This means that if you live in a smoke controlled area then you should only use a DEFRA stove and only burn approved fuels such as logs, pellets or coal. If you purchase a non DEFRA stove and burn fuels that are not permitted that are not permitted, you could be penalized as high as PS1000.

A Defra approved stove delivers the minimum amount of air for combustion which in turn results in low smoke emissions. This is the only way to ensure that you're allowed to burn wood or other approved fuels in Smoke Control Areas.

DEFRA stoves also adhere to strict regulations regarding the emission of smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled. These regulations are designed to decrease the amount of particulate matter that escapes into the air during combustion.

The latest DEFRA wood-burning stoves are designed to achieve this through the use of advanced combustion systems which do not restrict airflow inside the firebox. This lets the wood be burnt faster and more thoroughly, reducing the release of particles into the air. Additionally, DEFRA stoves are equipped with a secondary burn system which reduces emissions by re-burning any unburnt combustibles from the earlier combustion process.

It is possible to install an appliance that does not comply with DEFRA regulations, however this will require major modifications to your chimney or flue. It will likely require a structural alteration which may require planning permission. In order to avoid this, we suggest using a DEFRA approved stove when buying a new fireplace or wood-burning stove.
