What is a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove?

A defra approved multi fuel stove is one that has been cleared of the Defra smoke tests. They are also sometimes referred to as SE (smoke exempt) stoves.

The Defra department of the government is responsible for the rules and regulations that deal with rural issues, agriculture, and the environment. The Defra test guarantees that you can burn wood or approved smokeless fuels such as Anthracite ovals within an area that is smoke-free without upsetting your neighbours with annoying smoke.

Eco-Friendly

They typically use wood or a combination of fuels that are approved and are designed with ecological considerations in the back of their minds. There are numerous eco-friendly multi-fuel stoves and log burners available, from traditional to modern models. Some eco-friendly stoves even use dung (the excrement of domestic livestock) to provide an extremely efficient and carbon neutral alternative to wood.

The most important aspect to ensuring that your stove is eco-friendly is ensuring that the fuel you use is properly seasoned or dried. This reduces the moisture content of the wood and enables it to burn more efficiently. It is recommended to buy only wood procured from sustainable forests. Look for the Woodsure 'Ready to Burn' logo when purchasing wood to guarantee that it has been dried at an appropriate level.

The majority of newer stoves are built to meet strict EU EcoDesign standards. These standards require stove manufacturers to develop wood burning stoves keeping energy efficiency and the environment in mind. Ecodesign stoves have to take into account the environment, DEFRA compliant stoves UK energy efficiency, and waste reduction. They are among the most eco-friendly and clean stoves on the market.

Another option to make your stove green is to substitute the grates with ceramic.

Reduced Emissions

When used properly, a DEFRA exempt stove can produce very low levels of emissions. These emissions are typically PM2.5 particles, which can cause a range of health issues, including heart conditions and lung disease, when inhaled.

The information must include the stove's efficiency rating, emissions, as well as type and size.

It is important to remember that, just like Ecodesign the clearSkies regulations are minimum standards. Manufacturers can go above and over these. ESSE for instance, has engineered its latest stoves to be more efficient and cleaner burning and produce less particulates, without compromising on performance or control. This latest advancement utilizes the Twin Catalytic Combustion Technology, a patent-pending technology that reburns all smoke particles which reduces their impact on the environment.

In reality it's true that if you're in an smoke controlled zone and use a DEFRA Approved stove with a high-quality, kiln dried or seasoned log, you'll generate as much, or more, heat from the same amount of dry wood as if you were to burn it in a non-DEFRA Approved stove.
