The DEFRA stoves that we sell have clean burn technology, which guarantees that any solid or wood fuel you use will be burned fully before it can escape up the chimney. The way in which they achieve this is through secondary and sometimes secondary air intakes that make sure that every single speck of smoke is burned before it can leave the stove. This keeps your chimney cleaner for longer, and your stove will require less fuel.

Smoke Control Areas are designated by local authorities. The principal reason for their existence is to prevent large amounts of smog from accumulating in cities and towns across the UK. In the past, people used to burn whatever fuel they wanted in their homes. This led to heavy pollution in many areas and caused health issues for the local population. In the past there was no law to regulate this, but today, we have to follow the rules.

To ensure the public's safety, Defra has created regulations that stipulate which stoves can be used in specific areas, and the kinds of fuels we can burn in the stoves. If you live in an area that is smoke-controlled it is only possible to use an DEFRA approved stove and burn only authorised fuels such as coal, logs or pellets. If you buy a non-DEFRA stove and burn disallowed fuels then you could be fined up to PS1000.

A stove that is DEFRA compliant stoves UK-approved will provide the minimum amount of air for combustion and will result in the least amount of smoke emissions. This is the only guarantee that you are allowed to burn wood or other approved fuels in Smoke Control Zones.

To be DEFRA-approved, wood burners and stoves that use multiple fuels must have a minimum moisture content of 20% to prevent excessive smoke. To get this to happen, wood needs to be properly seasoned. It is recommended to choose wood from the Forestry Commission's ‘Woodsure Ready to Burn’ scheme.

If you are buying an appliance for use in a Smoke Control Area, make sure it's got a Defra logo or a slash following its name. This means that the stove is smoke-free. The Defra logo is very easily recognisable and it is widely used by the industry.

DEFRA stoves are also designed to abide with strict regulations concerning emission of smoke in smoke-controlled areas. These rules are designed to reduce the amount of particulate material that escapes into the air during combustion.

The most recent DEFRA wood-burning stoves are designed to accomplish this by using advanced combustion systems which do not restrict the airflow inside the firebox. This allows the wood to be burnt more thoroughly and quickly which reduces the release of particles into the air. DEFRA stoves also feature a secondary combustion system which reduces emissions further by re-burning burned combustibles.

It is possible to install an appliance that does not meet DEFRA regulations, however this will require significant changes to your chimney and flue. This would require a structural change that may require planning permission. To avoid this, we recommend using a DEFRA compliant stove when purchasing a new fireplace or wood-burning stove.

Due to the advancement in technology, DEFRA wood burning stoves approved are far more eco-friendly than traditional open fires and stoves. When used correctly an appliance that burns wood is carbon neutral. This is because trees absorb carbon dioxide when they grow and then release it back into the air when they burn. They are therefore a greener alternative to fossil fuels.

The main concern when using an electric fireplace with wood burning is the emissions. The smoke produced by a wood-burning stove contains ultra-fine particulates which can cause health issues. These particulates can cause breathing problems, increase asthma symptoms, and cause you to feel unwell. They can also increase your risk of developing heart disease or cancer.
