Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra approved log burner is one of the most popular stoves for homeowners. This is mainly due to the fact that they offer better combustion and greater control over heating expenses.

You can also burn wood legally in Smoke Control Areas, which is an enormous benefit because it helps you avoid the fines levied on people who use stoves that are not regulated. They are available in many different styles to fit any home.

Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology is employed in log burners that have been defra-approved to limit the amount and kind of particles and smoke released. It has been proven that this technology can help reduce the health risks associated with poor air quality in urban areas. This is particularly applicable to fireplace or wood-burning stove. Bergen is a prime example. The city realized the importance of implementing measures to improve the quality of air. As a result, non-cleanburn stoves have been removed from the city. The program to trade in stoves was a great success. Bergen ranked fifth among 320 European cities in 2021 when it came to its air quality.

To accomplish this, stoves that are Defra-approved are designed to ensure that the flame gets enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is accomplished by having a secondary or tertiary air feed which allows extra combustion air to be injected into the appliance in addition to the main air intake. A secondary air supply is typically located behind the appliance and is usually located either underneath or inside the fire box.

These modern, Defra exempt stoves have been passed rigorous tests in order to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is only possible if the stove is used with wood that has been seasoned and kiln dried to less than 20% moisture.

A Defra approved stove will have also been tested to be able to emit no more than 3g of smoke per hour which is the legal limit for many UK cities and towns. If a stove emits excess emissions, the owner can be punished to the tune of PS300.

A Defra approved stove will be identified as such on the product and will also have an Ecodesign label, which came into force in 2022. Ecodesign-compliant stoves must be able to pass rigorous emissions tests and have an efficiency rating of at minimum 72%. A stove with an efficient rating will reduce the amount pollution produced by it, while also saving you money on your heating costs.

Ideal for Smoke Control Areas

The UK's government has set strict emission limits for fireplaces and stoves. They are designed to make the country a cleaner and healthier environment to live in. Smoke Control Areas are found in numerous cities and towns and where the dark smoke can cause annoyance to residents. If you have an older wood-burning stove or open fire and you reside in a smoking control area, it is essential that you upgrade your appliances to Defra-approved Log Burners.

They are more eco-friendly than traditional log burners, and are equipped with the latest clean burning technology. Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley Parkray & Stovax continue to develop their products, and produce models that have secondary and tertiary systems that reduce emissions. These advanced burners can save you money in the long term on fuel costs.

DEFRA approved sustainable stoves approved, or Defra exempt are terms used to indicate that the stove has passed a UK Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs test. This test guarantees that the stove is safe to be used in smoke-free areas. The term Defra Exempt is also applied to some models that have passed the test and can be used to burn smokeless fuels that are approved that are listed on a list provided by Defra. These fuels do not include wood.

If you own an older stove that is not DEFRA approved and you put it in a smoke-controlled area, you could be fined for violating the law. You can check whether you are in a zone of smoke control by visiting the official Defra website.

Regular cleaning can also ensure that your stove glass stays clean and clear so that you can take in the view of a stunning flames without obstructions.

You might require a range of tools to maintain your wood stove. This includes an ash and cleaning brush vacuum cleaner, as well as stove polish. It is important to perform the cleaning procedure when your stove is cool, and we recommend wearing gloves that resist heat.

First, make use of the grate brush remove any ash that has accumulated on the bottom of the stove. Make sure you reach all crevices and corners. You can then employ an ash vacuum get rid of any remaining ashes, and dispose of them into an aluminum container. When your stove is clean you can apply a stove polish using a soft cloth making sure not to touch the hot surface.

To ensure that you do not produce high levels of particles, it's essential to burn only top quality well-seasoned, seasoned logs on your approved log burner. When choosing your firewood, search for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo or use a moisture meter to determine if the moisture content is less than 20%. You can also season your own logs but it may take as long as 2 years for the moisture content to evaporate.

You should always avoid burning painted, stained or chemically treated wood (this includes pallets, MDF and Medium Density Fibreboard). These types of wood produce dangerous chemicals when burned and are not suitable for burning in a log burner.

It is essential to install your log burner correctly to ensure its performance and efficiency. Install it by a professional and in a well-ventilated space, free of drafts. Stoves installed incorrectly can be dangerous and cause damage, as well as diminishing the performance of the stove and causing higher the cost of running.

Energy Efficient

Log burners with Defra approval are generally more efficient in energy than their counterparts. The reason is that they have passed the tests that ensure that the correct amount of air is supplied to the wood stoves or fuel burning stoves during combustion. This reduces the amount of smoke that is produced and it also reduces heat loss and emissions from the stove.

You can be sure that a wood burner exempt from defra is safe to use within your chimney system since it has a chimney diameter of 5" (150mm). Non-Defra approved stoves have larger chimney outlet, which could cause issues when installing an chimney liner. At The Stove Yard we can offer a range of 5" chimney liner for your wood stove or multi fuel stoves that are exempt from defra.

The majority of the stoves we sell at The Stove Yard are Defra approved and feature the most recent clean burning technology. Many of our models have secondary and tertiary air intakes to help ensure that the fuel burns effectively. This helps to improve the efficiency of the stove and reduces the amount of smoke that is produced.

UK cities and towns are classed as Smoke Control Areas and in order to be in compliance with the law, you must use a DEFRA stoves reviews-approved appliance when burning wood or smokeless coal.
