What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra-approved multi-fuel stove is one that has passed the Defra test for smoke. They are also referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The government Defra department oversees rules and regulations concerning the environment, agriculture and rural issues. The Defra test demonstrates that you are able to burn wood or approved smokeless fuels, such as Anthracite ovals in a smoke-free area without causing any disturbance to your neighbors by emitting annoying smoke.

Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly stoves use renewable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. Eco-friendly stoves are typically built to burn wood, or a combination with other approved fuels. There are a selection of eco-friendly log burning and multi fuel stoves are readily available with a range of styles from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves even make use of dung (the excrement of domestic livestock) to provide a highly efficient and carbon-free alternative to wood.

The most important thing you can do to make your stove eco-friendly is ensure that the fuel is properly seasoned, or kiln-dried. This helps reduce the amount of moisture and lets the wood burn more efficiently, producing less smoke. It is recommended to buy only wood that has been procured from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to ensure it has been dried at an appropriate temperature.

The majority of newer stoves are built to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove manufacturers to design wood-burning stoves keeping energy efficiency and the environment in mind. Manufacturers must take into account emissions, resource efficiency, and waste reduction when they design Ecodesign stoves. These are some of the most eco-friendly and clean stoves on the market today.

Replace the grate on your stove with ceramic grates. This will make it more environmentally friendly. Ceramic is not just aesthetically pleasing and attractive, but it also comes with the added benefit of being anti-smoking and reducing the amount of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Ceramic Grease liners also have a longer life duration and are much easier to clean than steel inserts into grates.

In a Smoke Control Area you are able to use a wood-burner or multi-fuel stove, however it is important to only use fuels approved by Defra. You could be in breach of the law if you do not. To avoid this, you should only use Defra approved fuels, such as anthracite that is manufactured smokeless in your stove.

Clean Burning

A Defra approved multi fuel stove can be used in smoke-controlled areas if it burns authorised smokeless fuels only. It can be a smokeless log, anthracite or a naturally occurring or manufactured product. The stove manufacturers must also comply with the rules for selling a DEFRA stoves features-exempt wood burner. The Stove Yard has a great selection of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves from top brands such as Arada, Parkray and Burley.

These kinds of Defra exempt stoves come with the most modern combustion technology that is designed to reduce emissions and the build-up of tar up in your chimney and flue system. The stoves use secondary and tertiary systems to ignite particulates, tar gasses and other pollutants before they go into the air. This is why Defra approved wood burning stoves are so much healthier than open fires as well as older models of stoves.

The design of the Defra approved stove is different too, most of our range will have a hidden mechanism within the stove that allows a small continuous flow of air through to the fire even when the air vents are shut. This is to stop soot and ash from being carried up the chimney, which can block your stove and can result in dangerous chimney fires.

This is an essential feature for anyone living in a smoke-free zone The new Defra approved stoves do not allow you to shut the vents completely, and allow you to sleep your stove all night that could release combustibles that have been partially burned into the air.

A DEFRA-approved stove will also have a longer burning duration compared to stoves that aren't DEFRA-approved. However should you decide to switch your approved fuel with smokeless coal in order to rest the stove for a night and reduce the time of the burn as the constant supply of air needed for slumbering would curtail the burning of smokeless fuel.

Emissions Reductions

If used correctly, a DEFRA exempt stove can produce extremely low levels of emissions. These emissions are usually PM2.5 particles, which can cause a variety of health problems, including heart conditions and lung diseases when inhaled.

The high combustion efficiency provided by a DEFRA-approved wooden burner reduces the amount harmful particles and pollutants released during the burning process. This greatly reduces the environmental impact especially in urban areas where pollution levels are high.

The efficiency of a stove could lower the cost of heating your house. Utilizing a DEFRA approved wood burning stove over gas boilers that are conventional can reduce your carbon footprint as well as save money on your energy bills.

If you live in a zone where smoke is controlled, it's crucial that your stove be DEFRA approved (or Smoke Exempt) since it allows you to burn Defra Approved Fuels such as manufactured smokeless ovals, such as Anthracite or Homefire and dried wood and other authorised fuels.

In addition to being DEFRA approved Many stoves are tested to clearSkies level requirements and can be marked with the clearSkies mark. The clearSkies scheme is an independent scheme which requires stove manufacturers display information about the effectiveness and emissions of their appliances, allowing consumers make an informed choice. The information must include a stove's efficiency rating as well as emissions, along with its type and size.

It is important to remember that, as with Ecodesign the clearSkies regulations are merely minimum standards, and manufacturers can go beyond these. ESSE has developed its most recent stoves to make them even more efficient and less polluting, generating less smoke without any compromise in the performance or control. This latest advancement utilizes patented twin catalytic combustion technology that burns off any smoke particles it produces significantly reducing their impact on the atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke-controlled zone and you use a DEFRA Approved Stove with a high quality, kiln-dried or seasoned log you will get as much heat, or more than that, from the same amount of dry wood than if it were burned in the non DEFRA stoves specifications Approved Stove. In fact, it can be up to 24 per cent cheaper to heat your home with a a new DEFRA Approved stove than with the traditional gas boiler.
