What is a DEFRA Wood Burning Stoves Approved Stove?

If you reside in an zone where smoke is controlled and you're looking to purchase a wood-burning stove it is crucial to select a DEFRA approved or exempt stove. Stoves that are not DEFRA exempt can cause starvation to the log burner and cause excess emissions and smouldering fuel.


Clean Burn Technology

If you select a DEFRA-approved stove you will be able to reduce the amount of air pollution. These wood burning stoves have been designed to meet the strict smoke emission standards established by the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Clean burn technology is included in the DEFRA stoves we sell. This assures that all wood or solid fuels you burn are burned completely before they escape your chimney. This is achieved through secondary and sometimes tertiary intakes into air that ensure that every bit of smoke is smoldering before it leaves the stove. This means that your chimney will stay clean for longer and you will have an efficient stove that requires less fuel to heat your home.

DEFRA stoves are available in both traditional and contemporary styles. It's because not everyone would like to have a stove that draws the most attention in their living space. You might want something that is more discrete and blends into your decor. There is also a selection of freestanding and inglenook stoves that are suited for DEFRA approval, so you will be able to find the ideal stove to fit your fireplace or inglenook.

You'll also be able to pick from a range of DEFRA stoves that can be multi-fuel so you can enjoy the flexibility of being able to burn a wide range of authorised fuels. Find the perfect DEFRA multi-fuel stove or wood burner for your home if you combine these features with a variety of colours and finishes.

We are proud to offer a wide variety of DefrA Wood Burners that have been independently tested by HETAS and meet the stringent DEFRA emission standards. They are able to be used legally in Smoke Control Areas. If you reside in an area that is classified as a Smoke Control Area, it is essential to purchase a DEFRA stove. Making use of an appliance that is not approved could result in being fined. You can determine whether you reside in a Smoke Control Area by visiting the DEFRA website or speaking to your local authority.

Smoke Exempt

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves have been subjected rigorous tests to ensure that they can be used within smoke-controlled areas. Bowland Stoves offers a range of DEFRA wood burning stoves that provide low emissions, clean combustion and the potential to save money. You can even choose from a variety of styles that suit your home's aesthetic.

affordable DEFRA stoves designate Smoke Control Areas to reduce smog levels in UK cities and towns. In the past, people used to burn whatever fuel they wanted in their homes. This led to heavy pollution in many areas and caused health issues for the residents. In the past, there was no law to regulate this, but we must follow the guidelines.

Defra regulations have been formulated to ensure public safety. They define the stoves that can be used in certain areas, and the types of fuels we can use. If you live in an area which is smoke-free you are only allowed to make use of the DEFRA approved stove and burn only authorised fuels such as coal, logs or pellets. If you purchase a non DEFRA stove and you use fuels that are not permitted that are not permitted, you could be punished as high as PS1000.

A Defra approved stove will provide the least amount of air needed for combustion which in turn results in the least amount of smoke emissions. This is the only way to ensure that you are able to legally burn wood and other approved fuels in a Smoke Control Area.

To be DEFRA approved, wood stoves and multi-fuel stoves must possess a moisture content of 20% or less to prevent excessive smoke. To attain this, wood must be properly seasoned. It is recommended to use wood from the Forestry Commission's"Woodsure Ready to Burn" scheme.

If you are buying the stove to be used in a Smoke Control Area, make sure that it has a Defra logo or a slash following its name. This means that the stove is smoke-free. The Defra logo is easily recognized and has been widely accepted in the industry.

In compliance with Building Regulations

If a stove that burns wood is DEFRA approved, this means that it has been rigorously tested and is in compliance with building regulations. This means that it is safe to use and that the flue system is properly installed. This prevents fire hazards and minimizes the indoor air pollution. This is particularly crucial for those who live in smoke control zones, where it is illegal to use non-approved fuels.

Our range of DEFRA stoves comes in various sizes and styles, to ensure you find the ideal stove for your home. We offer models that are modern and traditional with freestanding, inglenook and inset styles to match any style. Depending on your needs you can select a wood burner or a multi-fuel model. All DEFRA stoves have clean-burn technology, which means you can be confident that they'll burn your fuels efficiently and safely.

DEFRA stoves also comply with strict regulations for the emission of smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled. These regulations are designed to reduce the amount of particulate matter released into the atmosphere during combustion.

The most modern DEFRA wood-burning stoves are specifically designed specifically for this purpose, and feature advanced combustion systems that do not restrict airflow within the firebox. This allows the wood to be burnt faster and more thoroughly and reduces the release of particles into the air. In addition, DEFRA stoves are equipped with a secondary burn system which further reduces emissions by re-burning combustibles not yet burned that were emitted by the previous combustion process.

It is possible to install an appliance that does not conform to DEFRA regulations, however this will require significant modifications to your chimney and flue. This will require a structural change that could require planning permission. To avoid this, we suggest using a DEFRA approved stove when buying a new fireplace or wood-burning stove.

A DEFRA approved stove will also typically have a 5" (125mm) flue outlet. This means that you can choose 5" vitreous enamel flue liner, which will save you money on installation costs. This is a great option for those who are on a budget or where the chimney stack has some awkward bends to navigate.

Reduced Emissions

You will encounter many terms when searching for a wood-burning stove. The term DEFRA approved or DEFRA exempt stoves means that they can be used in smoke-controlled areas in the UK.

These stoves have been inspected to ensure they are compliant with UK smoking laws. They achieve this by incorporating the newest clean burn technology which uses secondary and tertiary combustion to produce cleaner air for your home. This can help reduce the use of fuel, since it is burned more efficiently.

The advanced technology used in DEFRA approved wood burning stoves is more environmentally friendly than older open fires or stoves. When used correctly, a wood burning stove is carbon neutral. This is because trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and then release it back into the air when they are burnt. They are therefore an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

The main issue when using a stove that burns wood is the emissions produced. The smoke that is generated by a wood-burning fireplace is a mixture of ultrafine particles known to cause serious health issues. These particulates can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing breathing difficulties, exacerbate asthma symptoms and leave you feeling unwell. They also increase the risk of cancer, heart disease and premature death.

The domestic wood burning industry is now the biggest source of PM2.5 pollution, producing three-times more pollution as road traffic. This is due to the fact that traditional wood stoves have outdated technologies that don't use modern clean burning technology to help with the production of PM2.5. This is why it's important to purchase a DEFRA exempt stove if you reside in a smoke controlled area, or even if you do not, as they are safer for the environment and your chimney.

At Bowland Stoves, we stock a wide selection of DEFRA approved stoves from top manufacturers like Arada, Stovax and Burley.
