this, only use DEFRA approved low emission Stoves approved fuels, such as a manufactured smokeless anthracite oval in your stove.

Clean Burning

A Defra approved multi fuel stove can be used in smoke-controlled areas if it burns authorised smokeless fuel only. It could be a smokeless log, anthracite, or a manufactured or natural product. The stove manufacturers must comply with the rules for selling a DEFRA-exempt wood burner. Here at The Stove Yard we have an incredible selection of DEFRA approved stoves for wood burning and multi fuel stoves made by top brands like Arada, Parkray, Burley, Stovax and many more.

These types of Defra exempt stoves offer the most modern combustion technology that is designed to reduce emissions and tar build in your chimney and flue system. The stoves use secondary and tertiary systems to ignite particulates, tar gasses and other pollutants before they escape into the air. This is why Defra approved wood burning stoves are much cleaner than open fires and older generation stoves.

The design of a stove that is Defra-approved is also distinct. Most of our range has an internal mechanism that allows for an intermittent flow of air to the flame even if the air vents have been closed. This is to stop soot and ash from being carried up the chimney, which can block your stove and can cause dangerous chimney fires.

The new Defra-approved stoves won't allow you to shut the vents to let air in and then sleep on the stove overnight and release part-burned combustibles to the air.

A DEFRA-approved stove will also have a longer burn duration compared to stoves that are not DEFRA-approved. However should you decide to switch your approved fuel with smokeless coal to sleep the stove over night, this would also shorten the burning time due to the constant supply of air needed to slumber would reduce the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

When used properly, a DEFRA exempt stove can create extremely low levels of emissions. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles which, when inhaled, DEFRA approved Low emission Stoves could cause numerous health issues including heart conditions and lung diseases.

The high efficiency of combustion in a DEFRA approved wood burner minimizes the amount of harmful particles and pollution released during the burning process. This greatly reduces the impact on the environment, particularly in urban areas where pollution levels are very high.

As well as reducing harmful emissions, DEFRA approved low emission stoves the efficiency of a stove decreases the cost of heating your home. By using a DEFRA-approved wood burning stove place of a gas boiler you can lower your carbon footprint as well as save the cost of your energy.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, you must make sure that your stove is DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt as this will allow you to burn approved Defra fuels such as manufactured smokeless coal ovals such as Anthracite and Homefire and dried wood and other authorised solid fuels. This lets you relax in your fireplace and not worry about nuisance smoke disturbing your neighbours.

Many stoves that are DEFRA approved, are also tested to meet clearSkies standards and are able to be labeled with the clearSkies label. The clearSkies scheme is an independent scheme which requires stove manufacturers to display information about the efficiency and emissions of their products to help consumers make an informed choice. The information must include a stove's efficiency rating and emissions, along with its type and size.

However, it's important to keep in mind that, as with Ecodesign the clearSkies guidelines are minimum standards and manufacturers can exceed these. ESSE for instance has developed its latest stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning with less particles, without compromising on performance or control. This latest innovation utilizes patented twin catalytic combustion technology that burns off any smoke particles it produces, dramatically reducing their effects on the atmosphere.

In reality it's true that if you're in an smoke-free zone and are using an DEFRA Approved stove with a high-quality, kiln-dried or seasoned log, you'll get as much, or more, heat from the same amount of dry wood as if were to burn it in a non-DEFRA approved stove. In fact, it can be up to 24 percent cheaper to heat your home with an newest DEFRA Approved stove than with conventional gas boilers.
