Defra Approved Multifuel Stoves

Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are a great option for those living in areas that are smoke-free. They are very safe and can burn wood or authorised smokeless fuels.

The Defra Logo is usually displayed on the appliance or in its specification to show that it is suitable to create Smoke Control Areas. These appliances also have a high energy rating with low emissions.

Clean Burn Technology

We offer a variety of wood-burning stoves that are Defra-approved. This means they meet the strictest emission standards when used with wood or other approved fuels. This is because these stoves are designed to use a range of different fuels and have been tested by an independent lab to ensure they don't create excessive smoke. Additionally, a Defra approved stove has features such as secondary and tertiary combustion that help to maximise the amount of energy produced by the combustion process and reduce harmful gasses.

Multifuel stoves that have been approved by Defra will often have a 'SE' logo or SE (which is a reference to smoke exempt) after their name, which signifies that the stove has been independently tested to show it is able to be used legally in Smoke Control Area with logs and other approved solid fuels. The process of testing will comprise an array of tests to test the stove's performance over various conditions and to verify that the stove can produce five grams of particulates per kilogram when burning wood.

To meet the requirements of this standard, stoves that are Defra-approved have an altered top air control that prevents users from closing the top vent completely. If you close the top vent too much will decrease the flow of oxygen to the fire, causing it to smoulder instead of burn. If you did this on the use of a non Defra approved stove, you would be breaking the law and could be prosecuted for infractions of nuisance smoking.

To avoid the smoke, buy wood that has been kiln dried or seasoned. This wood has been dried for many years and reduces the moisture content below 20%. A simple wood moisture meter can be used to test the amount of moisture in your wood.

You can cut down on the amount of nuisance smoke generated by a Defra-approved stove by using only dry, well-seasoned logs that have been burned or kiln dried. It is not recommended to burn damp, wet, or unseasoned wood. This can create an increase in smoke and you could be fined by the local authority.

Smoke Control Area Approval

DEFRA approved stoves are compliant with the strict standards for air quality set by the government. These stoves can use different fuels that include wood, as well as certain 'authorised' smokeless materials in Smoke Control Areas.

The smoke that is produced by burning untreated wood or other wet fuels in a stove which isn't DEFRA approved or exempt from DEFRA will annoy your neighbours. It can also cause problems with local air quality particularly if you live in an urban zone. If you are located in a Smoke Control Area and burn unauthorised fuels or an appliance not intended to be used with approved smokeless fuels, you could be charged with a fine or be prosecuted.

Defra approved stoves are made with secondary and tertiary systems of combustion that help to burn fuel at lower temperatures which, in turn, produces less particulate matter (PM2.5). This is done by using stainless steel liners, and a convection system which forces air down the chimney after the fire is put out. This allows the stoves to burn wood more efficiently and generate less emissions.

A Defra Approved Stove will also include an adjustment for the top air vent, which prevents the stove from closing to the fullest extent. If you shut off the air supply to a stove it stops burning properly and DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves begins to smolder and produce a lot of smoke. Defra approved stoves will permit you to shut the vent a little but not all the way so that the fire can continue to burn at the lower temperature and comply with the UK regulations.
