Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are a great choice for those who live in areas with smoke control. They burn wood and authorised smokeless fuels very cleanly and are available in a broad range of styles to suit all tastes.

The Defra logo is usually visible on the appliance, or is written in the specifications to show it is suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also have a high energy rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

Many of the wood burning stoves we offer are Defra approved, meaning they meet stricter standards for emissions when they are used with wood and other approved fuels. The stoves have been independently tested and built to burn a variety of fuels. Additionally, a Defra approved stove comes with features such as secondary and tertiary combustion that can help maximize the amount of energy in the burning process and minimize harmful emissions.

Multifuel stoves that are approved by Defra will often have a 'SE' logo or the word SE (which stands for smoke-free) after their name which indicates that the stove has been tested by an independent third party to confirm that it can be used legally in a Smoke Control Area with logs and other approved solid fuels. The testing process includes an array of tests to test the stove's performance over different conditions and to verify that the stove produces a minimum of 5 grams of particulates per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet this standard, Defra-approved stoves feature a modified top air control that prevents the user closing the top air vent completely. If you close the top air vent too much will reduce the supply of oxygen to the fire, which will cause it to smoulder instead of burning. If you did this with an non Defra approved stove, you are in violation of the law and could be charged with infractions of nuisance smoking.

The best method to avoid nuisance smoke when using a wood burner is to purchase kiln dried or seasoned wood. This is wood that has been dried for many years which helps to reduce the amount of moisture to less than 20 percent. A simple wood moisture meter can be used to test the moisture content in your wood.

You can reduce the amount nuisance smoke produced by a stove that is Defra-approved by making use of dry, well-seasoned logs that have been dried and kiln-fired or spruce. It is not recommended to burn damp, wet, or unseasoned wood. This will cause lots of smoke and you could be fined by your local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are compliant with the strict standards for air quality set by the government. These stoves are able to utilize a variety of fuels, including wood and a few 'approved' smokeless fuels in Smoke Control Areas (see DEFRA's indicative interactive tool here).

The fumes from burning untreated wood or other wet fuels in a fireplace that is not DEFRA approved or exempt will make your neighbors angry. This can also cause issues with the quality of air in your area, especially if you live in an urban zone. If you are located in a Smoke Control Area and burn unauthorised fuels or use an appliance that is not designed to be used with authorized smokeless fuels, then you could receive a fine or face prosecution.

Defra approved stoves are built with secondary and tertiary combustion methods that allow fuel to be burned at lower temperatures, which in turn produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is accomplished through stainless steel liners, as well as convection systems that force air down the chimney even after the fire is put out. This lets the stoves burn wood more efficiently and produce less emissions.

A Defra Approved Stove also features an adjustment to the top vent to prevent it from closing completely. If you cut off the air supply, the stove will stop burning properly, it will smoulder and start to produce smoke. Defra approved stoves permit you to shut the vent a bit but not completely so that the fire continues to burn at the lower temperature and be in compliance with UK laws.

When selecting a brand new Defra approved stove, it's crucial to think about the design and style of the stove, and whether it will fit in with the interior decor of your home. There are a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, from traditional fireplace chambers and inglenooks to more contemporary designs that look stunning in open-plan living spaces.

Most stoves that are Defra-approved feature an outlet for a chimney of 5kW, allowing them to be utilized in Smoke Control Areas. This is the case for most UK towns and cities. This can also save you money on your installation costs, as the stove will only require five" flue liner, instead of the more expensive 6" liner.

Aesthetics

Multi-fuel stoves don't just have to be practical. They can also add style and charm to your home. There are a variety of models available in different designs that can complement your decor, no matter if it's traditional or modern. They usually have sleeker lines and cleaner designs than wood-burning stoves. This makes them a more attractive choice for any space.

Make sure the multi-fuel stove you choose will fit in your space and is compatible with your chimney or flue. Also, make sure that the stove's clearance from combustible materials meets local requirements. You can get a sense of these requirements by checking the manufacturer's guidelines which will state the distance you need to keep flammable materials such as curtains, walls, and furniture away from the stove.

Another option to think about when looking for an all-fuel stove is the airwash feature, which keeps the glass window clear so you can enjoy the fire. Some multi-fuel stoves come with an grate that can be removed, making it easier to change the fuel and clean the stove.

Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are designed to minimize emissions and pollution which makes them a good choice for eco conscious homeowners. They are also highly efficient and permit you to use less fuel which can lower the cost of heating.

Defra multifuel stoves come in a wide range of styles that can be adapted to suit your preferences. Inset stoves, like the Hamlet Solution 5 Compact or the Woodford Lovell C400, can be installed in an existing fireplace opening or wall for a seamless appearance. While cylindrical stoves such as the Opus Harmony or the ACR Solis are slim and round and can be set on a hearth to conserve space.

A lot of stoves are designed in a manner that reflects the history of the manufacturer. They could have cast iron construction or elaborate details. These models are perfect for homes with an old-fashioned or rustic feel, such as country cottages. Certain models are contemporary with clean lines and materials like glass and steel. These models are perfect for homes that have a minimalist style, such as those in urban areas or modern homes.

Energy Efficiency

If you purchase a DEFRA approved multifuel stove, you can be confident that it will meet and even exceed the most recent clean air standards. Top stove manufacturers like Arada, Stovax, and Parkray have invested a lot of money in the latest combustion technologies that reduce the amount of smoke generated during the process of burning. In conjunction with the most up-to-date clean air technologies such as secondary and tertiary combustion systems these modern stoves are much more eco-friendly than their older models and DEFRA approved British stoves will help reduce your household's fuel consumption.

Whether you live in a Smoke Control Area or not there's a stove perfect for your home from the stunning Danish design of the Uniq 37 to the cosy and contemporary styling of the Arundel Deluxe. There are stoves with an older-fashioned design that can be used in existing fireplace chambers or inglenooks.
