The Top Reasons People Succeed In The Defra Stove Industry
Choosing a Defra Approved Or Smoke Exempt Stove

If you live in an area that is smoke controlled and you want to choose a DEFRA Approved stove or a smoke-free stove is important. Not only do they conform with building regulations but they also ensure that you are legally able to burn wood and multi fuel in your home.

Stove manufacturers are constantly improving their products, by adding secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions.

Defra Approved

If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled and requires a defra-approved stove. The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has passed laws that prohibit the emission of dark smoke in areas controlled by smoke which includes the majority of large towns and cities. The stoves that are Defra approved have been subject to rigorous testing and examination to ensure that they conform to this law. They are specifically designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce significantly fewer pollutant emissions. They are a better option for your family and friends as the smoke levels will be kept to an acceptable level. Stoves that are Defra Approved will also feature the logo and the words defra exempt or SE (smoke exempt) in their title and specifications.

The majority of wood burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell are Defra-approved. This is because we strive to source the highest quality products and we hope that our customers will be able to get the most benefit from their stove. Defra Approved stoves have a higher efficiency than non-approved models. This means that they will create much less particulate matter. This reduces the amount dark smoke produced. Defra approved stoves also have a more robust firebox, which is another way in which they can help to reduce smoke emissions.

Defra approved appliances will not just reduce the amount of smoke produced but also ensure the combustion air remains constant throughout the entire burning process. This will stop the stove from being starved of oxygen, which causes it to smolder and emit dark smoke. Most stove manufacturers now build Defra Approved models into their product range as they are becoming increasingly well-known.

Defra approved stoves are not only a great choice for those who live in smoke control areas, but they are a great choice for anyone who wishes to improve the efficiency and safety of their fireplace, and also reduce the amount of toxic substances released into the atmosphere. They are also an excellent option for people who are considering having their chimney lined with a stainless steel twin wall flexible liner. As most Defra approved models have 5" outlet, this allows them to be used with a 125mm liner instead of the standard 6" outlet, which can reduce the cost of the liner and installation.

Some people choose to slumber the stove overnight by closing the top vent and let it burn slowly. This can result in a buildup of soot and other tars that can block your chimney. A Defra-approved stove will not allow you to shut down the top vent completely as this could cause the fire to cease. It is also less likely that combustibles that have not burned will be released into the air. This is better for the atmosphere and less likely to cause your chimney to become blocked.

Defra Exempt

If you're looking for an electric stove that burns wood, you will often come across the term Defra Exempt or DEFRA Approved. This usually refers to a wood-burning or multi-fuel stove that is approved to be used in a smoke-free area.

These appliances typically achieve this status by undergoing rigorous testing and inspection to ensure that they are operating at very low emission levels. This is accomplished by using secondary combustion, whereby waste products from the burning process are burned again to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the air. This means that DEFRA Approved stoves the ideal choice for those living in a zone that is smoke-free and want to ensure that they are using a device that is safe to use.

Defra stoves that are exempt from a permit are typically marked with an SE logo or labeled DEFRA Stove. This means that the stove has passed a test designed by the UK government's Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) to prove that it produces very little smoke when properly used. This is the reason Defra wood-burning stoves are the only ones that are legal to install in Smoke Controlled Areas.

A Defra approved wood-burning stove can also help keep your flue and chimney cleaner since they are engineered to burn wood much more cleanly than other types of stoves. This is because of an advanced combustion process that allows airflow into the firebox.


Additionally, Defra approved wood burning stoves are generally built to be energy efficient. This is achieved by using the most recent technologies to ensure that the maximum amount of heat is absorbed from the fuel, and transferred to your room. You will also be able to enjoy lower heating expenses as well as more secure, cleaner and more environmentally friendly home.

There's a variety of options for a Defra Approved Stove terms style size, dimension and fuel type. Some will only be Defra approved for burning wood, while others are also Defra approved to burn smoking coal that is authorised. You'll also find that there are both modern and traditional style Defra approved stoves to choose from, so you'll be sure to find the perfect option to fit in with your decor.
