Efficient Combustion

Defra wood burning stoves utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure a clean and efficient combustion. This is accomplished by ensuring the flame doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any partially burned combustion products that aren't fully burnt will not escape down the chimney and into the air where they could create pollution.

This will not only help ensure that the stove operates efficiently, but it will also reduce the amount of smoke it produces and improve the capacity of heating.

Reduced Emissions

A large portion of the Defra wood stoves we sell have been certified as Ecodesign Ready'. This means they have been regulated by the EU to be as efficient and clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards of efficiency and emissions than government's 'clearSkies" scheme.

The major benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it will produce considerably less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire has an ongoing supply of air. This is accomplished through having a secondary, and sometimes even tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove from being depriving of air during the process of combustion and thus reduces the amount of black smoke that it produces.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollutants than older models. This is important as particulate pollution can be absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body, settling in the lungs as well as the heart. This can lead to serious health issues, including premature death.

The EU seeks to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutants. This is because it is linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and other respiratory ailments.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help achieve the new air quality goals. The plan is aimed at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic meter by 2040. This will require the reduction of the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

In order to achieve this, it will make it difficult to purchase and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones.

If you reside in a smoke-free area, then the use of a DEFRA approved stove is required. You can use approved fuels such as wood and multifuels, which are restricted if you're not using a DEFRA approved stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and will display the SE logo in their name or in the specifications.

The Defra approved logo indicates that the stove has been independently tested and has been proven to burn wood in an area that is smoke-free without producing excessive smoke. It's a good indicator that the manufacturer has gone above and beyond to comply with the laws.

Certain stoves have their top air controls altered to prevent it from being closed completely. Shutting off the air supply to a log burner can deprive it of oxygen which hinders its combustion and creates black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved allow you to burn wood using a 5" liner, while stoves that aren't approved by DEFRA require the use of a 6" flue liner. This is too big for many UK chimneys.

Another reason to consider a Defra wood burning stove is that they are more eco-friendly than older models of woodburners and open fires.
