What is a Stove Defra?

Stove defra refers to the wood-burning stove or multi-fuel that has been approved for use in areas that have smoke control. This is legally required in some UK cities and large towns.

They provide the smallest amount of combustion air, thereby producing very little smoke. These stoves come in a wide range of styles and designs that complement your home's style.

Clean Burning

In the past homeowners and businesses were permitted to burn whatever fuel they wanted, which led to a large amount of smoke polluting the atmosphere. This led to a lot of health issues in the affected regions. In the UK several towns and cities have been designated as Smoke Control Areas (or Smokeless Zones) and it is prohibited to burn wood without a DEFRA-approved SE-approved stove.

These DEFRA stoves are manufactured and designed in accordance with specific regulations for use in these zones. The air vents are typically not completely shut and prevent the stove from being depriving of oxygen during the combustion. This reduces the amount particulate matter released into the air. They also have advanced combustion systems like secondary and tertiary burning that can reduce emissions further.

Stoves that have been certified by Defra can be used with other fuels, such as anthracite. This gives you more options when it comes to heating your home. If you reside in a region that is under Smoke Control, it is advised to burn only "ready to burn", dry wood logs. Not only will this minimise the amount of air pollution that is produced however, it will also help to keep your chimney and flue system cleaner for a longer time.

There have been a lot of scaremongering headlines recently in relation to the effect that stoves can have on the quality of air. Some of these reports have incorrectly lumped together the emissions from modern stoves with older stoves, open-fires and other kinds of equipment and fuels used in the home. Modern stoves, like ones that are Defra-approved or Ecodesign have lower emissions than any other heating method. They also play an important part in keeping the indoor air healthy.

Low Emissions

There are a lot of misconceptions about the use of wood burning stoves and their relation to air pollution. Wood burning stoves aren't responsible for the majority of UK small particulate matters. This is a popular myth. In fact the combustion of domestic wood and solid fuels account for less than one third of the PM.2.5 in Britain. This is based on research carried out by the government, which used faulty data to estimate the contribution of wood stoves, while more recent research by the SIA and other organisations shows that this figure is closer to 13%.

If you live in an area under smoke control, it is important to use a DEFRA approved log burner or stove. These appliances have been tested to ensure they meet emission standards designed to reduce pollution to the air.

A DEFRA approved stove also meets the EU Ecodesign regulations that will come into the market in 2022. These new requirements will reduce the amount of smoke stoves emit during the combustion process. Many Defra exempt stoves are now being made to meet these new guidelines, and the SIA suggests installing an Ecodesign Ready stove rather than an Defra Exempt appliance as the particulate emission limit is 55% lower for Ecodesign Ready appliances.
