Choosing a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove If you reside in a region that is under smoke control, then you must use a wood burning stove or multi-fuel stove approved by DEFRA. These are also known as Defra Exempt appliances and will allow you to use approved smokeless logs and coal without producing polluting smoke. Defra Approved Anyone who lives in an area where smoke control is enforced must use a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure that they do not emit any smoke. They also pass rigorous emission tests and satisfy government requirements for the Clean Air Act. DEFRA approved appliances are made and designed in a manner that they burn wood efficiently which results in a minimal amount of smoke. This is accomplished by ensuring that the stove has sufficient to provide combustible flow. We offer a broad selection of wood-burning stoves that are DEFRA approved in both contemporary and traditional styles. If you plan to install a DEFRA-approved stove is a good investment regardless of whether you reside in a smoke control area or not. Many of the latest models we offer have a built-in feature that prevents the top air vent from closing completely. This prevents the fire from becoming less effective and producing more smoke. DEFRA approved stoves are also more energy efficient. This allows you to save money on fuel and keep your home warmer for longer. They emit much less pollution than older stoves or open fires. Some of our models are Eco Design compliant 2022, a fantastic feature which will help you reduce the amount of fuel, saving you more money. These stoves are designed to make use of the whole combustible supply and burn fuel more efficiently. With primary air, secondary and tertiary controls that ensure the maximum heat is produced from your chosen fuel. We also stock a range of DEFRA multifuel stoves that permit you to burn all kinds of solid fuel, including smokeless coal, peat or turf briquettes. These stoves are great for those who want to utilize a stove that has various fuel options. They can also be used in Smoke Control Areas. Clean Burning Technology A multi fuel stove is a fantastic alternative for homeowners who wish to have a wood burning stove but don't have a large enough space for storing logs. These stoves are able to be filled with wood or manufactured fuels such as coal and peat. These stoves are generally able to combust both of these fuel types more efficiently than traditional log burners. This is due to the fact that multi-fuel stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels. The grate of a stove that is raised that are designed to burn various fuels is usually designed to allow air circulation underneath the fuel. This is because certain fuels like peat and turf briquettes require lots of air beneath them to ignite and burn effectively. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow which can be opened or shut depending on the fuel type. This helps keep the fire burning by providing an additional supply air into the stove. It also helps improve the combustion efficiency. The primary and secondary airflow systems within a fireplace can be used to adjust the height of the flame and also the temperature. This is important because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different quantities of heat. Making sure you keep the flame's at a reasonable temperature and height will ensure your stove is operating as efficiently as it can and generating the most amount of heat from its fuel. You should also remove the ash from your stove regularly and place it in a bucket or pan. This will prevent too much ash from accumulating on the grate bars and also preventing the fuel from burning properly. To prevent discoloration, you must clean the glass of your stove regularly. You can keep your stove looking brand new by using a soft, damp scourer along with a stove cleaner. To avoid any damage or problems it is crucial to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven. Low Emissions The most efficient multi-fuel stoves have low emissions, meaning they burn wood or smokeless coal, or a combination thereof with the least amount of emissions. This is especially important in areas with smoke control such as London, where you will need to use an approved stove by Defra. Only burn authorised materials in the Ready To Burn Scheme to conform to local regulations. Typically a Defra approved stove will feature automatic fuel feed as well as an air supply control to ensure that the fire burns at its highest efficiency. This results in minimal smoke and a very high heat output, which is an ideal choice for smaller spaces where the stove could be the focal point. If you live in a smoke-control area it is essential to select a stove that is Defra approved to ensure you comply with regulations. This will help you avoid paying hefty fines if you burn in a way that is illegal. There are many Defra-approved stoves available, but we recommend you choose a wood-burning fireplace that is also Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will give you better views of the flame and will be more efficient. The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is an excellent example of an approved DEFRA Ecodesign stove that provides style and efficiency. With a compact size it is ideal for smaller rooms and comes with easy-to-use primary and secondary air controls. Its stylish design would fit in both traditional and modern settings. Stovax Blithfield is another alternative. It's a large-screen with a square-shaped window that gives a fantastic view of the flames. It comes in a variety of colors to complement your decor. This stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be purchased with a clear arch or a Tracery version that has dramatic Gothic arches to the door. Pellet stoves are a good alternative to traditional multi-fuel stoves. They make use of compressed wood or biomass to produce a high-quality flame that is highly efficient. The pellets, comprised of sawdust or other wood products that were rejected, are an environmentally friendly alternative. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, so they can be used for cooking also. The standard 6” (150mm), but still compatible with a 5 ½” (125mm) liner is a standard feature. This is an advantage when it could be difficult to install an ordinary 6” (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack has some awkward bends. Energy Efficiency The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fire source generates heat that is dispersed to the room. This can be done by radiation, where the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflect heat back into the room or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, heats it up, and then directs it into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed for maximum efficiency, using secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and efficiently burn fuel. Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel stove is a great example. It is approved by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. Its large square windows provide an excellent view of the flame. Its larger dimensions allow it to be able to fit into larger chimney openings. It also comes with an airwash system that keeps the glass inside free of soot. multi fuel burning stove comes in six different finishes and you can even include a top plate to cook on. Multifuel stoves are also an efficient method to make use of wood, however you must follow your appliance's guidelines for the best results and make sure that it is regularly examined by an expert. It is also important to select the correct fuel, as every type will burn at different rates and generate an energy level that is different. You must decide if you would like the fire to generate a lot of heat quickly or prefer a long and slow burn that generates warm air. If you live in a smoke controlled zone, it is crucial to know that only DEFRA approved stoves are permitted to burn approved wood and smokeless coal. If you attempt to burn other types of fuel, it may lead to a large fine and may cause damage to your stove as well. The Defra approved multifuel stoves we have in stock all have 5” (125mm) flue outlets that can be fitted to an existing chimney stack or flue system. This is a less expensive option than fitting a stainless steel twin wall liner, especially in the case where you don't have to go as high up the chimney.
