What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you live in an area where smoke is controlled, it's essential to purchase a DEFRA stoves installation-exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove permits you to legally burn wood in a smoke-controlled area.

The stoves are independently tested for the lowest emissions possible. Stoves that are certified as such typically have the 'Defra approved' logo in their name or specification.

Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas

Many people think that living in a Smoke Control Area means you can't have a wood burning stove but this isn't the case. Most cities and large towns are within the smoke control zone, however that doesn't mean you can't use a wooden burning stove. It's just that they need to burn authorised fuels in their stove (usually brquettes). The Defra-approved stove is a wood-burning stove that has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it meets certain standards regarding the emissions it produces when burning authorised fuels. This means it can be used legally in smoke-control zones.

The Defra logo is widely used by the industry and a large number of the stoves that have been approved bear SE after their names which means they are smoke free. To be SE approved, a stove must meet strict emission standards. This means that you can be confident you're buying the best wood stove that is available.

If you are looking for a wood-burning stove that is Defra exempt or has SE after its name, you will often find that the manufacturer has carried out things like making sure there enough air inlets on the front of the stove to allow for full combustion of the fuel and that the chimney outlet size is sufficient to prevent the build-up of soot. This is important because it helps to ensure that the smoke from the stove does not escape through the chimney into your home.

A stove that is Defra-approved permits you to install a 5" liner that is in compliance with UK building regulations. Non-Defra-approved stoves require a 6" liner.

Approved for Smokeless Fuels

A DEFRA approved wood burning stove, also known as a DEFRA exempt stove is the only type of stove that you can put in a smoke-control area in the event that you intend to use it for solid fuel (wood or wood that is well-seasoned). They are inspected by the government to ensure that they don't produce excessive levels of smoke and can be used with 'authorised' fuels (coal only).

The distinction between a stove that is DEFRA approved and one that is not approved is usually quite small. With a kit from the manufacturer, a lot of modern stoves can be easily converted to DEFRA certified in a matter of just a few minutes. This is because Defra approved appliances must pass extremely rigorous tests and are restricted in the amount of smoke they are able to produce.

To ensure that the restrictions are not violated, the stove must be able to limit the amount of combustion air to ensure that it doesn't rob itself of oxygen which can cause it smoulder. This is accomplished by an opening mechanism that lets the air in the firebox when it is burning. It is typically hidden in the stove or under the base of its firebox.

Stove World UK has a large selection of DEFRA approved stoves, made by some of the top manufacturers in the country including Stovax Arada and Burley.

Smoke Control Zones are located predominantly in large cities and towns. You can visit the website of your local authority to determine whether you are in one of these. If you live in a zone that is smoke-free, it is very important to purchase an DEFRA approved stove for your property, to avoid being fined by your local authority. This is because if you burn 'unauthorised' fuel in an unapproved stove, for example coal or other solid fuels, you could be fined up to PS300.

Approved for wood

A DEFRA approved wood stove, also known as a smoke exempt stove, is an appliance that can be used in a Smoke Control Area when burning wood. The stove will have the Defra approved symbol or 'SE' the front of its name that means it can only be used in smoke-controlled areas if you burn approved fuels. In this case wood.

The older wood stoves produce large amounts of particulate matter, which can trigger or exacerbate respiratory problems, asthma attacks and heart issues. It is therefore essential to choose a wood stove that is compliant with the strict emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency. Look for the "EPA 2020 Certified Label" which indicates that the stove has met the emission limits that are currently in place.

If you purchase a cooktop that isn't EPA-certified and you reside in a smoke-free area you'll have to recertify it before you can use the stove. This can be expensive and time-consuming, but it is legally required. In addition homeowners who sell a house with a wood stove that isn't certified could be liable for clean air tax credits as well as fines.

With a kit, or an adjustment supplied by the installer, the majority of modern stoves can be made Defra-approved. The primary difference between DEFRA approved stoves and those that aren't combustion air control system, which regulates the quantity of air that goes through the stove when it is in normal operation. The change is usually placed on the underside of the firebox, or in the base.

Certain manufacturers will make two versions of their wood stove, one that is Defra approved and the other that is not. The reason behind this is that the cost of putting a wood stove through the rigorous Defra testing is expensive. To offset these costs, they will sell the non approved version at a cheaper price. The DEFRA-approved version has been through the modification to the combustion air as part of the testing process.

Approved Gas

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes could use any fuel they wanted to, resulting in excessive smoke emissions. This could cause health problems. To prevent this, DEFRA approved clean burning stoves established Smoke Control Areas. This meant that homes could not emit any smoke except if their wood burners and multifuel stoves were approved by DEFRA requirements stoves for burning only approved substances like manufactured smokeless coke and anthracite.

Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been subjected to rigorous testing in order to prove they can burn authorised fuels cleanly in a Smoke Control Zone. The latest technology for combustion delivers a constant minimum of secondary air into the firebox. This lets the stove comply with Defra standards for Smoke Control Areas even when it is used with authorised fuels like anthracite as well as manufactured smokeless coals.

If you're looking for a brand new wood-burning stove and you live in an area that has a Smoke Control Area then we suggest that you take a look at the selection of Defra approved stoves which can be found here at The Stove Yard. We have a wide range of Defra-approved stoves, including traditional models, modern and inset from top brands like Stovax. Arada, Burley and AGA.

The good news is that there is no distinction in appearance between a stove approved by Defra and a stove that is not approved. However, the DEFRA Recommended stoves-approved models do come with a few extra features designed to make them burn cleaner. In general, they have a different design of grate and air vents, and on gas stoves, they may also have a different sized flue outlet.

Another benefit of an Defra Approved stove is that they will almost always have a 5" (125mm) flue outlet. This means that you can use a narrower stainless steel twin wall chimney liner that is less expensive than a standard 6" (150mm) liner. We've seen this helpful when a customer has an older or non-standard chimney that we are installing a Defra approved wood-burning stove in and it reduces the cost of re-lining the chimney stack with a bigger diameter liner.
