Emissions reduced

In addition to being eco green, Defra approved multi fuel stoves can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide within the home. The main pollutant emitted from burning solid fuels, such as coal and wood is ultra-fine particulate matter, also referred to as PM2.5. These fine particles can get into the lungs, causing respiratory illness or even heart disease.

Modern multi-fuel stoves endorsed by DEFRA are designed to reduce the amount of this harmful substance. The Stove Yard offers a large selection of stoves that are SIA Ecodesign-compliant and have been rigorously tested to ensure that they function at a level that is lower than the current manufacturing standard of 3g/hour for appliances that are installed in areas with smoke control. We also have several models that are endorsed by clearSkies which is an independent scheme that provides more reductions in emissions.

The most modern DEFRA-approved stoves like those we have in our selection, offer an additional and third-generation of combustion systems that reduce the carbon footprint of the users and air pollution. The use of these systems allows you to reduce the amount of volatile gases produced by solid fuels, such as wood, and transform them into heat energy. This means that you can make use of less of your favorite fuel to get the same amount of heat which means that your fuel bills will be lower as well!

This is a wonderful feature However, it's important keep in mind that Defra approved stoves don't have the same burn times as non-Defra approved stoves. This is because a continuous supply of third-level and secondary combustion air is needed to prevent the flame from smoldering. If you intend to make use of the stove for the purpose of slumber burn (i.e. burning for the night), the Defra Approved model cannot allow you to extend your fuel supply to the same extent as a non Defra model.

Conforms to regulations on smoke control

DEFRA stoves advantages approved wood-burning stoves can be used in smoke control zones (check online to find out if you live in one). In smoke control areas the emissions of log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This stops the release into the air of pollutants that could irritate neighbors or cause health issues for those living nearby. It is essential to use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is essential to avoid being fined when the stove is found to be emitting excessive quantities of smoke.

Smoke control zones are generally urban areas with a high population density, such as cities and towns with large populations. The primary purpose of smoke control regulations is to preserve standards for air quality by limiting the emission of particulates into the air. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves that are compliant with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure they emit only minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensuring the health and safety of the people who live in these zones.

It is important to remember that smoke-free stoves can only be used with approved fuels such as dry, properly seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke control area because they can create excessive smoke. Burning household waste like old furniture, pallets, and fencing is also illegal since they've likely been treated with chemicals that may release toxic substances into the air when burned. Selecting firewood with an moisture content of 20% or less is recommended DEFRA stoves to prevent excessive emissions and ensure the stove is used in a safe manner. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great method to buy firewood with this need in mind.
