Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra-approved log burning device is a preferred choice for homeowners. This is due to the fact that they offer a cleaner burn and provide better control of heating costs.

They also allow you to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas which is an advantage since it can avoid the fines that are levied against people who use stoves that aren't approved. They come in different designs to match your home.

Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology is utilized in log burners that have been defra-approved to reduce the amount and types of particles and smoke released. It has been proven that this technology can reduce the health risks associated with poor air in urban areas. This is especially applicable to wood-burning stove or fireplace. Bergen, for instance, realized the importance of taking measures to improve air quality. This is why non-cleanburn stoves were removed from the city. The program to trade in stoves was a huge success. Bergen ranked fifth among the 320 European cities in 2021 with respect to its air quality.

To accomplish this, stoves that are Defra-approved have been designed to ensure that the flame receives enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is achieved by having an additional air feed which allows extra combustion air to enter the appliance in addition to the primary and/or the main air intake. The typical secondary air intake is situated on the back of the stove under or within the fire box of the stove while a tertiary intake is located in the centre.

These modern, Defra exempt stoves have been through rigorous tests in order to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is provided the correct type of wood, that is seasoned and dried to less than 20% moisture content. This can be utilized in conjunction with the Defra approved stove.

A Defra approved stove has also been tested to be able to emit no more than 3g of smoke per hour, which is the legal limit for many UK towns and cities. If a stove is found to emit excessive emissions, the owner could be fined a sum of PS300 or more.

A stove that is approved by Defra will bear a Defra mark on it, as well as an Ecodesign label. This will come into the market in 2022. Ecodesign-compliant stoves have to pass stringent emissions tests and have an efficiency rating of at minimum 72%. A stove with a higher efficiency rating will help to further reduce the amount of air pollution produced by the stove, as well as saving you money on heating costs.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

The UK government has set strict emission limits for stoves and fireplaces. They are designed to keep the country clean and healthier place to live. Many cities and towns homes are within Smoke Control Areas, where the production of dark smoke could be a source of irritation for residents. If you reside in a Smoke Control Area and have an older open-fire or wood-burning stove, you must upgrade to a Defra approved log burner.

These are more efficient and cleaner burning, as well as more eco-friendly than traditional log burners. Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray & Stovax are continuing to improve their products and are introducing models with secondary and secondary combustion systems that reduce emissions. These advanced burners are more efficient than the ones they replace and will reduce your fuel expenses in the long run.

DEFRA approved, or DEFRA compliant Stoves exempt, are terms that indicate the stove has passed an UK Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs test. This test ensures the stove is safe used in smoke-controlled areas. The term Defra Exempt can also be used to describe models that have passed the test and can be used to burn authorised smokeless fuels that are listed in a list published by Defra. These fuels do not include wood.

You could be penalized when you use a stove that isn't DEFRA approved in a smoke-controlled zone. Visit the official Defra website to see if you're in a smoke-controlled area. To avoid fines, you should only burn dry seasoned wood and DEFRA stoves advantages approved smokeless fuels, not logs or other wet woods.

Regular cleaning can also ensure that your stove glass stays clear and clean so that you can take in the view of a stunning flames without obstructions.

There are many tools you can use to help with the maintenance of your wood burner, including cleaning brushes, ash vacuum cleaner and polishing your stove. It is crucial to carry out the cleaning procedure when your stove is cool and we recommend wearing gloves that resist heat.

The first step is to make use of the grate brush remove any ash that has built up on the bottom of the stove. Make sure that you reach all crevices and corners. You can then make use of an ash vacuum to remove any remaining ashes and dispose of them in a metal container. After your stove is thoroughly cleaned then you can apply a soft cloth to apply an oven cleaner. Be careful not to get your hands on the hot surface.

It is essential to only burn seasoned, high-quality wood on your defra approved log burner to ensure that you are not producing high levels of particulates. Look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn Logo or use a moisture meter to ensure the moisture content of the wood is below 20 percent. Seasoning your own logs is also an option, but it could take up to two years for the moisture to evaporate.

It is best DEFRA stoves to avoid burning painted, stained or chemically treated wood (this includes pallets, MDF and Medium Density Fibreboard). These woods release dangerous chemicals when they are burned, and should never be burned on a log stove.

It is essential to install your log burner correctly in order to maintain its efficiency and performance. Install it by a professional in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts. Incorrectly installing a stove can lead to safety issues, damage and increased expenses.

Energy efficient

Defra-approved log burners are typically more energy efficient than their competitors. This is because they have passed tests to ensure that the right amount of air is pumped to the wood or multi fuel stove during combustion. This reduces the amount of smoke that is produced and, in turn, reduces emissions and heat loss from the stove.

If you buy a defra-exempt wood burner you can also be sure that it will be safe for use in your chimney as it will have the flue size of 5" (150mm). Non-Defra-approved stoves have a larger chimney outlet, which could create problems when fitting an chimney liner. At The Stove Yard we can offer a range of 5" chimney liners for your wood or multi fuel stoves that are exempt from defra.

The majority of the stoves we sell at The Stove Yard are DEFRA approved British stoves approved and feature the most recent clean burning technology. A majority of our models feature secondary and tertiary fuels for air to ensure fuel combustion. This improves the efficiency of the stove and reduces the amount smoke generated.

A Defra-approved log burner will also allow you to use it legally within Smoke Control Area. UK cities and large towns are classified as Smoke Control Areas. To comply with the law you must use a DEFRA approved appliance when burning wood and smokeless coal.
