Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stoves The most modern multi-fuel stoves are approved by defra and blend the latest technology in clean burning with traditional designs. Features include airwash systems that are preheated secondary and tertiary combustion as well as the capability to burn wood or authorised smokeless fuels. The UK government requires homes in Smoke Control Areas to only make use of exempt appliances and approved fuels. Stove Supermarket offers a range of defra exempt stoves that are in compliance with the regulations. Clean Burning Defra approved multi fuel stoves have passed strict tests to ensure they produce low emissions which allows you to burn smokeless fuels in the smoke control zone. Many of these stoves also HETAS certified and come with a clearSkies certification rating that means they meet the strictest emission regulations. These stoves are constructed with Clean Burn Technology to ensure that the wood is never cut off from oxygen, which would cause it to smoulder or emit black smoke. This permits the stove to maintain a low amount of combustion until the fuel has been used up. A defra-exempt stove will often have a secondary airflow system that ensures that the solid fuel and briquettes are burnt in a controlled way, reducing harmful gases and particles. You'll be able to purchase a wide range of different designs of defra-approved multi fuel stoves. There are many traditional and contemporary designs available. These stoves are ideal for installation inside a fireplace chamber or an inglenook. A lot of these models are manufactured by top brands like Arada, Stovax, Burley and Parkray and come with the most recent in clean burning stove technology. They feature high efficiency heating as well as secondary and tertiary combustion systems that remove smoke particles prior to being drawn up the chimney. No matter if you reside in a zone of smoke control or not, an Defra approved log burner can be the ideal addition to your home. They can be used with either natural wood or solid fuel that is smokeless. You can easily switch between the two by using the reversible control on your stove. This provides flexibility and versatility, and allows you to use your stove all the all year. To comply with building codes, a defra-exempt stove must be installed by a qualified installer. This installer can verify that the appliance complies with current regulations and is suitable for use on a regular basis. At Choice Stoves, we have a team of HETAS approved installers who can fit your new stove safely and properly, ensuring you comply with the government's smoke emission regulations. Low Emission Vehicles The UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs manages regulations and policies that concern the natural environment, agriculture, food issues and much more. Smoke control is one of the main areas they oversee. This includes the ban of dark smoke coming from chimneys within urban areas. If you live in a city or large town – also called a smoke controlled area – you'll require an DEFRA approved stove to burn wood and other solid fuels legally, and avoid upsetting your neighbours with fumes that cause nuisance to others. DEFRA stoves are designed to pass strict emissions tests and reduce their emissions and are therefore more environmentally more eco-friendly than older models. DEFRA multifuels stoves are more efficient and conform to environmental standards better than open fires or wood burners. This means you can heat a room faster and emit less harmful gases into the atmosphere, thus decreasing carbon footprint. Check for the DEFRA-approved logo when you are shopping for a wood or multifuel stove. This will be displayed in the stove's name or specification. It will usually be followed by a 'SE', which stands for Smoke Exempt. If you notice this then you can be confident that the stove has passed the rigorous DEFRA tests and is suitable for use in a smoke-control area when burning authorised fuels. Many people assume that a DEFRA approved multi fuel stove can only be able to be used with authorised smokeless fuels, like firelogs and briquettes. This isn't entirely true. As long as you adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and only burn approved fuels, you are able to burn any solid fuel in an approved DEFRA stove, including wood that is seasoned. To get the best results from your DEFRA multifuel stove, you will have to ensure that you only use dry, seasoned wood with less than 20 percent. Wet wood can cause excessive smoke, which could void the warranty. Similarly, mineral fuels should contain a sulphur content of less than 2% to avoid excessively thick ash deposits. Versatility There's a broad range of styles available with designs ranging from traditional that are perfect for an existing fireplace or inglenook to contemporary stoves that are ideal for homes that don't have a pre-installed fire surround. A lot of Defra approved multi fuel stoves also have the option of incorporating multi fuel grates, which means that you can burn wood and smokeless coal in addition to logs giving you even more heating options. If you intend to use your stove as a slumber burner (overnight) then a Defra approved wood burner will not be suitable since it requires a continuous air supply. Convenience If you reside in a smoke-control zone, the use of a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove is essential. These stoves let you burn wood or smokeless fuel and they are designed to allow this to happen without releasing any pollutant into the atmosphere. A Defra-approved stove will help you comply with local laws and avoid costly penalties. Defra approved stoves use the most advanced combustion technology to efficiently burn wood and other approved solid fuels. They accomplish this by delivering the proper amount of air into the firebox, thereby preventing fuel being starved of oxygen. This stops combustibles that have been partially burned, such as soot and ash from traveling through the chimney and into the room. This reduces the chance of a blocked fireplace and is also good for the environment.
