Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology in defra approved log burners can reduce the amount of smoke and particulate that is released during combustion. This has been proven to dramatically reduce the health impacts of poor air quality in urban areas, specifically when an old-fashioned wood burning stove or fireplace is used. Bergen, for instance, realized the importance of taking measures to improve the quality of air. In the end, non-cleanburn stoves have been prohibited in the city. The trade-in scheme was a huge success, and Bergen ranked fifth out of the 320 European cities in terms of air quality in 2021.

To achieve this, stoves that are Defra-approved have been designed to ensure that the fire has enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is accomplished through having a secondary or tertiary air intake that allows additional combustion air to flow into the appliance in addition to the primary and/or the main air intake. A secondary air supply is usually located behind the appliance and is usually located either underneath or inside the fire box.

These modern, Defra exempt stoves have been through rigorous tests in order to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is only possible in the event that the stove is used with wood that has been dried and seasoned. dried at a temperature of less than 20 percent moisture.

A stove with more efficiency will further help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the stove, and will also save you money on heating bills.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

A lot of cities and large homes are within Smoke Control Areas, where the production of dark smoke could cause a problem for residents.
