Efficient Combustion

Defra wood stoves utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure clean and efficient burning. This is achieved by ensuring the fire does not run out of oxygen. This makes sure that any combustibles are not fully burnt will not escape up the chimney into the air which could create pollution.

The best Defra-approved stoves are those made of untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a moisture content below 20 percent. This will not only help ensure that the stove is operating efficiently, but it will also create less smoke and improve the capacity of heating.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means that they are checked to be as efficient as possible and www.fireplacesandstove.com as green as the EU permits.

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce considerably less smoke than an uncertified stove. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with a constant supply of air. This is done by having a secondary and sometimes a third, air intake. This prevents the stove being starved of oxygen during the combustion process and also reduces the amount of black smoke it produces.

These modern stoves are also designed to produce less harmful particles than previous models. This is important as particulate pollution can enter the bloodstream and travel through the body, eventually settling in the lungs and the heart. This could lead to serious health issues and even premature death.

The EU seeks to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutant. It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory issues.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality targets. The plan is aimed at reducing average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a dramatic reduction in emissions from domestic fuels like wood burners.

To accomplish this the goal, it will be more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that aren't approved by local authorities will be penalized to the tune of PS1,000 per hour of smoke emissions.

A DEFRA stove is a wood burner that has passed a series of rigorous tests and exams to ensure that it is in compliance with the Department of Environment's regulations. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently, while reducing harmful pollutants.

If you reside in an area with smoke-control or smoke-controlled, a DEFRA stove is required. It permits you to use approved fuels like wood and other multifuels that would typically be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved may be referred to as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and display the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been tested independently and is able to burn wood in a smoke control zone without producing nuisance smoke. It's a good indication that the manufacturer went above and beyond the regulations.

Certain stoves have their top air controls altered to prevent it from closing completely. Close the air supply of the log burner to prevent it from burning and producing black smoke.

Stoves that have been Defra approved also typically allow you to use 5" flue liner with them when burning wood, whereas non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner, which is too big for many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove is also more eco-friendly than older models or open fires.
