Reduced emissions

In addition to being environmentally sustainable, Defra approved multi fuel stoves can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the home. The main pollutant released by solid fuels, such as wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). Fine particles can enter the lungs, causing respiratory ailments and heart diseases.

Fortunately, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have been designed to reduce levels of this dangerous gas. The majority of the stoves we feature here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure they operate far below the new manufacturing limit of 3g/hour of smoke emissions for appliances that are installed in Smoke Control Areas.

The latest DEFRA approved stoves, like the ones we have in our collection offer secondary and tertiary combustion system to further reduce carbon footprint and air pollution levels. These systems aid in the conversion of more volatile gases produced by solid fuels like wood, into heat energy. This means that you can use less of your preferred fuel to achieve the same level of heating and your fuel expenses will be less!

This is an excellent feature However, it's important keep in mind that Defra approved stoves don't have the same time to burn as non-Defra certified stoves. This is because a constant supply of third-level secondary and combustion air is needed to prevent the fuel from smouldering. If you intend to use the stove for the purpose of slumber burn (i.e. burning over the course of the night), it is important to choose a Defra Approved model cannot allow you to extend your fuel supply to the same extent as an non top DEFRA stoves model.

In compliance with regulations for smoke control

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are suitable for use in smoke control areas (check online if the area you live in is one of these). In these areas, stricter limits are set for the emissions from log burners to prevent nuisance smoke. This prevents the release of pollutants into the air that could irritate neighbors and cause health issues for people living nearby. It is important to use a DEFRA-approved cooking stove in a smoke-controlled space to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are usually urban areas with a high population density, like large towns and cities. The main purpose of smoke control regulations is to maintain air quality standards by limiting the release of particulates into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by Defra are compliant with the regulations and have been certified to ensure low emissions. This is essential to ensure the health and safety of the people who live in these zones.

It is also important to remember that smoke exempt stoves can only be used with approved fuels, such as dry well-seasoned, well-seasoned firewood. It is illegal to burn wet or damp fuels in a smoke-control area since they can cause excessive smoke. It is unlawful to burn household waste such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals that release toxic substances when they are burned. To reduce the amount of emissions, it is recommended to choose firewood with a moisture content below 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is used correctly and prevent excessive emissions. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great option to purchase firewood keeping this need in mind.
