Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

DEFRA permitted stoves approved multifuel stoves are an excellent choice for people living in smoke-free areas. They are very clean and can burn wood or authorized smokeless fuels.

The Defra logo is typically found on the appliance or in the specification to indicate that it can be used in Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also come with a high energy rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

A large portion of the wood burning stoves we sell are Defra approved, meaning they have been tested to meet stricter standards for emissions when used with wood and other approved fuels. This is due to the fact that these stoves are designed to work with a variety of different fuels and have been tested by an independent lab to ensure they don't produce excessive smoke. Also, a Defra approved stove has features such as secondary and tertiary burning that can help maximize the energy output of the burning process and minimize harmful emissions.

The Defra approved stoves often include an 'SE' symbol (which is a distinct sign for smoke exempt) or the word SE after their name. This means that the stove was independently tested and is able to be used in a Smoke-Control Area with logs or other approved solid fuels. The testing process involves an array of tests to check the stove's performance in a variety of conditions, and to verify that it generates a minimum of 5 grams of particulates/kg when burning wood.

To meet this standard, stoves that are Defra-approved have an altered top air control that prevents the user closing the top air vent completely. The air vent at the top that is closed too much will reduce the flow of oxygen to the fire, which will cause it to smoulder instead of burning. If you did this on the use of a non Defra approved stove, you are in violation of the law and could be charged with infractions of nuisance smoking.

The best way to avoid nuisance smoke when using the wood burner is to purchase kiln-dried or seasoned wood. The wood has been dried over an extended period of time, which reduces the moisture content to below 20%. You can determine the moisture content of your wood by using an easy wood moisture meter.

Defra approved stoves are built with secondary and tertiary combustion systems that allow fuel to be burned at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is done by using stainless steel liners and convection technology that pushes air down the chimney even after the fire has been extinguished. This lets the stoves burn wood more efficiently and generate less emissions.

A Defra Approved Stove also features an adjustment to the top vent to prevent it from being closed all the way. When you cut the air supply, the stove will stop burning properly, it will smoulder and then start producing smoke. defra Burning Mdf approved stoves allow you to close the vent just a little but not entirely so the fire can continue to burn at a lower temperature and still conform to UK legislation.
