What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?A defra-approved multi fuel stove is one that has successfully passed the Defra smoke tests. They are also known as SE (smoke-exempt) stoves.
The Defra department of the government is responsible for the rules and regulations that deal with rural issues, agriculture and the environment. The Defra Test assures you that you are able to burn wood, approved smokeless fuels like Anthracite Ovals, for instance, in a smoke-controlled area without disturbing neighbors.Eco-Friendly
Eco-friendly stoves make use of sustainable materials and fuels to reduce emissions. They typically burn wood or a mixture of fuels that are approved and are designed with eco-friendly considerations in the back of their minds. A variety of eco-friendly log burners and multi fuel stoves are offered with a range of styles from contemporary to traditional models. Some eco-friendly stoves utilize the dung of pigs as a reliable and carbon-negative substitute for wood.
The most important thing you can do to make your stove green is to make sure that the fuel is properly seasoned or dried and kiln-fired. This helps reduce the amount of moisture and allows the wood to burn more efficiently, producing less smoke. It's also a great idea to purchase only wood from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when buying wood to ensure that it has been dried to an appropriate temperature.
Most modern stoves are designed to meet the strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove makers to design wood-burning stoves keeping energy efficiency and the environment in mind. Ecodesign stoves must take into account the environment, energy efficiency, and the reduction of waste. This makes them some of the most eco-friendly and clean stoves on the market.
Replace the grates on your stove with a ceramic grate. This will make it more eco-friendly. This material is not only visually appealing, but it also has the benefit of being non-smoking and helping to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide that is released into the air. 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 can still enjoy a wood burner or multi-fuel stove, but it is important to only use fuels approved by Defra. If you do not have this, you could be in breach of the law and face getting a fine from your local council. It is recommended to only use fuels approved by Defra like anthracite-based round manufactured by Defra in your stove.
Clean Burning
Multi fuel stoves approved by Defra can only be used in areas that are smoke-controlled in the event that they burn only smokeless fuel. It could be a smokeless log, anthracite or a manufactured or natural product. Stove makers must also adhere to the regulations in order to produce an DEFRA exempt wood burner for sale. The Stove Yard has a an extensive range of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves made by top brands like Arada, Parkray and Burley.
These types of DEFRA list stoves exempt stoves come with the most advanced combustion technology, designed to reduce the amount of emissions and tar build-up in your chimney and flue system. They employ the most advanced secondary and tertiary airflow systems to ignite particulates and tar gases before they escape into the air. This is what makes an Defra approved stove less polluting than older stoves that burn wood and open fires.
The design of a Defra-approved stove is also distinct. The majority of our stoves have a hidden mechanism that allows a small, continuous flow of air to the flame even if the vents for air have been shut. This prevents ash and soot being sent up the fireplace, which can cause dangerous chimney fires.
The new Defra-approved stoves don't allow you to shut the vents for air and sleep the stove overnight and release part burned combustibles in the atmosphere.
A DEFRA approved stove also has the longest burn time than non-Defra models, although it's worth noting that if you changed your fuel of choice for smokeless coal, and wanted to rest your stove over night it would reduce the burn time because the constant supply of air needed for slumbering would reduce the combustion of the smokeless fuel.
Emissions Reductions
When used correctly, a DEFRA-exempt stove can produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles which, when inhaled, can cause numerous health issues, including heart problems and lung diseases.
The high efficiency of combustion provided by a DEFRA-approved wooden burner reduces the amount harmful particles and pollutants released in the process of burning. This minimizes the impact of the process of burning on the environment.
In addition to decreasing harmful emissions, the efficiency of a stove decreases the cost of heating your home. If you use a DEFRA-approved wood burning stove in place of a gas boiler, you can lower your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bill.
If you reside in a smoke-free zone, it's important to ensure that your stove is DEFRA approved or Exempt since this will permit you to burn approved Defra fuels such as manufactured smokeless coal ovals, such as Anthracite and Homefire and dried wood and other approved solid fuels. This will allow you to relax in the fireplace, without worrying about how the stench of smoke could be a nuisance to your neighbors.
In addition to being DEFRA approved Many stoves are tested to clearSkies standards and are able to be identified with the mark clearSkies. The clearSkies scheme is an independent scheme that requires stove manufacturers display information about the efficiency and emissions of their products, allowing consumers make an informed decision. The information must include the stove's efficiency rating as well as emissions, as well as the type and size of the stove.
It's important to remember that, like with Ecodesign, clearSkies regulations represent minimum standards. Manufacturers can go above and beyond these. ESSE, for example has developed its latest stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning, producing less particulates without sacrificing performance or control. This latest development uses Twin Catalytic Combustion Technology that burns all smoke particles and reduces their impact on the atmosphere.
In fact when you're in a smoke-free zone and are using an DEFRA Approved stove with a good quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll be able to generate as much, or even more heat from the same amount of dry wood as if were to burn it on a non-DEFRA Approved stove. It could be up to 24 per cent less expensive to heat your home using a new DEFRA Approved Stove than with a gas boiler.
