Multi Fuel Stoves – Are They DEFRA Approved? When you are looking for new stoves it is crucial to ensure that the selected appliance is compliant with all rules and regulations. This includes ensuring that the stove is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas when burning wood and approved smokeless coal. The stoves come with separate air controls that supply the proper amount of air for both secondary and primary combustion. They also come with an the ash pan to make cleaning easier. Clean Burn Technology Multi-fuel stoves can be used with a variety of different materials, including logs. These include smokeless fuels, anthracite, peat or turf briquettes and more. They generally, these materials produce less harmful emissions than logs do. Many of our multifuel stoves come with clean burn technology that reduces the amount of particulate matter produced during combustion. The term “clean burn” is also used to refer to other technologies that decrease emissions, such as preheated tertiary or Ecodesign Ready. Many of our multifuel stoves have a raised grate or a central grate riddling with asphan underneath it. This helps maintain optimal combustion conditions. This ensures that the combustion process produces the least amount of black smoke possible during operation. It also allows the removal of ash from the bottom of the stove, which can be contained in the asphan below to ensure safe disposal. If you live in the Smoke Control Area, it's important to buy a Defra exempt wood burning or multi fuel stove that is Defra approved. This will allow you to use the stove legally as long as it's using fuels that are authorised, according to DEFRA guidelines. This is because non-Defra stoves could be prone to'slumbering,' which is a condition where the combustion system becomes starved of air resulting in black smoke. Defra approved wood burners (or stoves that are Defra-exempt) have been thoroughly tested and verified to prevent the risk of sleepiness. This provides you with peace of mind knowing your stove is always clean and efficient when operating correctly. Modern multi-fuel stoves such as the Gallery Classic 5 Compact and the Stovax Stockton 3 come with modern design, with sleek lines and smooth surfaces that complement any room. They also come with a range of colors including traditional black, which provides a timeless appearance that blends well with a range of interior colour designs. Other popular options include creamy and neutral grey as well as striking colours like red or blue that can make an impact in any room. Defra Approved Stoves that are DEFRA approved (also called SE or Smoke Exempt) are able to be used in areas of the UK that are designated as smoke controlled. This includes a lot of cities, large towns and urban areas. You could face fines if you live in an area where you burn fuel or wood that is not approved. Stoves that are DEFRA approved will provide the required amount of air to ensure efficient combustion. This means that they produce very little or no nuisance smoke. Stoves must pass tests for efficiency and emissions to be eligible for Defra approval. The Defra logo is easily identifiable on stoves and manufacturer websites. Numerous stove manufacturers are improving the products they sell by incorporating secondary and tertiary systems that reduce emissions. This makes their stoves environmentally sustainable and allows them be used with a wider range of fuels. Always verify if the stove is DEFRA-approved prior purchasing a new wood or multi-fuel stove. This is especially important if you reside in a smoke-free zone. Even if you are able to make use of approved smokeless fuels such as briquettes and anthracite, a stove not DEFRA-approved will still produce nuisance smoke, which is in violation of the law. DEFRA approved stoves will have an adjustment on the top vent that will stop you from closing it completely. This prevents you from depriving the stove of oxygen, which could slow its combustion and cause it to smoking. The more smouldering that occurs the more smoke is produced and the less efficiently your stove is burning. You should only use dry seasoned hardwood and only smokeless fuels that have been approved for use in the DEFRA approved stove. The smoke that is produced by damp wood and other wet fuels is too much and can cause trouble for your neighbors. DEFRA stoves installation is not just illegal, but it can also lead to costly fines. If you want a multi-fuel stove that's DEFRA approved then you must have it installed by an engineer to ensure that it is compliant with the applicable building regulations. Smoke Control Areas The Smoke Control Areas are primarily located in large towns and cities where smoke pollution can be a major source of irritation for residents. If you live in a area that is that is smoke-free and you are not allowed to burn unapproved fuels using open fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, unless the appliances are designated as exempt. Defra approved wood burning and multi-fuel stoves are equipped with the latest combustion technology that prevents part-burned combustibles going up your chimney, making them an ideal choice for your smoke controlled property. DEFRA approval means that your appliance has been tested to ensure that it is able to burn all approved fuels without generating excessive smoke. This is accomplished by supplying the right amount of air to the combustion process in order to keep the combustibles in an optimum state. Wood burning stoves that have been approved by Defra are more eco-friendly and less likely to cause a chimney blockage. Defra approved stoves are the perfect option for your smoke controlled home and offer a safe and clean way to heat your home while ensuring compliance with the government's strict guidelines. No matter if you're looking for a modern or traditional stove, we offer a wide range of multi-fuel and wood stoves that are DEFRA approved and suitable for use in smoke control areas. A stove that is approved by Defra will have a list of exclusions which explains which fuels are allowed to be burned in a smoke control area. This is mainly wood (properly dried) but can also include household smokeless substances like anthracite. All of our wood-burning stoves that are Defra-approved and multi-fuel stoves include a manufacturer's certificate and an instruction manual for the user and installation instructions to help you get your stove operating in a secure manner. It is recommended to have your fireplace installed and maintained by a HETAS-certified engineer to ensure that the work is done in accordance with the building regulations. Dovre offers a wide range of accessories for your wood-burning stove or multi-fuel, such as log baskets, mesh guards and flue liners.

Modern multi-fuel stoves have been designed to achieve optimal combustion. This means that they can heat your house at a lower cost. They can also be used as a supplement to your central heating system and help reduce emissions. Energy-efficient stoves can significantly reduce your heating bills, helping you to save money on your energy bills. They use less fuel than traditional wood-burning stoves and are available in a wide range of heat outputs ranging from 5kW to 8kW. Choosing a multi-fuel stove with triple burn technology can help to enhance its efficiency. The triple burn technology employs three stages to ensure that each bit of fuel is combusted completely, resulting in more efficient heating and lower emissions. Many people opt for a multi-fuel stove because it allows them to be more flexible when it comes to the fuel they choose. This is an excellent feature for those living in areas that are smoke-free since it gives them the option to burn both wood or smokeless coal. You should only use the fuels that are recommended by your stove's manufacturer. Don't burn household waste or wood that has been treated or painted. When purchasing a multi-fuel stove, you should make sure it is appropriate for your home and it has the correct flue outlet. You should also check that the chimney or flue system is in good shape and that there is enough clearance around it (known as the distance from combustion sources) for safety. Multi-fuel stoves are available in various styles to match your decor. Some come in vibrant colours like red or blue, while others have enamel coatings and metallic finishes which can create an industrial and modern style to your home. You can find stoves that have built-in log storage, such as the ACR Malvern Log Store and Mendip Woodland Log Store. This is a convenient way to store firewood. A multi-fuel stove can be more versatile than the traditional wood stove but you must stick to the strict rules set forth by DEFRA to avoid nuisance smoke. A stove that is not in compliance with these guidelines could result in a fine, so you should always follow the directions in the manual for your stove.
