What Makes The Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stoves List So Effective In COVID-19

Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved

Multi fuel and wood burning stoves that are DEFRA approved, also known as Defra Smoke Exempt, have been tested for emissions in stringent ways. This means that they can be used in UK cities and townships of large size that are classified as smoke control zones.


ACR has designed an elegant, contemporary-styled stove that is EcoDesign-2022-ready. It also comes with DEFRA approval which allows it to be used in areas that have smoke control.

Defra Approved

If you live in an UK Smoke Control Area and would like to use wood on your stove, you'll need a DEFRA approved appliance or Defra-exempt appliance. DEFRA is the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and it is the government agency that restricts the release of smoke into towns and cities where it could cause problems for residents. These appliances have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that particulate emission levels are drastically reduced and that they can be passed the rigorous Defra test.

The Defra approval or DEFRA exempt logo is well known and widely adopted by the industry. It is often printed or engraved on the stove itself, however sometimes you will find the wording written on the specifications sheets. You will also come across a range of models that are both DEFRA approved and DEFRA exempt, meaning they are suitable for both wood and solid fuels.

A wood-burning stove that is approved by Defra has undergone extensive tests to determine how much particulate matter it generates. It is able to comply with the Clean Air Act if it offers a minimal amount of combustion air so that the fuel burns efficiently and does not produce excessive fumes. These stoves are more eco friendly than non Defra approved stoves, and can also help you reduce the cost of heating.

Defra approve wood burning stoves are especially beneficial for those who live in a Smoke Control Area of the UK. You might be penalized a lot when you use an non Defra approved wood burning stove in a Smoke Control Area. A stove that is approved by Defra is more considerate of neighbors since it doesn't release any harmful fumes. It also keeps your chimney and flue clean for longer.

A DEFRA approved wood burning stove may also permit you to legally install a stove of 5kW with stainless steel twin wall liner that is flexible (provided the manufacturer doesn't demand an increased diameter). It is worth looking into in case you are looking to save money on the cost of a new chimney. It is a great alternative where space is at a premium.

Exempt from Defra

If you reside in an zone where smoking is forbidden an approved DEFRA stove is essential. These stoves have been rigorously tested to ensure they emit minimal emissions that reduce the particulate matter in your home (PM10).

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves have an 'Defra Approved the DEFRA Exempt logo on their specifications. Stoves with this logo have been tested independently and have met strict smoke control requirements.

It is not recommended to use dry wood with a Defra Exempt Stove in a Smoke Control Zone, as this can cause unintentional smoke. You should not use non-Defra certified multi fuel stoves unless they are in a Smoke control Area. The stoves will also generate PM10 and could result in a substantial council fine.

Multi fuel stoves approved by Defra are designed to burn smokeless coal and wood without producing any nuisance smoke. This is achieved through the most modern technology for combustion that doesn't restrict the airflow into the fireplace, also known as sleeping. When stoves are left to sleep over night, they often release excessive black smoke which is not healthy for the chimney, your stove, or your health.

A great example of a high quality Defra Exempt multi fuel stove is the Stovax Vogue small. This well-known wood burning fireplace is extremely efficient with a maximum output of 5 kW. It also features a built-in log storage base that makes it ideal for taller fireplace openings.

Another Defra Approved multi wood burner that burns fuel is the ACR Earlswood LS. The Earlswood is another multi-fuel stove that has been through a comprehensive series of tests to ensure that it is in compliance with the strict standards set by DEFRA for particulate emissions. It can be used in smoke-controlled areas and burns a range of wood and smokeless fuels.

A multi-fuel stove that's DEFRA Exempt can be an cost-effective option for a new chimney liner. Because they all have five" flue outlet this means that you can use the 125mm diameter stainless-steel twin wall flexible chimney liner rather than the standard 6" (150mm). This is especially cost effective where there isn't enough space for a larger liner, and particularly beneficial if the existing chimney stack has difficult bends that make it difficult to install a traditional 6" chimney liner.

Smoke Control Areas

Many areas of the UK are designated as Smoke Control Areas which means that if you fit an open fire or wood burning stove to your home, you are required to only use fuels that are approved for burning in it. This legislation is primarily to prevent nuisance smoke from the properties around it and to ensure the environment is maintained clean. However, it doesn't prohibit the use of solid fuel appliances and stoves if they meet certain requirements. DEFRA approved stoves (also called Defra-exempt stoves) are a great option when you reside in a smoking-free zone. They've been specially tested and meet these requirements.

A Defra approved stove is able to burn all authorised fuels including wood without producing excessive smoke. To accomplish this the combustion technology employed in the Defra approved stove has been designed to limit the amount of starved the stove is of air during the combustion process. This is typically accomplished through baffles within the stove that redirect airflow and stop it from leaving the stove.

The most DEFRA-approved stoves include a feature called "clean burn" that permits combustibles that are part-burned, such as ash and soot to be combustible and discharged through the chimney rather than into the room. This feature prevents combustibles that are partially burned from re-entering the stove and causing a build-up that would eventually cause black smoke.

If you have stoves that are exempt from Defra which is a requirement, you can only burn the types of fuels listed in the Clean Air Act. This is especially true when you're burning damp wood or any other fuel that is wet which produces smoke that is unsanitary. You should consult with your supplier or the stove manufacturer's manual to see what kinds of authorised fuels can be burned in your particular stove.

Gr8Fires has a range of DEFRA exempt stoves that can be used in smoke-controlled areas. For instance, the Dimplex Langbrook is a stylish wood-burning stove that is Defra exempt and can be used with any of the authorised fuels. The model is available in several different heat outputs and comes in a variety of colors, including a contemporary matt black finish.

Heat Output

If you see an Defra approved symbol on the stove, that indicates that it is safe to use in an area of smoke control when burning wood or other approved fuels. The Defra approval process requires strict tests and examination to ensure that the stove is in compliance with the Department of Environmental's requirements for low emissions and high combustion efficiency. These features will make your stove more efficient in heating your home, and will assist you to reduce your carbon footprint.

There are try these out of multi-fuel stoves that have been endorsed by Defra with a range of sizes from small models that have 4kW to large models with 5kW. Selecting the right model will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your space and how much heating you require. Using a stove that is too big for the space could cause excessive heat and will lead to unnecessary fuel costs. It is important to get the advice of a qualified when selecting the best wood burning or multi-fuel stove.

In addition to Defra approval, you should also look for a stove compatible with Ecodesign 2022 regulations. These regulations are designed to improve the efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves burn fossil fuel more efficiently and produce less CO2 and other harmful pollutants. These stoves are less difficult to clean as they produce less tar, soot and other pollutants.

The majority of multi fuel stoves that are Defra-approved have air controls that can be adjusted to control the amount of fuel that is burned. These stoves also come with a grate, ash pan and an ash collector to ensure the efficient combustion of smokeless coal. The ash pan collects the remains of the firebox, which prevents them from interrupting the flow of air into the combustion chamber.

A variety of multi-fuel stoves can be found in a variety of colours and finishes. Bright hues like blue and red can provide a dramatic touch to your home, while metallic finishes can give your stove a sleek and contemporary look. Multi-fuel stoves are available in a variety of sizes, meaning you can find the right one to fit your space.
