Multi-Fuel DEFRA Approved Stoves

In a UK Smoke Control Area, you can burn wood and other smokeless materials in a multi-fuel DEFRA approved appliance. They often come with a continuous supply secondary combustion air to prevent the fuel from smoldering and releasing smoke that is a nuisance.

A Defra Stove (sometimes called a DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance) has been tested for levels of emissions and has met the UK Government Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Criteria.

Smoke Control Areas

Smoke from open flames or stoves can cause air pollution in the UK, especially in urban areas. This has led to the establishment of Smoke Control Areas where only specific kinds of fuels and home fire appliances can be used. Clean Air Act regulations are strict to help reduce pollution. If you live in a Smoke Control Area It is crucial to only use wood-burning stoves or log burners that are approved by Defra. This ensures that you are burning legal fuel and not generating smoke that irritates neighbors.

A large portion of Stovax multi-fuel and wood burning DEFRA approved stoves have secondary and tertiary systems of combustion that allow you to burn your logs efficiently which in turn helps to reduce emissions. This means you can create less smoky flames but still enjoy a gorgeous fire.

A Defra approved appliance or to use its full title a "Smoke Exempt Appliance", has been tested and passed the UK Government DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) regulations regarding the levels of smoke in Smoke Control Areas. This means that the stove produces only the smallest amount of smoke in normal operation. It also means that you can legally burn certain types of wood in your stove provided that it is'ready to burn' with moisture content less than 20 percent. It is not possible to burn wet, damp or spruced wood in the DEFRA approved stove as it could produce smoke that is contrary to the provisions of the Clean Air Act.

There are many modern and traditional Defra stoves available. You should also be aware of the type of fuel that you will be burning. Some Defra approved stoves are only compatible with wood and do not have the option for a multiple-fuel burner.

If you plan to burn anthracite or smokeless coal or other fuels that are approved by Defra in your stove, you will need a smoke control kit. This can be fitted on appliances that are not exempt from Defra. The Stovax store has a wide range of smoke control kit options that work with non-DEFRA Legislation Stoves-approved appliances.

Coal

Defra approved multi-fuel stoves are the eco-conscious choice that lets you enjoy the warmth of your stove and reduce the impact on the environment. These stoves adhere to government regulations and manufacturers must conform if they wish to continue operating.

The most sustainable method to heat your home is by using a DEFRA approved wood burning stove that can also burn authorised fuels such as coal. Coal is a fossil fuel that first began to form about 300 million years ago. At that time, swamps containing massive ferns and other species were common on Earth. The plants submerged into the water after their death and grew into peat over time. This then buried under layers of rock and other materials until it was compressed into solid coal.

When coal is burnt, it releases a significant amount of energy as heat and sulphur oxide which can contribute to the pollution of the air. Sulphur dioxide is a major contributor to acid rain, which can harm rivers and lakes, causing harm to wildlife, and even causing damage to crops. Many countries including the United States, have banned coal use due to the acid rain threat.

Although coal emits lots of pollutants, it is still a significant element of the heating industry. It is the most utilized fossil fuel and has the lowest cost compared to other fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. Coal is a fuel that is highly efficient in terms of energy efficiency and produces a large amount of heat per pound.

A DEFRA exempted wood-burning stove, or DEFRA approved stove can be used to burn approved fuels such as briquettes and coke in smoke controlled areas. These stoves can be used with a broad range of firelogs, which are basically compressed sawdust and other wood wastes and often blended with paraffin-based fuel to allow them to be lighter.

If you live in a Smoke Control Area, you must only use an DEFRA approved stove to prevent huge fines. Choice Stoves offers a range of DEFRA-approved wood burning stoves by top manufacturers like Mi-fires. Contura, Stovax and many more. We can help you choose the best stove for your home, and make sure it is installed by a licensed engineer to avoid any issues.

Wood

Defra approved wood stoves are the best option for homeowners living in an area that has a smoke control. They are less polluting when they burn low-smoke clean fuel. They also provide efficient heat and are offered in a variety of styles to suit your interior design.

Often, multi-fuel stoves that are DEFRA exempt will include an additional air inlet that is above the main air vent. It is pre-heated prior to when the main air flow gets in and prevents ash from sticking to the glass of the stove as well as helping the burning logs draw in air. Some stoves have a third inlet that is heated by the flue gasses when they exit. This helps ensure a more efficient combustion and flame.

You can also opt to get an DEFRA approved log burner that has been specifically designed to burn dry seasoned, well-seasoned hardwoods. This kind of timber is sourced locally and is carbon neutral. As trees absorb carbon dioxide during their growth, it is returned to the atmosphere after it is burned.

Log burners that have been approved by DEFRA can be used within smoke-controlled areas provided that you only make use of fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you're unsure if your property is in a Smoke Control Area you can contact your Local Authority to find out more.

A Defra approved wood stove is a great alternative for those who love the look of a traditional log burner, but wish to be able use other fuels too. It is important to know, however, that only DEFRA approved stoves can be fitted with a 5" liner for burning hardwood, and it must be installed by a licensed installer. If you'd prefer a more contemporary design, there are plenty of stoves that are DEFRA-approved that can be installed into fireplace chambers or inglenooks and still look fantastic. They are not able to burn approved fuels, for example smokeless oval anthracite. This means that you'll have to purchase and install a different, approved woodburning stove from DEFRA for this purpose. This is a good idea, since burning fuels that are not authorized in a stove that is not DEFRA-approved could put you in breach of the regulations and risk prosecution.

Smokeless Fuels

The use of smokeless fuels in a multi-fuel DEFRA approved stove is an excellent way to reduce the amount of soot and emissions produced by your fire. The smokeless fuels are generally anthracite-based and are available in the form of Briquettes. They are designed to emit less carbon dioxide than coal used in homes and create an even and consistent fire. They are great for areas with smoke control, but are also suitable for anyone who loves using an open fire or multifuel stove.

A wood-burning stove that is DEFRA-approved has the third-burn or secondary system that enhances combustion and helps eliminate harmful gases and particles. These systems can also help extend the lifespan of your stove by reducing the speed at which it wears out or blocks the flue. The majority of newer stoves have DEFRA approval, however older stoves may be modified to comply with a kit.

The Portway Luxima is an example of wood burners that have been designed to be DEFRA approved stylish stoves compliant. The large, warp-free cast iron door provides a stunning view of the fuel bed. The stove has a stylish bevelled door design and the handle is chrome and contrasts with the design.
