Clean Burning

Defra approved stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure that they produce low emissions. This permits you to burn smokeless fuels legally in a smoke-free zone. They are usually HETAS-approved and have an 'clearSkies' rating which means they comply with the strictest emission regulations.

They are constructed with Clean Burn technology to ensure that wood can never be cut off from its oxygen supply, which could cause it to smoulder and create black smoke. This permits the stoves to keep a low rate of combustion until entire fuel is consumed. A defra-exempt stove will often have a secondary airflow mechanism which ensures that the solid fuel and briquettes are burnt in a controlled manner that reduces harmful gases and particles.

You can choose from a wide range of contemporary and traditional designs of multi-fuel stoves, which are defra-approved. These are perfect for installing in existing fireplaces. Many of these models are made by the top brands like Arada, Stovax, Burley and Parkray and are equipped with the latest in clean burning stove technology. They offer high heating efficiency and secondary and tertiary combustion systems that remove smoke particles prior to being drawn up the chimney.

These stoves are suitable for use with natural wood and smokeless solid fuel, and you can easily switch between the two by using your stove's reversible airflow control. This gives you flexibility and versatility, and allows you to use your stove all the all year.

To be compliant with building codes, a defra-exempt stove must be installed by a qualified installer.

Low Emission Vehicles

Many people believe that a multi-fuel stove authorised by DEFRA can only be used with smokeless fuels such as brquettes or firelogs. This is not entirely accurate. In fact so long as you burn approved fuels in your DEFRA stove and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation, you can use most solid fuels in the DEFRA approved stove, including seasoned hardwood.

To get the most value from your DEFRA multifuel stove, you will have to ensure that you only use dry, seasoned wood with a an average moisture content of 20%. Wet wood can create excessive smoke, which could cause the warranty to be void. Mineral fuels with a sulfur levels lower than 2% should also be avoided to avoid the formation of excessively dense deposits of ash.

Versatility

There are a variety of styles to pick from. They include traditional designs that will fit into an existing fireplace or inglenook to modern stoves that are ideal for homes that do not have an installed surround. A lot of Defra approved multi fuel stoves also have the option of incorporating a multi fuel grate meaning that you can use charcoal and wood in addition to logs giving you more options for heating. If you plan to make use of your stove as a slumber burner (overnight), a Defra-approved wood burner will not be suitable since it requires a constant air supply.

Convenience

If you reside in a smoke control zone, then a Defra Approved multi fuel stove is a must-have. These stoves let you burn smokeless or wood and they are designed to allow this to happen without releasing harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. A Defra approved stove will allow you to stay compliant with local laws and avoid costly fines.

Defra approved stoves employ the latest technology for combustion to cleanly burn wood and other approved solid fuels. This is achieved by delivering the correct amount of air into the firebox, thus preventing fuel from being starved for oxygen. This stops part-burned combustibles like ash and soot from going through the chimney and into the room. This can reduce the chances of a fireplace becoming blocked and is also good for the environment.
