Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves That Are DEFRA Approved Wood burning and multi fuel stoves that are DEFRA approved, also known as Defra Smoke Exempt, have been tested for emissions in stringent ways. This means they can be utilized in UK cities and townships of large size that are classified as smoke control zones. A stunning contemporary styled stove from ACR that is EcoDesign 2022 ready and comes with DEFRA approval that allows it to be used in a smoke-free area. Defra Approved If you reside in an area that is a Smoke Control Area in the UK and you want to burn wood in your stove you'll need a DEFRA approved or Defra exempt appliance. DEFRA is the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and it is the government that prevents the release of smoke into cities and towns where it could create a problem to residents. The appliances have passed rigorous testing to ensure that particulate emissions are greatly reduced, and are qualified to pass the strict Defra smoke tests. The Defra logo or DEFRA exemption logo is widely recognizable and widely used by industry. It is often engraved or printed on the stove, but sometimes the wording is written in the specification sheet. There are models that are DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt. This means that they can be used with wood and solid fuels. A wood-burning stove which has been endorsed by Defra has undergone extensive testing to determine how much particulate matter it produces. It is able to comply with the Clean Air Act if it has a minimum amount of combustion air so that the fuel is burned efficiently and without producing too much fume. They are generally more eco-friendly than stoves that are not Defra-approved and they can help you save money on heating costs too. Defra approved wood-burning stoves can be particularly beneficial for those who live in Smoke Control Area. If you use an unapproved stove in a Smoke Control Area that is not approved, then you are breaking the law and could be slapped with a huge fine. A Defra approved stove will be more friendly to neighbors since it won't produce any nuisance smoke, and it will usually mean that your chimney and flue system will stay more clean for a longer time. A DEFRA approved wood burning stove may also permit you to legally install a stove of 5kW with a stainless steel twin wall flexible liner (provided the manufacturer doesn't require a larger diameter). This is a good option if you want to save money on the cost of a new chimney. It also is a great option when space is limited. Defra Exempt If you reside in an area where smoking is prohibited an approved DEFRA stove is essential. The stoves have been thoroughly tested to ensure that they emit very little emissions that decrease the amount of particulate matter within your home (PM10). DEFRA approved wood burning stoves bear a 'Defra Approved' or DEFRA Exempt' logo on their specifications. Stoves with the logo have been tested independently and meet the strict requirements for smoke control. It is not recommended to use dry wood with an Defra Exempt Stove in a Smoke Control Zone, as this can create a unintentional smoke. You can also not make use of non-Defra Approved multifuel stoves unless they are located in Smoke Control Area since this can create PM10 in your home and could lead to a hefty fine from your local council. Defra approved multi fuel stoves are engineered to burn authorised wood and smokeless coal safely, without producing noxious smoke. This is achieved through the latest technology of combustion that does not restrict airflow to the fireplace, also known as sleeping. When stoves are left to slumber for a long time, they will often emit an excessive amount of black smoke, which is harmful to the chimney, your stove, or your health. A great example of a top-quality Defra Exempt multi fuel stove is the Stovax Vogue small. This well-known wood burning stove is extremely efficient with a maximum heating output of 5kW. It also comes with an inbuilt log store base making it perfect for installation into fireplaces with larger openings. ACR Earlswood LS is another multi-fuel wood burner that has been endorsed by the Defra. The Earlswood multi-fuel stove has also been subjected to extensive testing to ensure that it meets the stringent DEFRA requirements for particulate emission. 5kw defra multifuel stove can be used in smoke-controlled areas and burns a variety of wood and smokeless fuels. The choice of an DEFRA Exempt multi fuel stove could be a cost-effective option for the need for a new chimney liner. Because they all have a 5” flue outlet this means that you can use an 125mm diameter stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner instead of the standard 6” (150mm). This is especially cost-effective when there isn't enough room to accommodate a larger liner. It could be beneficial if your chimney stack has a curly bend that make it difficult to install the 6” chimney liner. Smoke Control Areas Many areas in the UK are designated as Smoke Control Areas. This means that if your house has an open flame, wood burning stove or fireplace, you are permitted to only use approved fuels by the UK government. This law is designed to reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted into the neighbouring properties and to ensure the environment is kept clean. However, it doesn't restrict the use of solid fuel appliances and stoves if they meet certain criteria. DEFRA approved stoves (also known as Defra-exempt stoves) are a great option if you reside in a smoking-free zone. They've been specifically tested and meet the requirements. A Defra approved stove can burn all approved fuels, including wood without producing excessive smoke. To accomplish this, the combustion technology used in a Defra approved stove has been developed to limit how starved the stove is of air during the burning process. This is usually achieved through baffles within the stove that redirect airflow to prevent it from leaving the stove. The most DEFRA-approved stoves include a feature known as 'clean burn' which allows part-burned combustibles like soot and ash to be burned and then discharged through the chimney, not into the room. This prevents part-burnt combustibles from entering the stove again and causing a build-up that eventually causes 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 particularly the case when you are burning damp wood or other wet fuels that will create unpleasant smoke. Go through the manual for your stove or your supplier to find out what fuels you can burn in your stove. Gr8Fires have a selection of DEFRA exempt stoves that are suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. For example the Dimplex Langbrook is a stylish wood-burning stove that is Defra exempt and can burn a variety of authorised fuels. The model is available in different heat outputs and comes in a variety of colors, including a contemporary matte black finish. Heat Output If you see an Defra approved symbol on the stove, it means that it is suitable for use in an area of smoke control when burning wood or other permitted fuels. The Defra approval process requires thorough tests and examination to ensure that the stove meets the Department of Environment's requirements for low emissions and high efficiency of combustion. These features will make the stove more efficient at heating your home, which can help to lower your heating bills and reduce your carbon footprint. There are a wide range of Defra approved multi fuel stoves to choose from that range from small 4kW models up to 5kW models. The right model depends on several factors, including the size of the room and the amount of heat needed. A stove that is too big for the space could result in overheating and lead to an unnecessary expenditure on fuel. When selecting a multi-fuel or wood-burning stove it is important to seek professional advice. You should also ensure that the stove is compatible with Ecodesign 2020 regulations. These regulations are designed to enhance the energy efficiency of appliances and reduce their environmental impact. Ecodesign 2022 stoves burn fuel more efficiently and produce less CO2 and other pollutants. These stoves are also simpler to clean since they produce less tar and soot than other stoves. Most Defra-approved multi fuel stoves have air controls that can be adjusted to regulate the amount of fuel burned. They also have a an ash pan, grate and ash collector to ensure efficient combustion of smokeless coal. The ash pan is used to collect the ashes from the firebox, and stops them from interfering with the air flow to the combustion chamber. There are a variety of different designs of multi-fuel stoves can be found in a variety of colours and finishes. Bold colours such as navy and red provide a striking look to your living space. Metallic finishes can give it a modern, sleek style. Multi-fuel stoves come in a variety of sizes, so you can pick the one that will best fit your space.
