Choosing a Defra Woodburner

Anyone who lives in a smoking control area must use a DEFRA approved stove to ensure that they are in compliance with the laws. They are stoves that have been independently tested to ensure that they burn smokeless and wood in compliance with the law.

There isn't much of a difference between a DEFRA-approved stove and one that hasn't been approved. Modern stoves can be modified to become DEFRA approved by an accessory provided by the stove manufacturer.

Clean Burn Technology

A Defra-approved stove will use clean burning technology to reduce the amount of waste generated when burning fuels. This technology allows pre-heated air that has been filtered to be introduced into the combustion chamber. The air is mixed with the gaseous emissions from the fire and burns unburned hydrocarbons. This decreases the amount of smoke is released from a fireplace and also has a positive impact on asthmatics with respiratory issues.

Many modern wood stoves and burners use this technology, which is the main reason they are more environmentally green than older stoves or fires. If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, then you require a DEFRA-exempt appliance that has passed rigorous tests for emission of smoke to be categorized as "clean burn" in order to burn logs legally on a fireplace that is wood-burning.

It is best to only burn wood with a low moisture content when you have an approved DEFRA stove. This will allow you to benefit from the technology that lowers emissions. It is recommended that the wood has been dried for two years to ensure the wood has been reduced to less than 20 percent moisture. You can check the level of moisture in your wood with an easy moisture meter.

Using a DEFRA approved stove that has Clean Burn technology will reduce your energy bills as well as help keep the environment cleaner. Clean-burn technology that is patent-pending reduces the amount of smoke particles released which is beneficial for those with respiratory problems. Regular maintenance of your stove and flue system is vital to keep it working at its peak efficiency and avoid blockages.

If you are an owner of a business and you would like to save money on energy bills, then consider installing a waste oil heater from Clean Burn. There are a variety of boilers and furnaces that can be used to generate heat from your own waste oil. Each unit uses Clean Burn’s patented Heat Recovery Technology, which recycles waste oil and converts it into an energy source that is renewable. Clean Burn has a broad network of dealers that offer excellent customer service before and after the purchase. They also provide a comprehensive warranty that covers the heat exchanger and combustion chamber of their equipment for a period of 10 years or 15,000 hours.

Smoke Exempt Appliances

To be Defra Exempt the stove must undergo a rigorous test created by the UK Government's Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves) to ensure that it can be used in smoke controlled areas. A Defra Exempt stove will often be called a DEFRA stoves comparison stove or an SE stove. It will have been cleared by DEFRA to allow burning of wood and approved manufactured smokeless fuels in UK Smoke Control Areas.

You can avoid paying a fine and breaking the law if you own an approved woodburner from the Defra. This is because you can only legally use wood with an approved Smoke Control appliance and only certain approved fuels (see our Defra List of Authorised Fuels for a full list).

A Defra Exempt Stove will ensure that your chimney and flue system stays cleaner for much longer as the stove won't emitting a lot of nuisance smoke into the air in addition. Even if you're not in a Smoke Control Area, a Defra stove is still a great option as it is more sustainable and environmentally friendly because it produces less smoke than a non-Defra-approved stove.

Regular maintenance is the best method to ensure your stove operates at its highest level and increases its efficiency in terms of energy. This involves cleaning the flue and chimney regularly. A stove that is regularly cleaned and maintained will perform better, allowing you to save money over the course of time.

When you are deciding on the right stove, there are many aspects to take into consideration from the physical dimensions of the heater to the power output it will provide for your room. It is also essential to consider what fuel you will be using and whether you'll need to operate it in an area that has a Smoke Control Area.

Eco-Friendly

Ecodesign wood-burning stoves are built with the environment in mind. This is accomplished through the use of third-generation and secondary combustion systems, which reduce harmful particle emissions while saving fuel. They also burn wood at more temperature than other stoves. This results in the logs burning more efficiently and producing less pollutants. These eco-friendly stoves can also be more efficient than older models, thereby saving you money on your heating costs.

The Ecodesign logo that you see on many of our woodburners means that the stove is compliant with the latest EU regulations and UK laws on environmental protection. These Ecodesign log burners are engineered to maximize efficiency, and have a performance over the course of the season of more than 70 percent. They have a secondary clean burn system that is controlled by a chrome lever located at the stove's base. This mechanism opens and closes a vent which pulls air over the fire to re-burn any smoke that was originally generated by the fire. This helps reduce emissions and keeps your chimney and flue clean for longer.

We suggest that all of our customers choose Ecodesign stoves while shopping for a woodburner. They are not just more efficient and clean, but also emit less pollution. They can be more cost effective than other models, and come with a variety of styles that will complement the style of your home.

Defra Approved Stoves

Back in the day the people could choose whatever they wanted to burn on their fires, resulting in massive amounts of smoke being pumped into towns and cities across the nation. This caused a lot of health issues and the government was aware that they needed to do something about it. Smoke Control Areas were created to prevent all smoke emissions from residential properties except for those who use an approved stove and authorized fuel.

If you reside in a zone of smoke control, you must have a Defra Smoke Exempt woodburner to legally burn wood. If you don't do this, you risk breaking the law and could be punished.

Neighbour Friendly

Wood burning stoves are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. This is because of the recent influx from urban areas. It is essential to comply with the rules regarding log-burners to avoid fines or legal actions. This can be accomplished with a DEFRA approved stove that is in compliance with strict emission standards. There are several methods to determine if a stove has been DEFRA-approved and this includes checking the label and the specifications on the manufacturer's website.

The DEFRA stamp on a stove means that the stove has been tested thoroughly and meets strict emission standards, allowing for it to be used in smoke control zones. The stove will also burn less fuel and release fewer harmful pollutant. It is essential to look for this feature when searching for a new stove, as it will ensure that you get the most of your purchase, and also that you will be able to use it legally in smoke-control areas.

It is essential to only use kiln-dried or seasoned wood for your stove. Kiln drying lowers moisture levels in the wood which reduces pollution when it is burned. Wood can dry for up to two years in the natural process. If you're burning wood in a location where smoke is not a problem it is recommended to employ a chimney sweep, or make use of a log storage system to dry your wood. When purchasing wood be sure to look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo. This means that the wood is low in moisture.

The UK has laws to regulate harmful particles that are created by coal and wood fires. These tiny particles can trigger respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease and even dementia. Research has shown that wood-burning stoves account for 23 to 31 percent of London's PM2.5 pollution. It is therefore crucial to adhere to the regulations when purchasing an appliance and to be cautious when using it in smoke-controlled zones.
