Defra Wood Stoves If you reside in a zone of smoke control then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves can provide plenty of heat, flames and light whilst emitting hardly any smoke. Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Parkray, and Stovax have created a range of Defra stoves that are traditionally designed, but feature the latest clean burning technology. They can be used to burn a variety of fuels, including smokeless coal. Efficient Combustion The wood stoves from Defra utilize the most modern technology of combustion to ensure safe and efficient burning. They accomplish this by ensuring that the fire isn't starved of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burned are not escaping up the chimney into the air, where they can cause pollution. These approved wood stoves from Defra are safer for your chimney system and flue as they produce less smoke. This can help to keep them cleaner for longer while reducing the cost of maintenance and enhancing the performance of your stove. Defra wood stoves are a great choice for people who live in UK Smoke Control Areas. This is because they permit you to use smokeless fuels and wood without violating the law. You can select from a variety of sizes and outputs to suit your home. Remember that only Defra-approved stoves can be used in smoke-controlled areas because they are approved for burning authorised fuels. You could be fined if burn fuels that are not approved by the Defra in your stove that is Defra-approved. If you're looking for a high-performance Defra approved stove take a look at the Stovax ST2. This Defra approved wood-burning stove comes with an impressive ClearSkies rating and energy rating of A+. It is designed to be efficient and has 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 can be used in 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 efficient Defra approved stoves are ones made from dry, untreated wood with 20% moisture 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 have been regulated by the EU to be as efficient and as clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the federal government's 'clearSkies' scheme. A stove that is Defra-approved produces less smoke than the stove that isn't certified. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire has an ongoing supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary and occasionally even a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being deprived of air during the combustion process and reduces the amount of black smoke it emits. Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is important as particulate pollution can be absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body, lodging in the lungs and the heart. This can cause serious health issues including premature death. The EU is determined to reduce pollution from any source, despite the fact that newer models produce less harmful pollutant. This is due to the fact that it has been linked to a number of health problems, including asthma and respiratory disorders. The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help meet the new air quality targets. 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 reduction in domestic fuel emissions, including wood stoves. In order to achieve this the goal, it will be harder to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves not approved by local authorities will be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. This is why it's so important to buy a DEFRA approved stove if you reside in a smoke controlled area. We have a variety of Defra Stoves including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove that starts at only PS420. They're all suitable for use in smoke-free areas and are available in a range of styles to suit your home. Smoke Exempt A DEFRA stove is an engineered wood burner that has passed a series rigorous tests and examinations to ensure that it conforms to the Department of Environment's regulations. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently by reducing harmful emissions. If you reside in a smoke-free area, then a DEFRA approved stove is required. It permits you to burn approved fuels like wood and other multifuels that would typically be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves and will have the SE logo on their specifications or names. The Defra approved logo means the stove has been tested independently and has been shown to burn wood in the smoke control zone without producing harmful smoke. It's a sign that the manufacturer went over the rules. Some stoves have had their top air control adjusted so that it cannot be closed completely. Shut off the air supply to a log burner to prevent it from burning and releasing black smoke. defra burning mdf that are Defra approved usually allow you to use 5” flue liner when burning wood, while stoves that are not DEFRA approved require a 6” liner which is too large for many UK chimneys. Another reason to consider a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners and open fires. The most recent stoves from top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley Parkray, and Stovax come with secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of their customers. Defra stoves are available in different styles to fit your home. They offer a number of advantages and are available in a range of sizes. Some are more striking like the Arizona A08E with its huge heat output, while others are more subtle, such as the minimal Farringdon from Aarrow. You can even have a DEFRA stove incorporated into a recess, such as the Aarrow I400 cassette stove to give a clean, sleek finish to your living room. EPA Certification EPA certified stoves have been certified to meet or exceed emission levels as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means they have been tested and are designed to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the air. They also provide more warmth and use less wood. These advantages make EPA certified stoves an excellent option for those looking to cut down on fuel expenses while enjoying the warm, comfortable sensation of burning wood. Stoves that have been EPA certified might be able to use smaller chimneys that can help you save on the installation cost. They are designed to burn more efficiently. This efficiency can also increase the heating capacity, which can reduce your the cost of fuel over time. The EPA certification requires that stoves are tested in accordance with strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also helps manufacturers maintain quality standards, and ensures that their products are safe for consumers. Stoves that are EPA certified must have low levels of nitrous oxide and particulate emissions levels which means that they do not release harmful gases into the air. This is a huge benefit for homeowners living in areas with smoke control regulations. If you reside in a smoke-free zone, you are able to burn certain kinds of fuels in your stove. Defra approved appliances have been modified to ensure that they can burn various fuels, including smokeless fuels. These are usually briquettes or other dry, easily-available materials that don't produce excessive quantities of smoke. If you purchase a defra exempt stove typically, it comes with a specific top air vent that limits how much the stove can be starved of oxygen during the combustion. This is because too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and emit black smoke into your home. Exempt stoves from the Defra regulations have a feature that stops you from closing the air vent on the top all the way. Defra stoves are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to provide a comfortable warm and cozy home, while also helping to reduce the amount of smoke that is in the air. They are simple to set up and are able to be used in homes with standard chimney systems as long as they are fitted with an 6” liner.
