What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's essential to purchase a DEFRA endorsed stoves-exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove allows you to legally burn wood in a smoke-controlled zone.

The stoves are independently tested to ensure the lowest possible emissions. Stoves that are certified 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 area means they can't make use of a fireplace that burns wood. It's not the case. In reality, most cities and towns are located in a smoke-free zone, but this doesn't mean you cannot have a stove, it just means that you must use an exempt appliance and only use authorised fuels (usually brquettes) in your stove. The Defra-approved stove is a wood-burning stove that has been rigorously tested to ensure that it is in compliance with certain requirements in terms of the emissions it generates when burning authorised fuels. This means it can be used legally in a smoke control area.

The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and many stoves have the SE after their names to indicate that they are smoke-free. To be able to be SE approved, it must satisfy strict criteria in regards to its emissions, so you can be sure that if you select a defra exempt stove you will get the most clean and most efficient wood stove available.

If you are searching for a stove that burns wood that is Defra-exempt, or has SE after its title You will see that the manufacturer may have done things like ensure that there are sufficient air intakes on the front of stove to ensure that there is a full combustion of fuel and that the size of the chimney outlet is adequate to prevent accumulation of soot. This is crucial because it ensures that smoke from the wood burning stove doesn't escape through the chimney into your home.

The government tests them to ensure they don't produce excessive smoke and are only suitable for use with fuels that are 'authorized.

The difference between the difference between a DEFRA approved stove and one that is not can be very minimal. With a kit from the manufacturer, many contemporary stoves can be easily converted to DEFRA certified in a matter of minutes. This is because the Defra approved stove has to undergo very rigorous tests and is limited to the amount of smoke it can generate.

To ensure that these restrictions are maintained during testing the stove will have to be capable of limiting the combustion air supply to ensure that it does not exhaust itself of oxygen, which could cause it to smoke. This is done by a mechanism inside the stove that allows the air into the firebox during combustion, which is usually hidden within the stove and underneath the base of the fire box.

A lot of older wood stoves release large amounts of particulate matter into the air, which can cause or contribute to respiratory problems, asthma attacks, heart issues and premature death. This is why it is important to purchase an updated wood stove that is compliant with the strict emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Look for the "EPA 2020 Certified Label" which indicates that the stove has met the emission limits currently in place.

If you purchase a cooktop that isn't EPA-certified and you reside in a smoking zone it is necessary to renew the certification before you can use the stove. It's expensive and time-consuming, however the law requires it. Additionally, homeowners who sell a home with an uncertified wood stove could be subject to clean air tax credits as well as fines.

Most modern stoves can be altered to be Defra approved by an adjustment kit or kit that the installer provides. This is due to the primary difference between the DEFRA approved stove and one that are not, is the combustion air management system that controls how much air passes through the stove during normal operation. Modifications are usually made to the base or the underside of a stove's firebox.

There are some manufacturers who produce two different versions of a wood stove, one that is Defra-approved and the other that isn't. This is due to the process of putting a stove through the strict DEFRA approved eco design stoves tests is very expensive, so to help recoup some of this expense they'll sell the non-approved model at a lower cost. The DEFRA approved version will have been subjected to the modification of combustion air done as part of the testing process.

nrg-5kw-eco-design-portable-stove-multifuel-cast-iron-fireplace-defra-approved-275.jpgPrior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes could burn any fuel they wanted to, resulting in high levels of smoke emissions. This caused health problems. To prevent this Defra established Smoke Control Areas which meant that residential homes could not emit any smoke from their wood burners or multifuel stoves unless the appliance was Defra approved to burn only approved fuels like manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite.

Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been put through rigorous testing in order to demonstrate that they can efficiently burn fuels that are approved within a Smoke Control Area. The latest combustion technology delivers an unabated minimum of secondary air into the firebox. This lets the stove meet DEFRA certified stoves standards for Smoke Control Areas even when it is used with approved fuels like anthracite and manufactured smokeless coals.

The Stove Yard has a large selection of Defra-approved stoves which are perfect for those who reside in a smoke-free area and require a new wood burning fireplace. We offer a variety of Defra-approved stoves. These include traditional modern, contemporary and inset models from top brands like Stovax. Arada, Burley, and AGA.

The good thing is that there is no distinction in appearance between a stove that is DEFRA compliant stoves-approved and a stove that is not approved. However, the Defra-approved models do have a few features designed to make them burn cleaner. In general, they have a different design of grate and air vents and on gas stoves they may also feature a different sized flue outlet.

Another benefit of a Defra Approved stove is that they'll typically come with a 5" (125mm) flue outlet which means that you can use a narrower stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner, which is less expensive than a standard 6" (150mm) liner. We've used this when a customer has an older or non-standard chimney stack that we are installing the Defra approved wood burning stove in to and it saves the cost of relining the chimney with a bigger diameter liner.
