What is a Defra Log Burner?

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) regulates the emissions of smoke from wood burning stoves. They have rules in place that prohibit chimney smoke in Smoke Control Areas in the absence of an exempt appliance or authorised fuel.

The new rules limit the amount of smoke that a stove can emit to 3g/hour and homeowners face hefty penalties on-the-spot if they do not comply. To avoid this, you must make sure you use Defra approved log burners and only use kiln dried wood with the "Ready to Burn" mark.

Stoves that are Defra Approved have to be tested by the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to ensure that they comply with strict emission standards. These tests are designed to test stoves that generate maximum heat while generating extremely low levels of smoke emissions. They typically achieve this by ensuring that combustion gases are re-burned during the secondary burn. This is important as it allows the combustion to continue in a controlled manner while reducing the amount combustibles released into the atmosphere.

DEFRA exempted stoves are environmentally friendly as they reduce the amount of part-burned combustibles thrown down the chimney. Unlike some stoves that need to close the air vents in order to allow them to sleep over the night, Defra exempt stoves always keep their flue open meaning they are much less likely to release part-burnt combustibles down the chimney, where they could block it.

Defra approved stoves have had their combustion air system modified to restrict the amount of oxygen that can reach the wood burning process. This is accomplished by altering the air vent on top. This means that the stove will allow a little air to pass through even if you shut the vent completely. This prevents the firewood from burning and preventing it from being starved for air.
