Defra Exempt Multi Fuel Stoves

There are a range of multi-fuel stoves that are exempt from the defra regulations. Defra approved stoves comply with the regulations of the government and are designed to efficiently burn fuel with low emissions.

This is particularly important if you reside in a smoke control area. Even if you don't need to, it is important to know that a Defra Stove is better for your chimney and your neighbors.

Defra Approved

You may have noticed on our site that a number of our wood-burning stoves are listed as being DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved. To the average homeowner these terms might sound like jargon that they don't need to be aware of however this isn't the truth.

DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. They are responsible for policies and regulations relating to food, agriculture, and the environment. Defra approved stoves have been passed rigorous tests to ensure that they comply with the strict regulations of the government regarding smoke emission levels during operation. They're also designed to burn approved fuels such as coal and wood more efficiently, which means that they produce far fewer pollutants.

This is good news for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area because the law currently prohibits the emission of smoke within such areas unless you use a DEFRA approved stove and a fuel approved by DEFRA. In the past, it was possible to install an non Defra approved wood stove in a Smoke Control Area, as long as you used only authorised fuels. In January 2022, the rules will be altered and stoves that aren't approved aren't allowed to be used unless they are equipped with a secondary or secondary system that reduces their production of particulate, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and organic gaseous substances.

Our Defra approved ranges are equipped with a mechanism that prevents you from closing the top air vent completely. This could lead to the fire to ignite and release smoke into your home. These stoves feature an adjustable air flow that lets you open the top vent a little and still maintain a safe, efficient combustion.

Another benefit of buying a Defra approved stove is that it can be fitted with a 5 inch chimney liner. This is important because many codes for building require chimneys to have a minimum of 5 inches diameter.

Smoke Control Areas

If you live in a smoke-control area, you'll need a Defra-approved stove to burn wood legally within your home. The stoves have been tested by DEFRA to ensure that they meet the strict standards of smoke emissions required in smoke control areas. You can find the list of areas where you require a Defra approved stove on the Defra website.

This means that you can use them legally in any smoke control zone as long as you're burning authorised fuels such as pellets, logs and briquettes. Stoves that have been approved by Defra will bear a mark with the SE' logo which means Smoke Exempt.

What makes a Defra approved stove different from traditional multifuel stoves is that they have air vents which pre-heat the air before it enters the firebox. This pre-heated, heated air ensures that the fuel is ignited in order to ensure a cleaner combustion. It also helps to reduce the build-up of soot up and stops the chimney from clogging. The stoves of Defra also come with internal baffle plates that aid to control the flames and ensure an uniform heat distribution.

Defra could impose severe fines on anyone who uses an appliance that is not approved by DEFRA in smoke-controlled areas. To avoid being prosecuted by Defra recognized stoves you should purchase and use a DEFRA approved stove that has been tested to the government's strict criteria.

DEFRA stoves are also known as Clean Burn stoves. They can be used with all kinds of fuel however, they are most effective with wood that is dry and soft. They are designed with air vents that can't be completely closed so the stove will always get a supply of oxygen to support clean combustion and minimise soot and noxious gases.

This technology is not just compliant with the current standards for air quality but also the upcoming Ecodesign requirements that will come into effect in 2022. Stovax wood-burning and multifuel stoves will be branded with the SIA Ecodesign Ready label, which means they are compliant with the new stricter emission standards. These new standards are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure that the air in the country healthy and clean.

Installation

If you live in a Smoke Control Zone, a Defra-exempt multifuel stove can help you to comply with regulations. This is because these wood burning and multi fuel stoves have been independently tested to ensure they comply with the strict standards for smoke emissions required in a Smoke Control Area. They can burn wood or other fuels such as coal without worrying about the level of smoke they produce.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved can lower smoke levels by using advanced combustion technologies that create less smokiness. They usually employ a second phase of combustion, which re-burns some of the waste materials from the initial stage, making them less polluting and more efficient. In addition to reducing emissions, these stoves also reduce the amount of soot that accumulates in the chimney and flue.

This is a great benefit for those who reside in a smoke-free area since it means you can sit in front of a real fire more often and for longer with the added benefit of having lower utility bills. Due to the reduced levels of pollution, these kinds of wood-burning and multi fuel stoves are good for the environment as they are able to use a wider range of materials than other stoves.

The majority of stoves can be made DEFRA exempt using the simple kit supplied by the manufacturer. This changes the air vents of the stove to prevent them from closing at night. This is referred to as slumbering and it allows part-burned combustibles to be released into the atmosphere rather than going up the chimney, where they could hinder the flue. DEFRA approved stoves don't slumber, and are better for the environment. They also tend to block chimneys less often.

To get the most out of your DEFRA approved stove it is recommended you have it professionally installed by a HETAS registered installer or a Building Control Officer. This will provide you with the assurance that your installation was completed to the correct specifications and in line with the latest regulations. In addition, it can also help ensure your warranty since the installer will be able to self-certify their work.
