What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in a region where smoke is controlled, it's crucial to purchase a DEFRA stoves near me-exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove allows you to burn wood legally in a smoke-controlled zone.

They are independently tested to provide the lowest emissions. Stoves with this status are usually branded with the 'Defra approved' logo on their name or specification.

Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas

Many people believe that living in a smoke controlled zone means they cannot use a fireplace with wood. This isn't the case. Most cities and large towns fall under the smoke control zone, however, that doesn't mean that they can't use a wood burning stove. It's simply that they need to burn authorised fuels in their stove (usually Briquettes). The Defra approved stove is a type of wood burning stove that has been tested to ensure that it meets certain requirements regarding the emissions it emits when burning authorised fuels, and therefore, it can be used legally in smoke control Area.

The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and many stoves are marked with the SE after their names to indicate that they are smoke-free. To be SE approved the stove must meet strict emission criteria. This means that you can be confident you're buying the best wood stove that is available.

If you search for a stove that burns wood that is Defra exempt or has SE after its name, you'll usually discover that the manufacturer has taken care of things like making sure there are enough air inlets on the front of the stove to permit full combustion of the fuel, and that the chimney outlet is large enough to prevent soot build-up. This is important because it helps to ensure that the smoke from the stove does not escape through the chimney into your home.

Another benefit of an Defra approved stove is that it generally allows you to fit it with five" chimney liner, which will comply with the UK building regulations, whilst 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 installed inside a smoke-control zone is one that is a DEFRA endorsed stoves approved wood burner, which is also known by the designation DEFRA exempt. This stove should be used for solid fuel, which is wood, preferably well-seasoned. The government tests them to ensure they don't produce excessive smoke and that they can be used only with fuels that are 'authorized.

The difference between the difference between a DEFRA approved stove and one that isn't is usually very little. With a kit provided by the manufacturer, a lot of modern stoves can be easily transformed into DEFRA compliant in only a few minutes. This is because a Defra approved stove must undergo rigorous testing and must be restricted in the amount of smoke it can generate.

To ensure that these restrictions are not violated during testing, the stove must be capable of limiting its combustion air supply so that it does not exhaust itself of oxygen, which may cause it to smoulder. This is accomplished through a mechanism within the stove that allows a small amount of air into the firebox during the process of combustion, which is often hidden inside the stove, and under the base of the firebox.

Stove World UK offers a large selection of DEFRA approved stoves from some of the country's best manufacturers, including Stovax, Arada and Burley.

Many older wood stoves emit large amounts of particulate matter. This can trigger or exacerbate asthma attacks, respiratory issues and heart issues. Therefore, it is essential to buy a wood stove that is in compliance with strict emission standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. Look for a "EPA 2020 Certified" label, which means that the stove has met the emissions limits currently in place.

If you purchase a stove that is not EPA certified and you live in a zone of smoke control it is necessary to get it recertified before you can use it. It's expensive and time-consuming, however the law requires it. In addition, homeowners who sell a home with a wood stove that isn't certified may be liable for clean air tax credits and fines.

The majority of modern stoves can be upgraded to become Defra approved by an adjustment kit or kit that the installer offers. This is because the main difference between the DEFRA approved stove and those which aren't, is the combustion air management system which regulates the amount of air that passes through the stove in normal operation. Modifications are usually applied to the base or the underside of a stove's firebox.

Some manufacturers produce two versions of their wood stoves one that is Defra approved and the other that is not. This is due to the process of placing a stove through rigorous Defra tests can be very costly, so to help recoup some of the costs, they'll offer the non-approved version at a cheaper price. The DEFRA approved version will have had the combustion air modification performed as part of the testing procedure.

Approved for Gas

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes could burn any fuel they wanted to, leading to excessive smoke emissions. This could cause health problems. To prevent this, Defra established Smoke Control Areas. This meant that homes could not produce any smoke except if their wood burners and multifuel stoves were approved by Defra for burning only authorised materials like manufactured smokeless coke and anthracite.

Defra approved stoves, also referred to as SE (Smoke Exempt) Stoves, have been subjected to rigorous testing to demonstrate that they are able to burn cleanly approved fuels in a Smoke Control Area. The most modern combustion technology allows an indefinite amount of secondary air into the firebox. This lets the stove comply with Defra standards for Smoke Control Areas even when it is used with approved fuels like anthracite and manufactured smokeless coals.

In general, they have a different grate design and air vents, and on the gas versions they might also have a different sized flue outlet.
