Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

It is essential to check all regulations before buying a new appliance. It is crucial to make sure that the stove you choose to purchase is DEFRA certified when used in smoke control areas burning wood or approved smokeless coal.

The stoves come with separate air controls that provide the correct amount of air for secondary and primary combustion. They also come with a removable grate for easy cleaning.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi-fuel stoves are able to be used with a variety of materials including logs. Smokeless fuels, turf or peat briquettes, anthracite, and other materials are all suitable for use. These materials produce less harmful emissions than logs. A lot of our multifuel stoves come with clean burn technology that reduces the amount of particles produced during combustion. The term "clean burn" can also refer to other technologies that decrease emissions such as preheated secondary or Ecodesign Ready.

Additionally, a lot of our multi-fuel stoves have raised grates with moving bars or a central riddling grate with an asphan beneath it that aids to ensure the proper combustion conditions. This ensures the combustion process produces the least amount of black smoke possible during operation. This allows the removal of ash at the bottom of the stove, which could be contained in an asphan below.

If you live in the Smoke Control Area, it's important to buy a Defra exempt wood burning or multi fuel stove that is Defra approved. This will ensure that you'll be able to use the stove legally, provided that it's only burning 'authorised fuels' (as as per DEFRA guidelines). This is because non-Defra stoves may be susceptible to slumbering, an issue where the combustion system is deprived of air resulting in black smoke. Defra approved wood burners (or Defra-exempt stoves) have been thoroughly tested and verified to prevent the risk of slumbering. This provides you with peace of mind knowing that your stove is always clean and efficient when used properly.

Defra Approved

In areas of the UK classified as smoke-free, stoves that are DEFRA approved may be used. This includes many cities towns, urban zones and towns. You could be charged a fine when you live in an area where you burn wood or fuel that is not approved. Stoves that are DEFRA approved efficient stoves certified will supply the minimum amount of air required to ensure efficient combustion, which means that they produce very small, if any polluting smoke.

Stoves must pass tests for efficiency and emissions in order to get the Defra approval. The Defra logo is frequently seen on stoves and manufacturers websites, so it's easy to spot. Many stove manufacturers are enhancing the products they offer by adding secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. This makes their stoves environmentally friendly and allows them to be used with a wider range of fuels.

When you are buying a new wood burning or multi-fuel stove, consider whether it's DEFRA approved. This is particularly important if you live in a smoke-free zone. Even if you are able to use approved smokeless fuels, such as anthracite and briquettes but a stove that is not approved by DEFRA will still emit noxious smoke, which is in violation of the law.

DEFRA approved stoves will have an adjustment on the top air vent which will stop you from closing it all the way down. This stops you from starving the stove of oxygen, which could slow its combustion and cause it to start smoldering. The more smouldering happens the more smoke produced and the less efficient your stove is burning. If you have a DEFRA-approved stove you should only use dry wood that has been seasoned and smokeless fuels that are approved. Using damp wood or other fuels that are wet produce excessive smoke and cause annoyance to neighbours. This is not only illegal, but could also lead to costly fines. If you're planning to install a multi-fuel fireplace that is DEFRA-approved, you'll need to engage an engineer to ensure that it complies with the building regulations.

Smoke Control Areas

The UK's Smoke Control Areas are primarily located in large towns and cities where smoke pollution is a major nuisance to local inhabitants. If you are in a smoke control zone, you are not permitted to burn unauthorised fuels on open fires or wood burning stoves in the event that they are not listed as exempt appliances. Defra approved stoves that burn wood and multi-fuel come with the most recent combustion technology, which prevents part-burned combustibles from escaping your chimney. They are therefore an ideal choice for smoke-free homes.

DEFRA approval is a sign that your appliance has been tested and certified to burn all fuels allowed without producing excessive smoke. This is achieved by supplying the right amount of air needed for the combustion process to keep the combustibles at their ideal levels. Wood burning stoves that have been approved by Defra are better for the environment, and less likely to cause a chimney blockage.
