If you own an DEFRA approved stove, then it will be safe to use with most kinds of wood. To prevent excessive smoke, only burn firewood with an average moisture of 20% or less.

Multi-Fuel Stoves Defra Approved

When it comes to selecting a wood burning or multi fuel stove for your home, you might find yourself being drawn towards one that is a DEFRA approved model. Whilst for many homeowners this might seem like jargon they shouldn't have to be concerned about, there is plenty of truth to the fact that DEFRA approved stoves are better for your chimney and the environment.

Defra approved appliances are constructed to ensure that they don't deprive the fires of oxygen during combustion. This prevents the fire from producing large amounts of smoke, especially in Smoke Control Areas. A kit supplied by the manufacturer can be used to modify some stoves to make them approved by the Defra. The kit limits the extent to which the air vents are closed during the burn cycle. When you load your stove and then leave it to rest for a night, this is called'slumbering'. The flames will burn more slowly, and more combustibles, like soot and tar can build up in the flue. A stove that is approved by Defra doesn't slumber, therefore it is less likely to release this substance into the air. It also means that if the stove is switched from solid fuel to smokeless for overnight burning, a minimum amount of fuel will always be supplied.
