What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in a zone of smoke control it is essential to buy a DEFRA exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt stove (or recommended DEFRA stoves SE) permits you to legally burn wood in a smoke-controlled area.

The stoves are tested independently to ensure the lowest emissions possible. Stoves that have this status are usually branded with the 'Defra approved' logo on their name or the specifications.

Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas

Many people think that living in a Smoke Control Area means you can't have a wood burning stove however this isn't true. The majority of towns and cities are in a smoke control zone, however, that doesn't mean that they can't use a wood burning stove. It's just that they must burn authorised fuels in their stove (usually brquettes). The Defra approved stove is a specific type of wood burning stove that has been inspected to ensure it meets certain standards in regards to the emissions that it produces when burning authorised fuels, and therefore, it can be used legally in a Smoke Control Area.

The Defra logo is widely adopted in the industry and many of the stoves that are approved bear SE after their name which means they are smoke exempt. To be able to be SE approved it must meet strict criteria in regards to emissions, so you can be assured that if you choose a defra exempt stove you will get the most clean and most efficient wood stove on the market.

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

Another benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it usually permits you to use it with five" chimney liner, which will comply with the UK building regulations. However, stoves that are not Defra approved will need to be fitted with a larger 6" liner.

Approved for Smokeless fuels

The only stove that can be put in inside a smoke-control zone is one that is a DEFRA approved wood burner, which is also known by the name DEFRA exempt. This stove must be used for solid fuel, that is wood, and preferably well-seasoned. The government tests them to ensure they don't produce excessive smoke and that they can only be used with 'authorized' fuels.

The distinction between a stove that is DEFRA approved and one that isn't approved is usually very small. With a kit from the manufacturer, many modern stoves can be transformed into DEFRA compliant in only a few minutes. This is because a Defra approved stove has to undergo rigorous testing and must be restricted to the amount of smoke it can generate.

To ensure that the restrictions are not violated, the stove must be able limit its combustion air to ensure that it doesn't deprive itself of oxygen, which could cause it smoulder. This is accomplished through an opening mechanism that lets the air in the firebox while it is burning. It is typically hidden inside the stove or underneath the base of the firebox.

Stove World UK has a wide range of DEFRA approved stoves, from some of the best manufacturers in the world, including Stovax Arada and Burley.

Smoke Control Zones are located predominantly in large towns and cities. You can check the website of your local authority to find out whether you are in one of these. It is essential to buy a DEFRA-approved stove if you reside in a smoke-controlled zone. This will allow you to avoid being fined by your local authority. This is because if you use 'unauthorised' fuel in a non-approved stove, for example coal or any other solid fuels and you are fined up to PS300.

Approved for wood

A DEFRA approved stove, also referred to as a smoke exempt wood stove, is a device that can be used to burn wood in smoke Control Area. The stove will be stamped with the Defra approved logo or have the word "SE" after its name, meaning it is able to be used in smoke-controlled areas that burn approved fuels which is in this case wood.

The older wood stoves can release a lot of particulate matter into the atmosphere, which can cause or contribute to respiratory issues asthma attacks, heart problems and premature death. It is therefore essential to buy a wood stove that meets strict emission standards as set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Look for an "EPA 2020 Certified" label, which signifies that the stove is in compliance with the emissions limits that are now in place.

If you purchase an appliance that isn't EPA certified and you reside in a smoke-free zone you must be able to get it certified before you can use it. It's time-consuming and expensive, but the law requires it. Additionally homeowners who sell a home that has a wood stove that is not certified could be liable for clean air tax credits and fines.

The majority of modern stoves can be upgraded to become Defra approved with an adjustment kit or kit that the installer provides. This is because the primary difference between a DEFRA approved stove and those which aren't, is the combustion air management system that regulates how much air flows through the stove in normal operation. The modifications are usually located on the bottom of the firebox or within the base.

Certain manufacturers make two different versions of a wood stove: one that is Defra-approved, and the other is not. This is because the process of putting a stove through the rigorous Recommended Defra Stoves tests is expensive in order to recover some of this expense they'll offer the non-approved version at a cheaper price. The DEFRA-approved version will have undergone the combustion air modification in the course of the test process.

Gas Approved

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes were able to burn any fuel they wanted to, resulting in excessive smoke emissions. This caused health problems. To stop this, Defra created Smoke Control Areas which meant that homes in residential areas couldn't emit any smoke from their multifuel stoves or wood burners unless the appliance was Defra certified to burn only authorised fuels such as manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite.

Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests to demonstrate that they can efficiently burn fuels that are approved in a Smoke Control Zone. The latest combustion technology delivers an unabated minimum of secondary air into the firebox. This lets the stove comply with Defra regulations for Smoke Control Areas even when it is used with approved fuels like anthracite as well as manufactured smokeless coals.

The Stove Yard has a large selection of Defra-approved stoves that are ideal for those who reside in a smoke-free zone and require a brand new wood burning fireplace. We offer a variety of stoves that are Defra-approved, including traditional, contemporary and inset models that are made by top DEFRA stoves manufacturers such as Stovax. Arada, Burley, and AGA.

The good news is there is no difference in appearance between a Defra-approved woodburning stove and a non-approved model. However the stoves that are approved by Defra have a few features that are designed to help them burn cleaner. They generally have a different design of grate and air vents and on gas stoves they might also have an outlet for the flue that is different in size.

Another benefit of the Defra Approved stove is that they will almost always come with a 5" (125mm) flue outlet which means that you can use a smaller stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner, which is less expensive than the standard 6" (150mm) liner. This is useful when installing a Defra-approved wood burning stove into an old or nonstandard chimney stack. It can save money on replacing a bigger diameter chimney liner.
