Defra Wood Stoves If you reside in a region that has smoke control you'll 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 such as Arada, Parkray and Stovax have developed a collection of traditional Defra stoves which come with the latest clean burning technology. They can burn a variety of fuels that include smokeless coal. Efficient Combustion Defra wood burning stoves utilize the latest combustion technologies to ensure a clean and efficient burn. DEFRA legislation stoves accomplish this by ensuring that the fire isn't starved of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles that are not fully burned will not escape up the chimney into the atmosphere, where they can cause pollution. These Defra-approved wood stoves are safer for your chimney system and flue since they emit less smoke. This can keep them cleaner longer, lower maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of your wood stove. Defra wood stoves are also a great choice for people who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they permit you to burn wood and smokeless fuels without violating the law. There are a variety of sizes and heat outputs that can be used to fit different homes, so you will be able to find the perfect Defra approved wood stove for your home. Remember that only Defra-approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled environments, because they are approved for burning authorised fuels. If you burn a fuel that isn't approved in your Defra approved stove you could be punished. Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This wood-burning stove is Defra approved and boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient, with an air-to-fuel ratio that is 1:1. Smoke emissions are very low at 0.26g/h. This stove not only meets DEFRA emission standards, but it has also been tested independently according to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and can be used within smoke-free areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66 percent more efficient than traditional stoves and open fires. The most effective Defra approved stoves are made of dry, hard, untreated wood that has a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove functions effectively and reduce smoke and increase heating capacity. Reduced Emissions Many of the Defra wood stoves we sell have been certified to be 'Ecodesign Ready'. This means they've been regulated 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. The primary benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it produces considerably less smoke than an uncertified stove. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire has a constant supply of air. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove being starved of oxygen during the process of combustion and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits. These modern stoves are also designed to emit less harmful particulate matter than the previous models. This is crucial because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried through the body before settling in the lungs or the heart. This can cause serious health problems and even premature death. Despite the fact that these stoves produce far less harmful pollutants than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU continues to seek ways to reduce the amount of pollution from all sources. This is because it is linked to a range of health issues, including asthma and respiratory disorders. In order to achieve the new targets for air quality, the government has published the draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a substantial reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, including wood burners. To achieve this, it will make it difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not approved by local authorities could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. This is why it's so important to purchase a DEFRA approved stove if you live in a smoke controlled area. We have a range of Defra Stoves, including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove, which starts at PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-free areas and come in many different styles. Smoke Exempt A DEFRA stove has passed a series of tests and exams to comply with the Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful emissions. If you reside in a smoke-free area, then the use of a DEFRA approved stove is essential. It permits you to burn approved fuels, such as wood and other multifuels that would normally be restricted if you were not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and will display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications. The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been tested independently and is able to burn wood in a smoke control zone without producing nuisance smoke. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went over the rules. Certain stoves have their top air controls modified to prevent it from closing completely. Shut off the air supply to a log burner to prevent it from burning and releasing black smoke. Stoves that are DEFRA approved let you burn wood with 5” liner, while stoves that aren't approved by DEFRA require an 6” flue liner. This is too big for a lot of UK chimneys. Another good reason to select a Defra wood burning stove is that they are greener than older models of woodburners or open fires. The latest stoves from leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax feature secondary and tertiary combustion methods to cut down their carbon emissions, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint. Defra stoves are available in different styles to suit your home. They provide a variety of benefits and are also available in a range of sizes. Some are more striking than others, such as the Aarrow A08E woodburner with its large heat output and large view window, while others are more subtle, such as the minimalist Farringdon stove made by Aarrow. It is possible to fit the DEFRA woodburner into recesses, like the Aarrow I400 cassette stove, for a sleek, clean finish in your living room. EPA Certification EPA certified stoves are built to meet or exceed emission levels required by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and designed to reduce the amount of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. They also produce more warmth with less wood. These benefits make EPA-certified stoves a great choice for anyone who wants to save money on fuel while enjoying the warm and cozy sensation of burning wood. Stoves that are EPA certified might have smaller chimneys, which will help you save on the installation cost. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency also increases the heat capacity of your stove and save you money on cost of fuel. The EPA certification process requires stoves to be tested in accordance with strict regulations and rules that are established by the government. It also assists manufacturers in maintain their quality standards and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified are required to emit very low levels of nitrous dioxide and particulates, which means they don't release harmful gases in the air. This can be a huge benefit for homeowners who live in areas with smoke control regulations. If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled, you are only allowed to burn certain kinds of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been altered so that you can burn various fuels, including smokeless fuels. These are typically briquettes, or other easily-available dry materials that do not generate excessive smoke. If you purchase a stove that is defra exempt, the top air vent will limit the amount of oxygen can be delivered to the stove during the process of combustion. This is because too much oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and emit black smoke into your home. The top air vent on stoves exempt from Defra regulations is modified to prevent the stove from closing all the way. Defra stoves are becoming more popular due to their ability to provide a warm and comfortable living space while reducing the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are easy to install, and can be used in homes that have standard chimney systems as long as they are fitted with a 6” liner.
