Defra Wood Stoves

If you reside in an area that has smoke control you'll need a DEFRA-approved wood stove. These stoves release very little smoke and are able to provide plenty of heat, light and flames.

Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have produced a great collection of traditional Defra stoves which come with the latest technology for clean burning. They can burn a variety fuels that include smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood stoves utilize the latest combustion technology to ensure clean and efficient burning. They do this by making sure that the fire is not starved of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burnt will not escape down the chimney and into the air and pollute the air.

These approved wood stoves from DEFRA stoves ratings are more suitable for your chimney system and flue since they emit less smoke. This can keep them cleaner longer, reduce maintenance costs and improve the performance of your wood stove.

Additionally, Defra wood stoves are ideal for those living in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn smokeless fuels and wood without violating the law. You can pick from a range of sizes and heat outputs to suit your home.

It's 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. If you burn a fuel that isn't approved in your Defra approved stove you could be punished.

Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This Defra approved wood burning stove has an impressive ClearSkies rating and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient, and has an air-to-fuel ratio of 1. Smoke emissions are minimal at 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested by an independent lab to a rigorous SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and is suitable for use in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than older stoves and open fireplaces.

The most reliable Defra-approved stoves are made of untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove works efficiently and reduce smoke and increase heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are controlled to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the federal government's "clearSkies" program.

The major benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it will produce significantly less smoke than an uncertified stove. This is due to the fact that they were designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is accomplished through having a secondary and shed occasionally even a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove from being depriving of air during the process of combustion and reduces the amount of black smoke it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is important because particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and circulate around the body, lodging in the lungs and the heart. This can cause serious health issues including premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves emit far less harmful pollutants than older models, the EU continues to seek ways to reduce the amount of pollution from all sources. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and other respiratory conditions.

To meet the new standards for air quality, the government has published the draft Environment Plan. The plan is aimed at reducing average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a significant reduction in emissions from domestic fuels like wood burners.

To achieve this it will make it difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that are not approved by local authorities will be fined 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 stove.

We have a variety of Defra Stoves including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. They're all suitable for Shed use in smoke-controlled areas and are available in a range of styles to suit your home.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove is a wood burner that has passed a series rigorous tests and exams to ensure it abides by the Department of Environment's regulations. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and reduce harmful pollution.

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

The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been independently tested and has been proven to burn wood in a smoke control zone without producing nuisance smoke. It's a good indication that the manufacturer has gone over and beyond to be in compliance with the laws.

Some stoves have their top air controls altered to prevent it from being closed completely. The air supply that is shut off to a log burner can deprive it of oxygen which impedes its combustion and causes black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved will typically allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, while stoves that are not DEFRA approved require a 6" liner which is too big for many UK chimneys.

Another good reason to choose a defra burning mdf wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners or open fires.

Defra stoves come in a variety of styles to match your home. They come with a range of advantages and are available in a variety of sizes. Some are more striking, like the A08E from Arizona A08E with its large heat output, and others are subtler, like the simple Farringdon from Aarrow. You can even fit a DEFRA woodburner into recesses, like the Aarrow I400 cassette stove, for a sleek and clean look in your living space.

EPA Certification

EPA certified stoves are certified by the EPA. They meet or exceed emission levels as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They have been tested to ensure that they are less likely to release pollution released into the air. They also generate more heat using less wood. These benefits make EPA-certified stoves an excellent choice for anyone looking to save money on fuel while still getting the warm and cozy sensation of burning wood.

Stoves that are EPA certified will have an enlarger flue, which will save you money on installation. This is due to the fact that they are designed to burn more efficiently than other stoves. This efficiency also increases the efficiency of the stove's heating, saving you money in cost of fuel.

The EPA certification requires that stoves be tested according to strict regulations and rules imposed by the government. It also assists manufacturers in keep their standards of quality and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low nitrous oxide and particulate emission levels that means they will not release harmful gases into the air. This is a huge advantage for homeowners in areas with smoke control regulations.

If you live in an area with smoke control and smoke-controlled, you are allowed to use certain types of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been altered so that they can burn a variety different fuels including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other readily-available dry materials that do not produce excessive smoke.

If you purchase a stove that is defra exempt, the top air vent will limit the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the stove during the process of combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and release black smoke into your home. Exempt stoves from the Defra regulations come with a modification that will prevent you from closing the top air vent all the way.

Defra stoves are becoming increasingly popular because of their capability to provide a comfortable warm and warm home, while also helping to reduce the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are also simple to install and can be installed in homes with standard flue systems, so long as you have a 6-" flue liner.
