The Full Guide To Defra Wood Stoves

Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in a region that has smoke control you'll need a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves emit very little smoke and provide plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have developed a range of traditionally styled Defra stoves that feature the latest technology for clean burning. These stoves can burn a variety fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure a clean and efficient burn. This is achieved by making sure that the fire does not run out of oxygen. This means that any partially burned combustibles that aren't fully burned will not escape down the chimney and into the air, where they could cause pollution.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue since they emit less smoke. This helps keep them cleaner for a longer period of time while reducing the cost of maintenance and improving the performance of your stove.

Defra wood stoves are an excellent choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn authorised wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. You can select from a variety of sizes and heat outputs to fit your home.

Remember that only Defra-approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled areas because they are approved for burning fuels that are approved by the government. You may be penalized if you use non-approved fuels in your stove that is Defra-approved.

If you're in search of the most efficient Defra approved stove, look no further than the Stovax ST2. This wood-burning stove is Defra approved and boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It was built with efficiency in mind, and has an internal air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emission rate of 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested by an independent lab to a stringent SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than old stoves and open fires.

Fireplaces And Stove approved stoves are those made of dry, hard, untreated wood with an average moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will not only help to ensure that the stove operates properly, but will also create less smoke and improve its heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are controlled to be as efficient as possible and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The main advantage of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce considerably less smoke than an uncertified stove. The reason is because they are designed to ensure constant flow of air into the fire. This is accomplished by having a second, and sometimes a third, air intake. This prevents the stove from being depriving of air during the combustion process and reduces the amount of black smoke it produces.

Modern stoves are designed to emit less harmful particulate pollution than the previous models. This is important, because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They then travel throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs and heart. This can cause serious health issues including premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models produce less harmful pollutants. This is due to the fact that it has been associated with a variety of health issues, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality The government has released the draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require a reduction in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

One of the ways it plans to achieve this is to make it more difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you reside in a region where smoke is controlled, it's important to buy a DEFRA-approved stove.


We have a range of Defra Stoves which include the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. They're all safe for use in smoke controlled areas and come in a range of styles to fit your home.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove is an engineered wood burner that has passed a series rigorous tests and examinations to ensure that it conforms to the regulations of the Department for Environment. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently by reducing harmful pollution.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, then a DEFRA approved stove is required. It allows you to burn approved fuels such as wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often called SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They will also have the SE logo on their specifications or names.

The Defra logo signifies that the stove has undergone independent tests and has been confirmed to be able of burning wood in a smoke-control zone without creating noxious fumes. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went beyond the regulations.

Some stoves have had their top air control adjusted so that it is not closed all the way. Close the air supply of a log burner to prevent it from burning and generating black smoke.

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

A Defra wood-burning stove can be more eco-friendly than older models or open fires. The latest stoves from the top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax incorporate secondary and tertiary combustion systems to reduce their carbon emissions, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint.

Defra stoves are available in different styles to match your home. They provide a variety of benefits and are also available in a variety of sizes. Some are more imposing like the Arizona A08E with its huge heat output, while others are more subtle, like the minimal Farringdon from Aarrow. You can even get an DEFRA stove incorporated into a recess, such as the Aarrow i400 cassette stove for a clean, sleek finish to your living space.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves have been certified to meet or exceed emission levels required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they reduce the amount pollution released into the air. They also generate more heat with less wood. These benefits make EPA-certified stoves a great option for those looking to save money on fuel while still having the warm and comfortable feeling of burning wooden.

Stoves that are EPA certified may be able to use smaller chimneys and could help you save money on installation costs. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency can also increase the efficiency of the stove's heating and save you money on fuel costs.

The EPA certification requires that stoves are tested in accordance with strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintain quality standards 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 are not releasing harmful gases into the air. This can be an enormous benefit for homeowners who live in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you live in a smoke controlled area, you are only able to burn specific types of fuel on your stove. Defra approved stoves have been modified to allow the burning of a variety of different fuels, including authorised smokeless fuels. These fuels are usually briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that do not produce excessive smoke.

When you buy a defra exempt stove, it will usually come with a special top air vent that restricts how much the stove will be starved of oxygen during combustion. A lack of oxygen could cause your stove to smoulder, releasing smoke that is black into the home. The stoves that are exempt from Defra come with a modification that stops you from closing the top air vent completely.

Defra stoves have become increasingly popular due to their capability to provide a warm and comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are also easy to install and can be used in homes that have standard flue systems, so long you have a 6" flue liner.
