What Are Defra Approved Stoves?

These stoves, also known as Defra Exempt Stoves or Smoke Control Approved Stoves are designed to burn smokeless fuels approved by Defra like Anthracite Ovals. However, they won't be suitable for use with wood.

To be considered Defra exempt, a stove has to be tested in a laboratory for flue draught control and air controls. These tests differ from real world conditions.

Clean Burn Technology

A DEFRA-approved stove is a wood-burning or multifuel stove that has been through a rigorous test developed by the UK Government Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The test confirms that the stove can burn approved non-smokeless fuels like logs or briquettes, in Smoke Controlled Areas. This kind of stove isn't just better for the environment and the environment, but it's more beneficial for your neighbors too as it will reduce the nuisance smoke.

These DEFRA stoves are equipped with a specialized combustion technology that allows them to sleep, or slumber longer than other stoves. This means that they can burn any smokeless fuels that are authorised efficiently and in a clean way while still maintaining the required heating output for your home. They achieve this by restricting the oxygen supply into the firebox, which forces the fuel to burn at a lower level until it is completely eliminated.

Defra stoves will often be described as SE stoves or smoke-free stoves. They will also sport a label or badge with the DEFRA Logo. You might see them marked as 'Ecodesign compliant 2022' to indicate they will meet the new Ecodesign emission limits when they become effective next year.

When it comes to purchasing a DEFRA stove, there are many different factors that you will need to take into consideration. Included in this are the kind of stove, fuel types that can be used and the amount of heat it's capable of producing. There are also some additional features you may want to think about, like a simple remote control system or an air wash system.

Smoke Controlled Areas

Smoke Control Areas are defined in the majority of UK towns and cities. If you reside in such an area you'll require a DEFRA-exempt wood stove or multifuel stove. These are designed to comply with the Clean Air Act regulations and have been tested to ensure they burn in a smoke-free manner.

A DEFRA approved stove has been designed with Clean Burn Technology, which is why they are smoke-free. This is done by forcing oxygen into the combustion chamber continuously until the fuel has been consumed. This means that the fire won't be shut off as in a traditional stove, and it will continue to burn at low levels until the fuel is consumed completely and the flue gasses are exhausted.

This ensures that you can legally use the stove in a Smoke Control Area using 'authorized fuels' which include manufactured smokeless fuels and wood (anthracite, smokeless briquettes, and firelogs). This differs from stoves that are not approved by the Defra, which are only allowed to be used in a Smoke Control Area if they have been fitted with a special Smoke Control Kit.

Ecodesign regulation across the EU will be in effect in 2022. It will establish minimum efficiencies and emission limits.

Smokeless Fuels

When selecting a stove that uses smokeless fuels, there are numerous things to take into account. To begin with the stove has to be DEFRA approved to be used in a smoke controlled area.

Smokeless fuels are typically anthracite-based and come in the form of Briquettes. They are made to be more eco-friendly than traditional coal, and they also last up to 40 percent longer. Additionally, smokeless fuels produce more heat than traditional coal and they don't emit more carbon dioxide.

They are more expensive, yet they have many benefits for you and your family. They are much easier to ignite and won't produce as much soot or Ash. This means that the stove's grill and the glass screen won't need cleaning as often. They also produce a more dancing flame, and they don't emit more smoke.
