Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a zone of smoke control then you require a DEFRA approved wood stove. They emit a tiny amount of smoke and provide plenty of heat, light and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have created a range of Defra stoves that are traditional styled, DEFRA Stoves Disadvantages but have the latest clean burning technology. These stoves can be used to burn various types of fuels, including smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood stoves use the latest technology for combustion to ensure clean and efficient burning. This is achieved by ensuring the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any part-burned combustion products that aren't fully burnt will not escape down the chimney and into the air where they can pollute the air.

These approved wood stoves from DEFRA registered stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue since they emit less smoke. This can keep them cleaner longer, lower costs for maintenance and increase the efficiency of your wood stove.

Defra wood stoves are also the perfect choice for those who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn smokeless fuels and wood without violating the law. There are a range of sizes and heat outputs available to suit different homes, so you can locate the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home.

It is important to remember that only Defra approved stoves should be used in smoke controlled areas because they have been approved to burn approved fuels and wood. If you burn a non-approved fuel in your Defra approved stove, you could be punished.

If you're in search of an extremely efficient Defra approved stove take a look at the Stovax ST2. This Defra-approved wood burning stove boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient, with an air-to-fuel ratio of 1. Smoke emissions are minimal at 0.26g/h.

This stove not only meets DEFRA emission standards, but it has also been independently tested according to the strict 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 old stoves and open fires.

The most efficient DEFRA approved efficient stoves approved stoves are those made of dry, hard, untreated wood that has an average moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove works efficiently and reduce smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are controlled to be as efficient as possible and as clean burning as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies' scheme.

A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. The reason is that they are built to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes a third, air intake. This prevents the stove from being depriving of air during the process of combustion and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves are designed to emit less harmful particulate matter than earlier models. This is important, because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried around the body and lodge in the lungs or heart. This can cause serious health problems, including premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutant. This is because it has been linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and other respiratory conditions.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan aims to cut the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

One of the ways it intends to achieve this is by making it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control areas. Stoves that are not approved by local authorities could be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. This is why it's important to buy a DEFRA approved stove if you live in a smoke controlled area.

We have a variety of Defra Stoves which include the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-controlled areas and come in many different designs.
