Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas

Many people believe that living in a smoke control zone means they cannot use a wood burning fireplace. It's not the case. Most cities and large towns fall under a smoke control zone however that doesn't mean you can't use a wooden burning stove. It's simply that they have to burn approved fuels in their stove (usually briquettes). The Defra-approved stove is a wood-burning stove that has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it is in compliance with certain requirements in regards to the emissions it emits when burning approved materials. It can therefore be legally used in a smoke control area.

The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and a lot of stoves feature the SE after their names to indicate they are smoke-free. To be SE approved the stove must meet strict emission criteria. This means you can rest assured that you are purchasing the top wood stove available.

If you are looking for a wood burning stove that is Defra exempt or has SE after its name, you will often find that the manufacturer has done things like making sure there are enough air intakes on the front of the stove to permit full combustion of the fuel, and that the chimney outlet size is sufficient to prevent the build-up of soot. This is important as it helps to ensure that the smoke from the stove doesn't escape through the chimney into your home.

A stove that is Defra-approved permits you to install a 5" liner that is in compliance with UK building regulations. Non-Defra-approved stoves require an 6" liner.

The stove has to be used with a solid fuel, which means wood, and preferably well-seasoned. They are inspected by the government to ensure that they don't generate excessive levels of smoke. They can be used with approved fuels (coal only).

The difference between a DEFRA approved stove and one that is not is usually very little. With a kit from the manufacturer, a lot of modern stoves can be easily converted to DEFRA certified in a matter of only a few minutes. This is because Defra approved appliances must pass very strict tests and defra stoves ratings are restricted in the amount of smoke they are able to produce.

To ensure that the restrictions are kept the stove has to be able limit its combustion air to ensure that it doesn't deprive itself of oxygen, which could cause it to smolder. This is achieved by a mechanism that opens the air in the firebox when it's burning. It is typically hidden inside the stove or underneath the base of its firebox.

Stove World UK has a wide range of DEFRA approved stoves from some of the best brands in the country including Stovax Arada and Burley. They are available in a wide range of styles and finishes.

The older wood stoves can release a lot of particulate matter into the atmosphere that can trigger or contribute to respiratory issues, asthma attacks, heart problems and premature death. It is therefore important to purchase a stove that meets strict emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency. Look for the "EPA 2020 Certified Label" which means that the stove has met the emission limits that are currently in place.

If you purchase an appliance that isn't EPA certified and you live in a smoke control area you must have it recertified before you can use it. It's costly and time-consuming, but the law requires it. Homeowners who sell a home with wood stoves that are not certified may be liable for tax credits or fines related to pollution-free air.

Most modern stoves can be upgraded to be Defra approved with an adjustment kit or a kit that the installer provides. This is because the main difference between the DEFRA approved stove and one that aren't is the combustion air management system that regulates how much air flows through the stove in normal operation. The modification will usually be located on the bottom of the firebox or within the base.

Some manufacturers produce two versions of their wood stoves, one that is Defra approved and the other not. The reason is that the cost of putting a stove through the rigorous defra exempt stoves testing is high. To offset the costs, they sell the non approved version at a lower cost. The DEFRA-approved version will have undergone the combustion air modification in the course of the test process.

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes were able to burn any fuel they wanted to, leading to large amounts of smoke emissions. This led to health issues. To stop this, Defra established Smoke Control Areas. This meant that residential homes could not emit smoke in the event that their wood burners or multifuel stoves were approved by premium DEFRA stoves for burning only approved substances like manufactured smokeless coke and anthracite.

Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been subjected to rigorous testing to prove that they can efficiently burn fuels that are approved within a Smoke Control Area. The most modern combustion technology allows an indefinite amount of secondary air into the firebox. This allows the stove to meet Defra regulations for Smoke Control Areas even when it is used with approved fuels like anthracite as well as manufactured smokeless coals.

If you're looking for an all-new wood burning stove and are in an area that has a Smoke Control Area then we would recommend that you take a look at the selection of DEFRA Stoves Ratings approved stoves that are available at The Stove Yard. We offer a variety of Defra-approved stoves. These include traditional modern, contemporary and inset models, from leading manufacturers like Stovax. Arada, Burley, and AGA.

They typically have an aesthetically different grate and air vents and on gas models, they might have a slightly smaller flue outlet.

nrg-5kw-eco-design-stove-multifuel-cast-iron-fireplace-portable-defra-approved-325.jpgA Defra Approved Stove will almost always have five" flue outlet (125mm). This means you can use a smaller stainless steel twin wall flexible liner that is less expensive than a 6" (150mm). We've seen this helpful when customers have an older or non-standard chimney stack that we are installing the Defra approved wood burning stove in to and it reduces the cost of relining the chimney with a wider diameter liner.
