Defra Approved

Anyone who lives in an area that has smoke control in place must have a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure they do not emit any smoke. They also pass strict emissions tests and meet the government requirements for the Clean Air Act. DEFRA approved appliances are made and designed so that they can efficiently burn wood, resulting in minimal smoke. This is achieved by ensuring that the stove has enough to provide combustible flow.

DEFRA approved stoves are also more efficient in energy use. This means you can save on fuel costs and also keep your home warm for longer.

Clean Burning Technology

Multi fuel stoves are a great option for homeowners who would prefer a wood-burning stove but do not have room to store logs. They can be filled with either wood or manufactured fuels like peat and coal Briquettes. They typically burn both kinds of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is largely due to the design of a multi fuel stove has been optimized to to burn a variety of different fuels.

The raised grate on stoves that are designed to burn various fuels is usually designed to allow air circulation under the fuel. This is because certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes need plenty of air under them to ignite and burn effectively. The majority of multi-fuel stoves feature an additional airflow that can be shut or opened depending on the fuel type. This can help keep the fire burning by supplying a larger amount of air into the stove, and will also improve combustion efficiency.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in a fireplace can be used to alter the flame's height and temperature. This is crucial as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat. By keeping the flame's height and temperature under control you can ensure that your stove runs at its most efficient level while producing the maximum amount heat.

In the end, you'll be required to remove ash frequently from your stove and place it in an ash pan or bucket. This will stop the accumulation of ash too high on the stove grates and hinder your fuel from burning properly. You should also clean your stove's glass regularly to prevent any discoloration.

Low Emission Vehicles

Typically, a Defra approved stove will feature automatic fuel feed and an air supply control to ensure the fire is burning at its maximum efficiency.

If you live in a zone of smoke control, it is essential to use a Defra approved stove to ensure you comply with regulations and avoid paying hefty fines for burning illegally. There are a myriad of Defra approved stoves available on the market but we recommend that you choose one that is also Eco Design 2022 compliant as it will provide you with a better flame view and also be more energy efficient, too.

The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is an excellent example of an approved DEFRA Ecodesign stove that provides design and efficiency. With its compact size, it is ideal for smaller rooms and comes with easy-to-use primary and secondary air controls. Its elegant design would work well in both traditional and modern settings.

Another option is the Stovax Blithfield which is a widescreen stove that has large windows that offers stunning flame views. It is available in a variety of colours to match your decor.

An alternative to a conventional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove, which uses biomass pellets or wood that has been compressed to provide a highly efficient fire that has a high level of heat output. The pellets, comprised of sawdust or 349338 (Full Post) other wood products that have been rejected, are an environmentally sustainable alternative. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, which means they can be used for cooking too. The standard 6" (150mm), but still compatible with 5 1/2" (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is a benefit when it can be difficult to install a standard 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack has awkward bends in it.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove generates heat that the stove then distributes to the room. This is done either by radiation, in which the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflects heat back into the room, and/or convection, when it draws in cold air from outside, warms it up and then directs it into the room. The majority of modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximize the efficiency of their heat output making use of secondary and tertiary air sources to reduce emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible.

Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel Stove is a good example. It is approved by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. Its large square windows provide an excellent view of the flame and its wider size allows it to be able to fit into larger chimney openings. The airwash system keeps the glass clear of soot.
