What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra-approved multi-fuel stove is one which has passed the Defra test for smoke. They can also be referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The government Defra department oversees rules and regulations pertaining to the environment, farming and rural issues. The Defra Test assures you that you are able to burn wood or approved smokeless fuels such as Anthracite Ovals in a smoke-controlled area without disturbing your neighbours.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves use renewable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. They typically use wood or a combination of fuels that are approved, and are designed with environmental considerations in mind. There are a range of eco-friendly log burners and multi fuel stoves are readily available, ranging from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves use dung as a sustainable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.

The most crucial aspect in ensuring that your stove is eco-friendly is to make sure that the fuel you use is properly seasoned or kiln dried. This helps reduce the amount of moisture and allows the wood to burn more efficiently, generating less smoke. It is also a good idea to purchase only wood sourced from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to ensure it has been dried to an appropriate level.

The majority of newer stoves are built to meet the strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove makers to design wood burning stoves that have energy efficiency and environmental protection in the back of their minds. Manufacturers must take into account emissions as well as resource efficiency and waste reduction when they design Ecodesign stoves. These stoves are among the cleanest and greenest stoves available.

Another way to make your stove eco-friendly is to replace the grate with a ceramic one. It is not just aesthetically pleasing but also anti-smoking and helps to reduce sulphur oxide in the air. Ceramic grate liners also have a longer duration and are much easier to clean than steel grate inserts.

In a Smoke Control Area you are able to use the wood burner or multi-fuel stove, but it is important to only use fuels approved by Defra. You could be breaking the law if you do not. To avoid this, only use Defra approved fuels, such as anthracite that is manufactured smokeless in your stove.

Clean Burning

Multi fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra can only be used in areas that are smoke-controlled that burn only smokeless fuel.

The new Defra-approved stoves don't permit you to completely shut the vents for air and sleep the stove overnight that could release part-burned combustibles into the atmosphere.

A DEFRA approved stove also has a much longer burn time than older non-DEFRA stoves for sale models, but it's worth noting that if you swapped your approved fuel for smokeless coal and wanted to slumber your stove overnight it would reduce the time to burn as the constant supply of air required to slumber burn would slow the combustion of the smokeless fuel.

Reduced Emissions

If properly used, a stove that is exempt from DEFRA can produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles that, if inhaled, could cause various health problems, including heart diseases and lung illnesses.

The high combustion efficiency of a DEFRA approved wood burner minimizes the amount of harmful particles and pollutants released during the burning process. This minimizes the impact of the process of burning on the environment.
