Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a smoke-free zone then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves will provide plenty of flames, heat and light whilst emitting hardly any smoke.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have come up with a variety of Defra stoves that are traditionally styled, but have the latest in clean burning technology. These stoves can burn a wide variety of fuel including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

The wood stoves from Defra utilize the most modern technology for combustion to ensure clean and efficient burning. This is accomplished by making sure that the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burned are not escaping up the chimney and into the air, where they can create pollution.

These Defra-approved wood stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue as they produce less smoke. This can help to keep them cleaner for longer while reducing the cost of maintenance and improving the performance of your stove.

Defra wood stoves are also the perfect choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they allow you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a range of sizes and outputs available to suit different homes, so you can locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

It is important to remember that only Defra approved stoves should be used in smoke controlled areas as they have been pre-approved to burn authorised wood and fuels. If you burn a fuel that isn't approved in your Defra approved stove you could be fined.

Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This Defra approved wood burning stove has an impressive ClearSkies rating and an energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient and has an air-to-fuel ratio of 1. Smoke emissions are minimal at 0.26g/h.

This stove is not only compliant with DEFRA emissions standards and standards, but it has been independently tested according to the strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and Fireplaces And Stove can be used within smoke-controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emission and are 66% more efficient than older open Fireplaces And Stove and stoves.

The best Defra approved stoves to use are ones made from dry, hard, untreated wood with a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove works properly and will also reduce smoke and increase the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means they've been checked to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards of efficiency and emissions than government's "clearSkies" scheme.

A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. The reason is because they are designed to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is accomplished through having a secondary, and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove being starved of oxygen during the combustion process and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits.

These modern stoves are also designed to produce much less harmful particles than the previous models. This is important because particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and be carried throughout the body, settling in the lungs and heart. This can lead to serious health issues including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves generate significantly less harmful pollution than older models, the EU is still seeking to reduce pollution from all sources. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a number of health issues, such as asthma and other respiratory conditions.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan is aimed at reducing average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require the reduction of the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

One of the ways it plans to achieve this is by making it harder to purchase and install uncertified stoves in smoke control areas. Stoves not approved by local authorities could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. If you reside in a region where smoke is controlled, it's essential to buy a DEFRA-approved stove.

We have a selection of Defra stoves available which includes the Classic 5 clean burn multi-fuel stove that starts at just PS420. All of them are suitable for smoke-free environments and are available in various designs.

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 of Environment. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful emissions.

If you reside in a smoke-free zone, then a DEFRA approved stove is required. You can burn approved fuels such as multifuels and wood, which would be restricted if not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra logo indicates that the stove has been subjected to independent testing and has verified to be able to burn wood in a smoke-control zone, without producing nuisance fumes. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went over the rules.

Certain stoves have their top air controls modified to stop it from being closed completely. Shut off the air supply to a log burner to prevent it from burning and generating black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved usually allow you to use a 5" flue liner when burning wood, however stoves that aren't DEFRA approved need a 6" liner that is too big for many UK chimneys.

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

Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles to fit your home. They offer a number of advantages and are available in a variety of sizes. Some are more impressive than others, for instance the Arizona A08E woodburner that has a large heat output and a large glass viewing window, whereas others are more subtle, such as the minimalist Farringdon stove by Aarrow. You can also have an DEFRA stove installed into a recess such as the Aarrow I400 cassette Portable 5KW Stove - MultiFuel Iron Fireplace - NRG for a clean, sleek finish to your living room.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are designed to meet or surpass the emission levels required by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and are designed to reduce the amount of pollution released into the air. They also generate more warmth with less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves an excellent choice for anyone looking to save money on fuel while still enjoying the warm and cozy feeling of burning wooden.

Stoves that are EPA certified will have a smaller flue, saving you money on installation. This is due to the fact that they are designed to be more efficient than other stoves. This efficiency also increases your heating capacity, which can help you save money on fuel costs over time.

The EPA certification requires that stoves are tested in accordance with strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintaining quality standards, and ensures that their products are safe to consumers. Stoves that have been EPA certified must emit very low levels of nitrous dioxide and particulates. This means they will not release harmful gases in the air. This can be an enormous benefit for homeowners who live in areas that have smoke control regulations.

If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled it is only permitted to use certain types of fuels in your stove. Defra approved stoves have been modified to allow the burning of a variety of different fuels, including authorized smokeless fuels. These are usually briquettes or other dry, readily available substances that do not generate excessive quantities of smoke.

If you purchase a defra-exempt stove with a top air vent, it will limit the amount of oxygen can be deprived to the stove during combustion. This is due to the fact that too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and emit black smoke into your home. Exempt stoves from the Defra regulations come with a modification that prevents you from closing the top air vent completely.

Defra stoves are becoming more popular due to their capability to provide a warm, comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are simple to set up, and can be used in homes with standard chimney systems as long as they are fitted with a 6" liner.
