Wood Burning Stoves DEFRA Approved
Stove Supermarket stocks a wide range of wood-burning stoves that are DEFRA approved. These include both multi-fuel and dedicated wood burners. These stoves can burn coal and wood and are less likely to release part-burned combustibles such as soot and ash into the atmosphere (this is called slumbering).
Defra Approved
A Defra approved stove or a DEFRA exempt stove as it's sometimes called, is a wood-burning or multi fuel stove that has met the strict emissions standards set by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). They are usually achieved by secondary and tertiary combustion systems which reduce the amount of smoke and particulates produced during the burning process.
If you reside in the UK city or large town that is classified as a smoke-control area in the UK, it is against the law to use wood for cooking without the use of a DEFRA approved stove. If you don't own an DEFRA approved stove and your local council has classified your home as a smoke controlled area then you could receive an imposing fine. If you're thinking of installing a wood burning stove in your home, a DEFRA-exempt stove is what you need.
You can choose from a range of Defra-approved models from our collection of multi-fuel stoves and wood burning stoves, regardless of whether you prefer a traditional design or a modern one. They all have an efficient and low emissions wood burners that have been tested and verified to meet the rigorous Defra standards.
Our Defra-approved stoves also feature clean burn technology, which reduces the amount of smoke produced and harmful pollutants that are released during the combustion process. This technology monitors the combustion process and adjusts the air supply so that the stove always performs optimally with the least emissions.
The primary benefit of having a wood burning stove that is DEFRA exempt is that it's far more eco-friendly and neighbor friendly. You can choose to use wood that has been dried and seasoned to prevent any unwanted smoke from entering your home. The chimney and flue will also remain cleaner for a longer time. This is especially beneficial for those living close to densely populated towns or cities that have smoke-free zones. However, the Defra approved stove is a good option for anyone, wherever they reside in the UK.
Smoke Exempt
Wood burning stoves are a clean, environmentally responsible method of heating your home. They are more cost-effective, have higher temperatures than open flames and emit 90 % less emissions. The environmental benefits of using locally sourced logs is even greater: the trees absorb carbon dioxide when they grow and release it back into the atmosphere after they are burned.
Defra Approved wood burning stoves
For those who live in smoke-free areas it is crucial to purchase an DEFRA exempt stove. These models are in compliance with strict regulations of the government in order to reduce the impact of air pollution. The stoves that are Defra-exempt can be identified with the DEFRA logo or identified by SE (smoke-exempt). They have passed a test created by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to ensure that they emit low levels of carbon dioxide.
A stove that is Defra-approved can burn other fuels besides wood, such as anthracite or peat. To avoid excessive smoke, you should only use dry, seasoned wood that has the moisture level of 20 percent or less. If you have a non-DEFRA stove, it can be made legally compliant with the DEFRA regulations by purchasing a manufacturer-approved kit. This kit modifies the air vents of the stove, which prevents the stove from being deprived of oxygen during the process of combustion. This is known as slumbering, and could result in the creation of smokey, dark odors.
The advantage of a Defra stove is that it is able to burn at more temperature than an open flame, meaning that less wood is needed to generate the same amount of heat. This means a lower carbon footprint, as well as saving you money on your energy costs. You can lessen your impact further on the environment by selecting a stove that is low carbon. This will aid in reducing the amount of fossil fuels on the planet. This kind of stove will last for many years and can provide significant energy savings when compared to an electric heater or open fire.
Clean Burn Technology
A wood burning stove equipped with clean burn technology ensures that it releases only a small amount of carbon dioxide during the combustion process. This reduces the amount of particles released into the air, which can be problematic for asthmatics, allergy sufferers, and others. This reduces the amount of ash that is produced which is another major cause of airborne-dust problems.
Clean wood stoves that burn cleanly, which are endorsed by Defra which is a Defra-approved organization, use pre-heated fuel that is fed directly into the firebox, where it mixes with the gas released by the fuel. This allows the unburned hydrocarbons to ignite before they are released directly through the chimney and into the air. Clean burn wood stoves are more eco-friendly than older models without this advanced technology.
Stoves that have been granted Defra approval can be especially useful for those who reside in a Smoke-Control Area where only approved multifuel stoves from DEFRA are permitted. DEFRA approved sustainable stoves are designed to release low levels of pollutants and are efficient in their combustion. They are also suitable for the burning of approved fuels including seasoned wood and smokeless coal.
Eco-friendly stoves are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners because of the numerous benefits. They offer a lower carbon footprint and savings on fuel. The DEFRA-approved wood burning stoves are able provide maximum energy output per kilo fuel due to their energy efficiency. This means that homeowners will enjoy significant financial savings over the course of a heating season. These wood burning stoves also have longer burn time, which means they use less fuel, further reducing costs.
Due to the growing demand for these appliances, manufacturers now provide a wide range of wood stoves that have been approved by Defra and Defra, which means there's something to suit every home and taste. However, it is worth noting that some manufacturers are misleading consumers by using the phrase "clean burn" using it to describe their products so that customers are deceived into thinking that the stoves are more eco-friendly than they actually are.
Eco-Friendly
A wood burner stove is not just a gorgeous addition to any house but it can also help you to be more sustainable. This is because using wood as a fuel source reduces carbon dioxide emissions significantly compared to other energy sources, such as gas and electricity. Wood-burning stoves also help to protect the environment by reducing the amount of waste products created such as creosote, dust and soot that are released into the air.
There are many ways to make your wood-burning stove more sustainable, but one way is to ensure that the wood you use are properly seasoned or kiln dried. This will reduce the moisture content and, consequently, the amount of smoke generated. Another option is to consider the efficiency rating of your wood-burning stove. A higher efficiency rating means that less wood is used to produce the exact same amount of heat. This is good for the environment as it means less wood will be cut and less trees are harvested.
