These stoves can burn a variety of fuels including smokeless coal. Efficient Combustion The wood burning stoves from Defra utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure a clean and efficient burn.

This will ensure that the stove functions properly and will also reduce smoke and increase the heating capacity. Reduced Emissions A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as 'Ecodesign Ready. This means that they have been approved by the EU to be as efficient and clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations provide higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies' scheme. The major benefit of a Defra approved stove is that it will produce significantly less smoke than a non-certified stove. The reason is because they are designed to ensure a constant flow of air into the fire. This is achieved by having a secondary and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This ensures that the stove is not deficient in oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits. Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is crucial, as particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They then move throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs or heart. This can lead to serious health issues, including premature death. DEFRA lawful stoves is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutants. It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory issues. To achieve the new targets for air quality, the government has published an initial draft Environment Plan. The plan is aimed at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a dramatic reduction in emissions from domestic fuels like wood burners. In order to achieve this the goal, it will be difficult to purchase and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones. Stoves that are not approved will be penalized by local authorities, up to PS1,000 per hour they emit smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved are sometimes called SE (smoke exempt) stoves and will have the SE logo on their name or specification. The Defra logo indicates that the stove has undergone independent testing and has been proven capable of burning wood in a smoke-control zone without producing nuisance fumes. It is a great indicator that the manufacturer has gone above and beyond to comply with the rules. Certain stoves have their top air control modified to prevent the entire control from being shut. Shut off the air supply to a log burner to prevent it from burning and releasing black smoke. Stoves that are Defra approved usually allow you to use 5” flue liner when burning wood, however non-DEFRA approved stoves require a 6” liner, which is too big for many UK chimneys.
