Multi-Fuel DEFRA Approved Stoves

A multi-fuel DEFRA approved stove allows you to legally burn wood and some smokeless fuels in the UK Smoke Control Area. They typically come with a continuous supply secondary combustion air to stop the fuel from burning and releasing smoke that is a nuisance.

A Defra Stove (sometimes called a DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance) has been tested for emissions levels and has passed the UK Government Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Criteria.

Smoke Control Areas

The smoke produced from open fires and stoves in the UK can contribute to air pollution, especially in urban areas. Smoke Control Areas have been created where only certain types of fuels and home fire appliances can be used. They are strictly regulated by the Clean Air Act to reduce environmental pollution. If you live in a Smoke-Control Area, it is important to use only wood-burning stoves or log burners approved by Defra. This ensures you are burning legal fuel and are not causing nuisance smoke that upsets your neighbours.

Many of the Stovax multi-fuel and wood burning DEFRA approved stoves come with secondary and tertiary combustion systems which help you make your logs burn more efficiently, this in turn helps to reduce emissions. This allows you to have a gorgeous fire, but also produce less smoke.

A Defra approved stove or to confer the full title of Smoke Exempt Appliance has been tested and cleared the UK Government's DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) law regarding the amount of smoke in Smoke Control Areas. This means that the stove only produces tiny amounts of smoke when it is in normal operation. This means that you can burn specific types of wood in your stove so long as it's "ready to burn firewood' and has an moisture level of less than 20 percent. You are not able to burn damp, wet or spruced wood in an DEFRA approved stove as it will produce nuisance smoke that violates the laws of the Clean Air Act.

There are a variety of traditional and modern Defra stoves to choose from. You should also think about the kind of fuel you will be burning. Certain Defra approved stoves can only be used with wood and do not offer the option of a multi-fuel burner.

If you wish to burn anthracite or smokeless coal or other fuels approved by Defra in your stove, you will require a smoke-control kit. This can be fitted on appliances that are not exempt from Defra. The Stovax shop offers a range of smoke control kits that are compatible with most non-Defra approved stoves.

Coal

These plants sank into the water when they died and then formed peat as they grew. This then buried under layers of rock and other substances until it was compressed into solid coal.

When coal is burnt, it releases a lot of energy as heat and sulphur dioxide that can cause pollution of the air. Sulphur dioxide is among the main contributors to acid rain. It can damage the ecosystem of rivers, lakes, wildlife, and crops. Many countries including the United States, have banned the use of coal due to the risk of acid rain.

While coal produces many pollutants, it is still a significant element of the heating industry. It is the most sought-after fossil fuel, and it has a lower cost than other fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil. Coal is a fuel which is highly efficient in energy use and produces a significant amount of heat per pound.

A DEFRA exempted wood-burning, or DEFRA approved, stove can be used to cook authorised fuels such as briquettes and coke in areas that are smoke-free.
