Defra Wood Stoves

If you live in a smoke-free zone then you need a DEFRA approved wood stove. They emit a tiny amount of smoke and are able to provide plenty of light, heat and flames.

Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have developed a range of Defra stoves that are traditional styled, but have the latest in clean burning technology. These stoves can burn many different types of fuels including authorised smokeless coal.

Efficient Combustion

Defra wood stoves utilize the most modern technology for combustion to ensure clean and efficient burning. This is done by ensuring the fire doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any part-burned burning combustibles which aren't completely burned will not be able to escape the chimney and into the air where they can create pollution.

These approved wood stoves from Defra are more suitable for your chimney and flue as they produce less smoke. This can help to keep them cleaner for a longer period of time while reducing the cost of maintenance and enhancing the performance of your stove.

Additionally, Defra wood stoves are perfect for those who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to use wood and smokeless fuels without breaking the law. You can choose from a variety of sizes and outputs to fit your home.

Smoke emissions are low at 0.26g/h.

In addition to being compliant with DEFRA emission standards, this stove has been tested by an independent lab to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready standard and can be used in smoke controlled areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready Stoves are designed to reduce emission and are 66% efficient than older open fireplaces and stoves.

The most effective Defra approved stoves to use are those made of dry, untreated wood with 20% moisture% or lower. This will not only help to ensure that the stove functions efficiently, but it will also create less smoke and increase its heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra wood stoves we offer have been certified to be ecodesign ready'. This means they have been regulated to be as efficient and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's "clearSkies" program.

The primary benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it produces considerably less smoke than a non-certified stove. The reason is because they are designed to ensure a continuous flow of air to the fire. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and DEFRA Stoves Price Range sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being starved of air during the process of combustion and reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is crucial, as particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They then travel throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs or the heart. This can lead to serious health problems and even premature death.

Despite the fact that these stoves emit far less harmful pollutants than older models however, the EU still wants to cut down on pollution from all sources. This is because it has been linked to a number of health issues, including asthma and other respiratory conditions.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality the government has released a draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a significant reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners.

One of the ways it intends to achieve this is to make it more difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in areas with smoke control. Stoves that are not approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's crucial to purchase a DEFRA approved stove.

Stoves that have been DEFRA approved may be called SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or specifications.

The Defra logo indicates that the stove has been subjected to independent tests and has been confirmed to be able of burning wood in a smoke-control zone without emitting harmful fumes. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went beyond the requirements.

Some stoves have been given a top air control modified so that it is not closed completely. Shut off the air supply to the stove to stop it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved permit you to burn wood using 5" liner, whereas stoves that are not approved by DEFRA require the use of a 6" flue liner. This is too large for many UK chimneys.

Another good reason to select a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more environmentally friendly than older models of woodburners and open fires.
