Reduced emissions

Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are not just environmentally sustainable, but they also reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in your home. The primary pollutant produced from burning solid fuels, like coal and wood is ultra-fine particulate matter also referred to as PM2.5. These fine particles can get into the lungs and cause respiratory illnesses or heart disease.

Fortunately, modern defra burning mdf approved multi fuel stoves have been designed to reduce levels of this dangerous gas. The majority of the stoves available here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have undergone rigorous testing to ensure that they operate well from the new manufacturing limit of 3g/hour smoke emission for appliances used in Smoke Control Areas.

The latest DEFRA approved stoves, such as those we carry offer an additional and tertiary burning system to further reduce their carbon footprint and air pollution levels. The use of these systems allows you to burn more of the volatile gases generated by solid fuels like wood, and then convert them into heat energy. You'll reduce the amount of fuel you use to achieve the same heating level which can lower the cost of fuel.

While this is a great feature of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves, it is important to know that Defra Approved stoves don't offer the same burn time as non-Defra stoves. This is because a constant supply of third-level secondary and combustion air is needed to prevent the flame from smoldering. As such, if you are planning to make use of your stove for slumber burning (i.e burning over the course of the night), the Defra Approved stove won't allow you to extend the fuel supply as much as a non-DEFRA Approved British Stoves model.

Conforms to regulations on smoke control

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are approved for use in areas with smoke control (check online if the area you live in is one of these). In these areas, more stringent limits have been set on the emissions from log burners to avoid nuisance smoke. This stops the release into the air of harmful substances that could irritate neighbors or cause health issues for those living nearby. Making sure you use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke controlled zone is crucial to avoid being fined if the stove is found to be releasing excessive amounts of smoke.

Smoke control zones are generally urban areas with a high density, like large towns and cities. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to ensure the quality of air by limiting particulate emissions into the atmosphere. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves that are compliant with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure that they emit only minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensure the health and safety for those living in these areas.

It is also important to keep in mind that smoke exempt stoves can only be used with authorized fuels such as dry well-seasoned and properly seasoned firewood. It is against the law to burn wet or damp fuels in a smoke control area as these can cause excessive smoke. Burning household waste such as old furniture, pallets or fencing is also illegal since they've likely been treated with chemicals that may release toxic substances into the air when they are burned. To prevent excessive emissions, it is best to choose firewood that has less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is used correctly and will prevent the emission of excessive amounts. Woodsure Ready to Burn is a great option for buying firewood that meets the requirements.

A DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove will be able to burn a variety of different kinds of fuels, meaning you can have a cozy fire all year round without having to change the chimney system. It is crucial to remember, however, that your stove requires regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure it functions effectively.
