Choosing a Defra Approved Or Smoke Exempt Stove

If you live in an area that is a Smoke Controlled area then choosing a DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt stove is crucial. Not only do they comply with building regulations but they also ensure that you are able to legally burn wood and multi fuel in your home.

Defra Approved

If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled, you will need a defra-approved stove. The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has adopted laws that prohibit the emission of dark smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled, which includes most large towns and cities. Defra Approved stoves have gone through rigorous tests and inspections to ensure they are in compliance with this law. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce considerably less pollutants. They are a better choice for you and your neighbors because the smoke levels will be reduced to the lowest. Stoves that are Defra approved will also display the logo, as well as the words SE (smoke-exempt) and DEFRA approved British stoves exemption in their title and specifications.

Defra approved stoves also tend to have an extra robust firebox, which is yet another way they can reduce smoke emissions.

Defra approved appliances will not just reduce the amount of smoke released but also ensure the combustion air is constant throughout the whole burning process. This prevents the stove from becoming starved of air and causing it to smoke or release dark smoke. Most stove manufacturers now build Defra Approved models into their range of products because they are becoming more and defra stoves more popular.

Defra approved stoves aren't only an choice for those who live in areas with smoke control, but they are a great choice for anyone who wishes to improve the efficiency and safety of their fireplace and reduce the amount of harmful substances released into the air. These stoves are also great for those who want to line their chimneys with a flexible stainless twin wall liner made of stainless steel. Because the majority of Defra approved models come with five" outlet this will allow them to be used with a 125mm liner, rather than the standard 6" outlet, which can save money on the cost of the liner and installation.

Some people prefer to sleep on the stove for a night by closing the top vent and let it burn slowly. This can lead to a buildup of soot and other tars which can hinder the chimney's flow. A Defra approved stove won't allow you to shut the top vent down completely, as this could cause the fire to go out. It is also less likely that combustibles which have not been burned will be released into the air. This is safer for the air and less likely to cause your chimney to become blocked.

Defra Exempt

It is common to see terms Defra Approved, or Defra-Exempt, when you are searching for a wood-burning stove. It is typically a wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove that is approved to be used in a smoke controlled area.

This is done by utilising an additional burn in which the waste products of the combustion process are re-burnt to reduce the amount of pollutants that are released into the atmosphere. DEFRA Approved Stoves are the ideal choice for those who live in areas with smoke restrictions and want to know that their appliance is legal.

Defra stoves that are exempt from a permit are typically identified with an SE logo or are branded DEFRA Stove. This means that the appliance has passed a testing procedure developed by the UK government's Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) to show that it emits very minimal amounts of smoke when it is used in a proper manner. This is why Defra stoves are the only wood-burning stove that is legal to install in Smoke Controlled areas.

A Defra approved wood burning stove can aid in keeping your chimney and flue system clean as they are designed to burn wood much more cleanly than other types of stoves. This is due to an advanced combustion system that doesn't hinder airflow into the firebox, and allows for what's known as slumbering, this stops part-burned combustibles from escaping your chimney.

This is accomplished through the most recent technologies to ensure that the maximum amount of heat is absorbed from the fuel and then transferred to your home. Additionally, you will benefit from lower heating costs and a safer, cleaner and more environmentally friendly home.
