Efficient Combustion

The wood stoves from Defra utilize the latest technology of combustion to ensure safe and efficient burning. This is achieved by making sure that the fire does not run out of oxygen. This means that any part-burned combustibles that aren't fully burned will not be able to escape the chimney and into the air, where they could cause pollution.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra wood stoves we offer have been certified to be 'Ecodesign Ready'. This means that they are checked to be as efficient as possible and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the federal government's "clearSkies" program.

A stove that is Defra-approved will produce less smoke than a stove that is not certified. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an uninterrupted supply of air. This is accomplished by having a second, and sometimes a third, air intake. This prevents the stove being deficient in oxygen during the process of combustion and also reduces the amount of black smoke it releases.

These modern stoves are also designed to produce less harmful particulate matter than earlier models. This is important because particulate matter can get into the bloodstream and circulate around the body, lodging in the lungs and heart. This can cause serious health issues, including premature death.

The EU wants to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutant. This is due to the fact that it is linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

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 the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require the reduction of household fuel emissions, including wood stoves.

To achieve this, it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved will be penalized by local authorities, ranging from PS1,000 per hour they release smoke.

Smoke Exempt

A DEFRA stove has passed a string of tests and exams to meet the Department of Environment regulations. They are designed to make use of fuel more efficiently and reduce harmful pollution.

If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled and smoke-free, having a DEFRA stove is required. It allows you to burn approved fuels, such as wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved may be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

Discover More approved logo means the stove has been tested independently and has been shown to burn wood in an area that is smoke-free without producing excessive smoke. It is a great indication that the manufacturer has gone above and beyond to comply with the regulations.

Certain stoves have been given a top air control modified so that it is not shut completely. The air supply that is shut off to a log burner can deprive it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and produces black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved usually allow you to use a 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, whereas stoves that are not DEFRA approved require a 6" liner which is too large for many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is also more environmentally friendly than older models or open fires.
