Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a zone of smoke control then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves release very little smoke and provide plenty of heat, light and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have developed a range of Defra stoves that are traditionally designed, but feature the latest clean burning technology. These stoves can burn various types of fuel including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burning. This is done by ensuring the fire doesn't run out of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burned will not escape up the chimney into the air, where they can pollute the air.

These approved wood stoves from Defra are better for your chimney system and flue as they produce less smoke. This helps keep them cleaner for a longer period of time which will reduce maintenance costs while increasing the efficiency of your stove.

In addition, DEFRA stoves installation wood stoves are ideal for those living in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without breaking the law. You can choose from a variety of sizes and heat outputs to fit your home.

It's important to keep in mind that only Defra approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled areas as they have been approved to burn authorised fuels and wood. You could be fined if use non-approved fuels in your stove that is Defra-approved.

Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This Defra approved wood-burning stove comes with an impressive ClearSkies rating and an energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient and has an air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1. Smoke emissions are very low at 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards This stove has been tested independently to a stringent SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and can be used in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emission and are 66% efficient than older open fireplaces and stoves.

The most effective Defra approved stoves are made of hard, dry untreated wood that has a moisture content of 20% or lower. This will ensure that the stove functions efficiently and reduce smoke and increase heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are regulated by the EU to be as efficient and as clean burning possible. The Ecodesign regulations set higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the federal government's "clearSkies" program.

A Defra-approved stove will produce less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire has an ongoing supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being deprived of air during the combustion process and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke that it produces.

Modern stoves are designed to produce less harmful particles than the previous models. This is crucial, as particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried through the body before settling in the lungs or heart. This can cause serious health problems including premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that the latest models produce less harmful pollutant. This is due to the fact that it is associated with a variety of health issues, such as asthma and respiratory disorders.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help meet the new air quality targets. The plan is aimed at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require an increase in household fuel emissions, including wood stoves.

To accomplish this it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not certified by local authorities can be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's important to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance.

We have a range of Defra Stoves which include the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove, which starts at PS420. All of them are suitable for smoke-free areas and are available in various designs.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a series tests and tests to comply with the Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful pollution.

If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled and smoke-free, having a DEFRA stove is essential. It permits you to burn approved fuels such as wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if you were not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are sometimes referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They are marked with the SE logo on their specifications or names.

The Defra logo indicates that the stove has undergone independent testing and has been confirmed to be able of burning wood in a smoke-control zone without producing nuisance fumes. It is a great indication that the manufacturer has gone over and beyond to be in compliance with the rules.

Some stoves have their top air control modified to stop it from being closed completely. Close the air supply of a log burner to prevent it from burning and releasing black smoke.

Stoves that are Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner when burning wood, however non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner, which is too large for many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is more eco-friendly than older models or open fires. The latest stoves by leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley Parkray, and Stovax have secondary and tertiary systems that cut down on emissions. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of their users.

Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles to match your home. They provide a variety of advantages and are available in a range of sizes. Some are more imposing such as the Arizona A08E with its large heat output, while others are more subtle, such as the minimal Farringdon from Aarrow. You can even get an DEFRA stove incorporated into a recess such as the Aarrow i400 cassette stove for an elegant, clean look to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are designed to meet or exceed the emission levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and are designed to reduce the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. They also produce more heat using less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves a great option for those looking to save money on fuel while still having the warm and comfortable sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that are EPA certified can use smaller flues, which can save you money on installation. This is because they are designed to produce more heat than other stoves. This efficiency can also boost the heating capacity of your stove, saving you money in fuel costs.

The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested conformity to strict regulations and rules that are set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in keep their standards of quality and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low particulate emission and nitrous oxide levels which means that they do not release harmful gases into the air. This can be a major advantage for homeowners in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you live in a smoke controlled zone, you are able to burn certain kinds of fuels in your stove. Defra approved stoves are now able to allow the burning of a variety of different types of fuels, including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that do not produce excessive smoke.

When you buy a stove that is exempt from defra typically, it comes with a top air vent that restricts how much the stove will be deprived of oxygen during the combustion. Insufficient oxygen could cause your stove to smoulder, releasing smoke that is black into the home. The air vent on the top of stoves that are exempt from Defra is altered to prevent the stove from closing all the way.

DEFRA approved eco design stoves stoves are becoming increasingly popular due to their capability to provide a warm and comfortable home while reducing the amount of smoke in the air. They are simple to set up, and can be used in homes that have standard chimney systems so long as they have an 6" liner.
