What is a DEFRA Wood Burning Stoves Approved Stove?

If you're looking to buy an electric stove that burns wood and you live in a smoke-free area it is essential to select one that is DEFRA exempt or approved stove. Stoves that are not DEFRA exempt may starve the log burner and cause excess emissions and smouldering fuel.

Clean Burn Technology

When you opt for a DEFRA approved stove you will be doing your bit to reduce air pollution. These stoves that burn wood are specifically designed to meet the stringent smoke emission standards set by the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Clean burn technology is available in the DEFRA stoves we sell. This assures that all wood or solid fuels you use are completely burned before they can escape up your chimney. This is achieved by secondary and sometimes even tertiary intakes of air that ensure that every bit of smoke is burned before it leaves the stove. This means that your chimney will remain cleaner for longer and you'll have a more efficient stove that uses less fuel to heat your home.

DEFRA stoves are available in both traditional and contemporary styles. This is because not everyone would like their new stove to be the focal feature of their home and you may want a more subtle option that will blend into your decor. We have a selection of inglenook and freestanding stoves that are compliant with DEFRA approval standards, so you can find the perfect fit for your fireplace chamber.

They are permitted to use legally in Smoke Control Areas. If you live in an area designated as classified as a Smoke Control Area, it is essential to purchase a DEFRA stove. If you use an appliance that is not approved, it could result in the levy of a fine. You can find out whether you reside in a Smoke Control Area by visiting the DEFRA website or contacting your local authority.

Smoke Exempt

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves have undergone rigorous testing to ensure that they can be used within smoke-controlled areas. Bowland Stoves offers a range of DEFRA wood burning stoves that provide low emissions, clean combustion and the possibility of saving money. You can even choose from a range of styles that suit your home's aesthetic.

Smoke Control Areas are set by local authorities and the principal reason for their existence is to reduce the amount of smog from being released into towns and cities across the UK. In the past, people used to burn any kind of fuel they liked in their homes and this led to a heavy smog over several areas, which led to health issues for the inhabitants. In the past, there was no legislation governing this but nowadays, we have to abide by the rules.

To ensure the safety of the public, Defra has created regulations that specify which stoves are allowed to be used in certain areas and what kinds of fuel we can burn in them. If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled, you can only make use of an DEFRA approved stove and burn only authorised fuels such as coal, logs or pellets. If you buy a non DEFRA stove and burn fuels that are not permitted, you could be penalized as high as PS1000.

A Defra approved stove provides the minimum amount of air to burn, which results in low smoke emissions. This is the only way to be sure that you are legally able to burn wood and other approved fuels in a Smoke Control Area.

To be DEFRA-approved, wood burners and stoves that burn multiple fuels must have a minimum moisture content of 20% to avoid the formation of excessive smoke. To get this to happen, wood needs to be seasoned. It is recommended to choose wood from the Forestry Commission's"Woodsure Ready To Burn" scheme.

If you are purchasing a stove for use in a Smoke Control Area, make sure it's got a Defra logo on it or a slash in its name. This indicates that the stove is smoke-free. The Defra logo is very easily identifiable and has been widely adopted by the industry.

In compliance with Building Regulations

If a wood burning stove is DEFRA approved, it means that it has been thoroughly tested and has met the requirements of building construction. This assures that it is safe to use and that the flue system is properly installed. This helps reduce the air pollution in the home and also prevents fire dangers. This is particularly crucial for those who live in smoke control areas where it is illegal to burn unauthorised fuels.

Our range of DEFRA stoves come in various sizes and styles, so you can choose the ideal stove for your home. We have freestanding models, inglenook and even inset with modern and traditional styles to suit any decor. Based on your preferences you can pick a wood burner or a multi-fuel version. All of our DEFRA stoves come with clean-burn technology so you are assured that they burn your chosen fuels effectively and efficiently.

DEFRA stoves also adhere to strict regulations governing the emission of smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled. These rules are designed to reduce the amount of particulate material that is released into atmosphere during combustion.

The most recent DEFRA wood-burning stoves have been designed specifically for this purpose, and feature advanced combustion systems that do not restrict airflow within the firebox. This allows the timber to be burned more thoroughly and fast which decreases the release of particulate matter into the atmosphere. In addition, DEFRA stoves are equipped with a secondary burn system which reduces emissions by re-burning any unburnt combustibles from the earlier combustion process.

It is possible to install an appliance that does not comply with DEFRA regulations, but this will require significant modifications to your chimney or flue. This would require structural changes that could require planning permission. To avoid this, it is recommended to select a DEFRA-compliant stove when buying a brand new fireplace with wood burning.

A DEFRA-approved kitchen appliance will usually also include a 5" flue outlet (125mm). This means you can use 5" vitreous enamel flue liner which will help you save money on installation costs. This is a great idea for those who are on a budget or where the chimney stack has some awkward bends to navigate.

Reduced Emissions

When you are looking for a wood burning stove, you will encounter various terms that could confuse you. The term DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt stoves mean that they can be used in smoke-free areas in the UK.

The stoves have been tested to ensure that they are in compliance with UK smoking laws. This is accomplished by incorporating the most modern clean burn technology, which uses secondary and third-level combustion to create cleaner air inside your home. This can also help reduce your fuel consumption as the fuel is burned more efficiently, which reduces the carbon footprint of your home.

Due to the latest technology employed, DEFRA wood burning stoves certified are much more sustainable than older open fires as well as stoves. If used properly the wood burning stove is carbon neutral. This is due to the fact that trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and then release it back into the atmosphere when they are burnt. This is the reason they are a green alternative to fossil fuels for heating your home.

However, the primary concern with a wood-burning stove is the emissions that are produced. The smoke that is produced by a wood-burning stove contains ultra-fine particulates which are known to cause health issues. These particulates can penetrate deep into the lungs causing breathing problems, and can also aggravate asthma symptoms, and make you feel unwell. They also increase the risk of cancer, heart disease and premature death.

The British wood burning industry is now the largest source of PM2.5 pollution, causing three times more pollution than road traffic. This is due to the fact that traditional wood stoves don't make use of clean burning technology. It is essential to purchase a DEFRA-exempt stove if your area is smoke-free or is not. They are safer for your chimney and the environment.

Bowland Stoves stocks a large range of DEFRA-approved stoves from the top manufacturers like Arada, Stovax, and Burley. If you're not sure which kind of stove is the best one for your home, we recommend consulting with a member of our team. However, if you decide to purchase a DEFRA approved stove, you can rest certain that it has been through extensive testing to ensure that it is safe to use in smoke controlled areas.
