Efficient Combustion

The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burning. This is done by making sure that the fire does not run out of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burnt will not escape up the chimney into the air which could pollute the air.

The most effective Defra approved stoves are made of dry, hard, untreated wood with a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will not only help to ensure that the stove operates properly, but will also produce less smoke and boost the capacity of heating.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means they've been checked to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU permits. The Ecodesign regulations set higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's own "clearSkies" program.

The primary benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it produces considerably less smoke than an uncertified stove. The reason for this is because they are designed to ensure a constant flow of air into the fire. This is accomplished by having a second, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being deficient in oxygen during the process of combustion and also reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is crucial, as particulate contaminants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs or heart. This could lead to serious health problems and even premature death.

The EU seeks to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutant. This is because it has been linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help meet the new air quality goals. The plan aims to cut the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in domestic fuel emissions, including wood stoves.

One of the ways it intends to accomplish this is by making it more difficult to purchase and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not certified by local authorities can be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you live in a region where smoke is controlled, it's crucial to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a series tests and examinations in order to comply with the Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful emissions.

If you live in a smoke controlled area then the use of a DEFRA approved stove is required. You can burn approved fuels, such as multifuels and wood, which would be restricted if not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved may be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and will have the SE logo in their name or in the specifications.

The DEFRA Lawful Stoves (Hamann-Koch.Federatedjournals.Com) logo signifies that the stove has undergone independent testing and has verified to be able to burn wood in a smoke-control area without creating noxious fumes. It is a good sign that the manufacturer went beyond the regulations.

Certain stoves have been fitted with a top air control modified to ensure that it can't be closed completely. Closing the air supply to a log burner will starve it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and causes black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved permit you to burn wood using 5" liner, while stoves that are not approved by DEFRA approved clean burning stoves require a 6" flue liner. This is too big for many UK chimneys.

Another reason to consider a Defra wood burning stove is that they are greener than older models of woodburners or open fires.
