Defra Wood Stoves If you live in a zone of smoke control then you will require a DEFRA approved wood stove. These stoves will provide plenty of flames, heat and light while releasing hardly any smoke. Leading manufacturers like Arada, Parkray and Stovax have created a wide range of traditionally styled Defra stoves which come with the most modern clean burning technology. These stoves can be used to burn a variety of fuels, including smokeless coal. Efficient Combustion Defra wood stoves utilize the most advanced technology of combustion to ensure safe and efficient burning. They accomplish this by ensuring that the fire isn't being depleted of oxygen. This ensures that any combustibles which are not fully burned will not escape down the chimney into the atmosphere and cause pollution. These Defra approved wood stoves are also more suitable for your chimney and flue system as they emit less smoke than traditional stoves. This can help to keep them cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance costs and improving the performance of your stove. Defra wood stoves are a great choice for people who reside in UK Smoke Control Areas. They allow you to burn smokeless fuels and wood without violating the law. There are a range of sizes and heat outputs that can be used to fit different homes, so you will be able to find the ideal Defra approved wood stove for your home. It is important to remember that only Defra approved stoves are to be used in smoke controlled areas since they are approved to burn authorised wood and fuels. You may be penalized if you burn fuels that are not approved by the Defra in your stove that is Defra-approved. Stovax ST2 is a high performance Defra approved stove. This wood burning stove that is Defra-approved boasts an impressive ClearSkies score and an energy rating of A+. It was made with efficiency in mind, and has an internal air-to-fuel ratio of 1:1 and a low smoke emission rate of 0.26g/h. This stove is not only compliant with DEFRA emissions standards, but it has also been tested independently according to a strict SIA Ecodesign Ready Standard and is suitable for use in smoke-free areas. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed to reduce emissions and are 66% more efficient than old open fires and stoves. The best stoves that are Defra-approved are made from untreated, hard wood that is dry and has the moisture content to be below 20 percent. This will not only help to ensure that the stove is operating correctly, but also produce less smoke and improve the capacity of heating. Reduced Emissions Many of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means they have been regulated to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU permits. The Ecodesign regulations set higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's “clearSkies” scheme. The main advantage of a Defra approved stove is that it produces considerably less smoke than a non-certified stove. The reason is because they are designed to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is achieved by having a second, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This stops the stove from being lacking oxygen during the process of combustion and reduces the amount black smoke it releases. These modern stoves are also designed to produce less harmful particulate matter than earlier models. This is important as particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body, settling in the lungs and the heart. This can lead to serious health problems, including premature death. Despite the fact that these stoves produce much less harmful emissions than older models and emit less harmful pollutants, the EU still wants to cut down on pollution from all sources. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory problems. To achieve the new targets for air quality the government has released an initial draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require an increase in household fuel emissions, including wood stoves. In order to achieve this the goal, it will be more difficult to buy and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved by local authorities could be penalized up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. If you live in a region where smoke is controlled, it's crucial to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance. We offer a wide range of Defra Stoves including the Classic 5 Clean Burn Multi-Fuel Stove, which starts at PS420. All of stoves are suitable for smoke-controlled areas and are available in a variety of designs. Smoke Exempt A DEFRA stove is an engineered wood burner that has passed a series rigorous tests and examinations to ensure it abides by the regulations of the Department for Environment. They are designed to make use of fuel more efficiently by reducing harmful pollution. If you live in a smoke controlled zone, then you need a DEFRA approved stove is required. You can use approved fuels, such as multifuels and wood, which are restricted if you're not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that are DEFRA approved are often referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves. They are marked with the SE logo on their name or specifications. The Defra approved logo means the stove has been independently tested and has been shown to burn wood in a smoke control zone without generating excessive smoke. It's a sign that the manufacturer went above and beyond the regulations. Certain stoves have their top air control modified to stop the entire control from being shut. Shutting off the air supply to a stove can deprive it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and causes black smoke. Stoves that are Defra approved will typically allow you to use 5” flue liner with them when burning wood, however non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6” liner which is too large for a lot of UK chimneys. Another good reason to select a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more environmentally friendly than older models of woodburners or open fires. The latest stoves from the top manufacturers such as Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax feature secondary and tertiary combustion mechanisms to cut down their emissions, which can help to reduce their user's carbon footprint. Alongside offering a range of advantages, Defra stoves are available in a variety of styles that can fit into your home. Some are more striking than others, for instance the Aarrow A08E woodburner with its large heat output and large view window, while others are more subtle such as the minimal Farringdon stove from Aarrow. It is possible to fit a DEFRA woodburner into a recess, such as the Aarrow I400 cassette stove to create a sleek and elegant design in your living room. EPA Certification EPA certified stoves meet or exceed emissions levels as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that they have been tested and are designed to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere. They also generate more warmth and use less wood. These advantages make EPA-certified stoves a good option for those looking to save money on fuel while still enjoying the warm and cozy feeling of burning wooden. Stoves that are EPA certified could have a smaller chimney and will help you save on the installation cost. This is because they're engineered to burn more efficiently than other stoves. This efficiency also increases the heating capacity of your stove and save you money on fuel costs. The EPA certification requires that stoves are tested in accordance with strict rules and regulations set by the government. It also helps manufacturers to maintain their quality standards and ensure that their products are safe for consumers. www.fireplacesandstove.com that are EPA certified must emit low levels of nitrous dioxide and particulates, meaning they will not release harmful gases in the air. This is an enormous benefit for homeowners living in areas with smoke control regulations. If you reside in a smoke-free area, you can only burn specific types of fuel on your stove. Defra approved stoves have been modified to allow you to burn a variety of different fuels, including authorized smokeless fuels. These fuels are typically briquettes or other dry, readily available substances that do not generate excessive amounts of smoke. When you buy a stove that is exempt from defra is usually with a specific top air vent that limits how much the stove will be depleted of oxygen during combustion. This is due to the fact that too little oxygen can cause the stove to smoke and emit black smoke into your home. The top air vent on stoves that are exempt from Defra is designed to stop the stove from closing all the way. Defra stoves are becoming more popular due to their ability to provide a warm and cozy home, while reducing amount of smoke in the air. They are also easy to install and can be used in homes with standard flue systems, as long as you have a 6-” flue liner.
