Defra Wood Stoves If you reside in an area that has smoke control you'll need a DEFRA-approved wood stove. They emit a tiny amount of smoke and provide plenty of light, heat and flames. Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have developed a range of traditionally styled Defra stoves which come with the latest technology for clean burning. They can burn a variety fuels, including smokeless coal. Efficient Combustion Defra wood burning stoves utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burn. This is achieved by making sure that the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burnt will not escape up the chimney and into the air, where they can create pollution. These Defra approved wood stoves are also more suitable for your chimney and flue system since they produce much less smoke than traditional stoves. This helps keep them clean longer, cut down on maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of your wood stove. Defra wood stoves also make the perfect choice for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn authorised smokeless fuels and wood without breaking the law. You can pick from a variety of sizes and heat outputs to fit your home. It is important to remember that only Defra approved stoves should be used in smoke controlled areas because they have been pre-approved to burn authorised fuels and wood. You could be fined if burn non-approved fuels in your Defra-approved stove. If you're in search of a high-performance Defra approved stove, look no further than the Stovax ST2. DEFRA approved wood burning stoves burning stove that is Defra-approved boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It has been made with efficiency in mind. It has an internal air to fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emission rate of 0.26g/h. This stove is not only compliant with DEFRA emission standards however, it has been independently tested according to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and can be used within smoke-controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emission and are 66% more efficient than older stoves and open fireplaces. The most effective Defra approved stoves to use are those made of dry, hard, untreated wood that has 20% moisture% or lower. This will not only ensure that the stove operates properly, but will also create less smoke and boost the heating capacity. Reduced Emissions Many of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means they have been approved by the EU to be as efficient and as clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than government's “clearSkies” scheme. A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. The reason for this is that they are built to ensure a continuous flow of air to the fire. This is achieved by having a secondary, and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This ensures that the stove is not lacking oxygen during the combustion process and also reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits. These modern stoves are also designed to emit less harmful particles than previous models. This is crucial, as particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They are then carried throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs or heart. This could cause serious health problems including premature death. The EU wants to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that the newer models emit less harmful pollutants. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a number of health issues, including asthma and other respiratory ailments. In order to meet the new standards for air quality the government has released the draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a substantial reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners. To achieve this it will make it harder to purchase and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not certified by local authorities can be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. This is why it's important to purchase a DEFRA approved stove if you live in a zone that is smoke-free. We have a range of Defra stoves available including the Classic 5 clean burn multi-fuel stove that starts at just PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-controlled areas and are available in various designs. Smoke Exempt A DEFRA stove is an engineered wood burner that has passed a series of rigorous tests and exams to ensure that it is in compliance with the regulations of the Department for Environment. They are engineered to efficiently burn fuel by reducing harmful pollutants. If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled, a DEFRA stove is required. It permits you to use approved fuels like wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often called SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They are marked with the SE logo on their specifications or names. The Defra logo indicates that the stove has been subjected to independent testing and has proven capable of burning wood in a smoke-control zone without creating noxious fumes. It's a indicator that the manufacturer has gone above and beyond to comply with the rules. Certain stoves have their top air control altered to prevent it from closing completely. Closing the air supply to a log burner can deprive it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and creates black smoke. Stoves that have been Defra approved usually allow you to use a 5” flue liner when burning wood, however stoves that aren't DEFRA approved need a 6” liner which is too big for many UK chimneys. Another good reason to choose a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners and open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers like Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax incorporate secondary and tertiary combustion mechanisms to reduce their emissions, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint. Alongside providing a wide range of advantages, Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles that will be a perfect fit for your home. Some are more imposing than others, like the Arizona A08E woodburner, with its huge heat output and large glass viewing window, whereas others are more subtle such as the minimal Farringdon stove made by Aarrow. You can even fit the DEFRA woodburner into a recess, such as the Aarrow I400 cassette stove, for a sleek and clean look in your living space. EPA Certification EPA certified stoves are made to meet or exceed the emission standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and designed to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere. They also produce more warmth using less wood. These benefits make EPA-certified stoves a great option for those looking to save money on fuel while still enjoying the warm and cozy sensation of burning wood. Stoves that are EPA certified can use an enlarger flue, which will save you money on installation. This is because they are engineered to produce more heat than other stoves. This efficiency can also increase the capacity of your heater which could reduce your fuel costs over time. The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested compliance with strict rules and regulations that are issued by the government. It also assists manufacturers to keep their standards of quality and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that have been EPA certified must emit low levels of nitrous dioxide and particulates. This means they won't emit harmful gases into the air. This is a huge benefit for homeowners living in areas that have smoke control regulations. If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled and smoke-controlled, you are allowed to use certain types of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified to ensure that you can burn many different types of fuels, including smokeless fuels. These fuels are typically briquettes or other dry, readily-available materials that will not produce excessive quantities of smoke. If you buy a defra-exempt stove the air vent on the top will limit the amount of oxygen can be deprived to the stove during combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoulder and release black smoke into your home. The air vent at the top of stoves that are exempt from Defra is altered to prevent you from closing it all the way. Defra stoves are getting more popular due to their capacity to provide a cozy warm and cozy home, while also helping to reduce the amount of smoke in the air. They are simple to set up and can be utilized in homes with standard chimney systems so long as they have 6” liner.
