These Defra Smoke Exempt appliances are designed to ensure that wood or multi fuel is burned properly without creating excessive smoke.

Cleaner Burning

The most advanced combustion technology is used to reduce emissions and smoke in DEFRA registered stoves-exempt stoves or "clean burning" wood burners. They achieve this by using preheated tertiary (hotter) air to make fuel burn more efficiently, while reducing harmful particles that are released into atmosphere. The result is a cleaner, more efficient fire that emits less smoke and is a more efficient heating system.

These modern wood stoves aren't only more efficient, but they also have been designed to be gentler on your chimney and flue. They don't generate as much creosote as their predecessors, which means you can keep your flue and chimney clean for longer.

If you reside in a Smoke Control Area (most major towns and cities) then you must use a Defra Approved Stove or Wood Burner to avoid breaking the law and committing a large fine.

In the past, numerous manufacturers produced wood stoves which were extremely dirty and performed poorly in comparison with their EPA (U.S Environmental Protection Agency) emissions ratings.

Nowadays, all new wood stoves must meet a higher standard of EPA emissions than their non-certified predecessors. The latest wood stoves come with an EPA rating less than 1 gram of smoke per hour.

Wood stoves have plenty of room to improve.
