The best Defra-approved stoves are those made of untreated, hard wood that is dry and has a an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove works effectively and reduce smoke and increase heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

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

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it produces considerably less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes a third, air intake. This stops the stove from being starved of air during the combustion process and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke that it produces.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollution than older models. This is important, because particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They then travel throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs or heart. This can cause serious health issues and even premature death.

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

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

Stoves that are not approved by local authorities will be fined up to PS1,000 per hour of smoke emission. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it's important to purchase a DEFRA-approved cooking appliance.

It permits you to burn approved fuels like wood and other multifuels which would normally be restricted if not using a DEFRA stove. Stoves that have been DEFRA approved can be known as SE stoves (smoke-exempt) and will have the SE logo in their name or on their specifications.

The Defra approved logo signifies that the stove has been tested independently and has been proven to burn wood in the smoke control zone without producing harmful smoke. It's a sign that the manufacturer has gone further than the norm to ensure compliance with the rules.

Some stoves have had their top air control adjusted to ensure that it can't be shut completely. Shut off the air supply to the log burner to prevent it from burning and generating black smoke.

Stoves that are Defra approved will typically allow you to use 5" flue liner when burning wood, while non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6" liner, which is too large for a lot of UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove can be more eco-friendly than earlier models or open fires.
