Smoke Control Areas are regulated by local authorities. The primary reason for this is to prevent large amounts of smog from being released into towns and cities across the UK. In the past, people would use any kind of fuel they liked in their homes and this resulted in heavy smog in several areas, which led to health issues for the inhabitants. In the past there was no law governing this but nowadays, we have to follow the rules.

Defra regulations have been formulated to ensure public safety. They define which stoves are allowed in specific areas, and which fuels are allowed. If you live in a place that is smoke-free, you can only make use of a DEFRA approved stove and burn only authorised fuels like logs, coal or pellets. If you buy a non DEFRA stove and use disallowed fuels, you could be penalized as high as PS1000.

A stove that is approved by Defra will provide the smallest amount of air to burn and will result in minimal smoke emissions. This is the only way to guarantee that you are able to legally burn wood and other authorised fuels in a Smoke-Control Area.

To be DEFRA-approved, wood burners and stoves that burn multiple fuels must have at least 20% to prevent excessive smoke. To get this to happen the wood must be seasoned and ideally sourced from the Forestry Commission's "Woodsure Ready to Burn' scheme.

If you are purchasing an appliance for use in a Smoke Control Area, make sure it's got a Defra logo on it or a slash after its name. This indicates that the stove is smoke-exempt. The Defra logo is easily identifiable and has been widely adopted in the industry.

Conforms to Building Regulations

If a stove that burns wood is DEFRA approved, this means that it has been rigorously tested and meets building regulations. This means that the stove is safe for use and has a properly installed flue system. This helps reduce the air pollution in the home and also prevents fire hazards. This is particularly crucial for those who live in smoke control zones where it is illegal to use non-approved fuels.

DEFRA stoves are available in a range of styles, sizes and finishes. This allows you to find the perfect stove for your home. We have models in traditional and modern styles with freestanding, inglenook and inset styles to match any decor. Based on your preferences you can pick a wood burner or a multi-fuel model.

DEFRA stoves also comply with strict regulations governing the emission of smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled. These regulations are designed to minimize the amount of particulate matter that is released into the air when the stove is burning.

The most recent DEFRA wood burning stoves have been designed to accomplish this by utilizing advanced combustion systems that do not restrict airflow within the firebox. This lets the wood be burnt more thoroughly and quickly which reduces the release of particles into the air. Additionally, DEFRA stoves are equipped with a secondary combustion system that further reduces emissions by re-burning combustibles not yet burned from the previous combustion process.

Although it is possible to install a non-DEFRA compatible stove, it will usually require significant modifications to the chimney and flue system. This could require a structural alteration which may require planning permission. To avoid this, it is best to select a DEFRA compliant stove when buying a new wood-burning fireplace.

A DEFRA approved stove will usually have a 5" (125mm) flue outlet. This permits you to use a 5" vitreous flue liner, saving you money on installation. This solution is a good idea for those who are on a budget or if the chimney has some awkward bends to navigate.

Emissions Reduction

When searching for a wood burning stove, you will encounter many terms that may confuse you. One of these is the term DEFRA exempt or DEFRA approved stoves, which means it can be used in smoke controlled areas of the UK.

These stoves have been inspected to ensure they are compliant with UK smoking laws. They do this by incorporating the latest clean burn technology that uses secondary and tertiary combustion to produce healthier air for your home. This also reduces your consumption of fuel as the fuel is burned more efficiently which reduces your carbon footprint.

Due to the latest technology employed, DEFRA wood burning stoves certified are much more sustainable than traditional open fires and stoves. If used properly, a wood burning stove is carbon neutral. This is due to the fact that trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and then release it back into the air when they burn. They are therefore a greener alternative to fossil fuels.

The main issue when using a stove that burns wood is the emissions that are generated. The smoke produced by a wood-burning fire has ultrafine particles that are known to cause serious health problems. These particulates can cause breathing problems, increase asthma symptoms, and cause you to feel unwell. They can also increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.

The British wood-burning industry is the biggest source of PM2.5 pollution, causing three times more pollution than road traffic.
