Choosing a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove If you reside in an area under smoke control, you must make use of a wood burning stove or multi-fuel stove approved by DEFRA. They are also referred to as Defra Exempt appliances and will allow you to use approved coal and smokeless logs without producing polluting smoke. Defra Approved Anyone who lives in an area where smoke control is in place must use a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved stoves have been tested and proven to produce very little smoke. They also pass strict emissions tests and meet the government's Clean Air Act requirements. DEFRA approved appliances are manufactured and designed so that they burn wood efficiently and produce minimal smoke. This is achieved by ensuring that the stove always has sufficient combustion flow. We offer a wide range of wood burning stoves that are DEFRA approved in both traditional and modern styles. If you plan to install a DEFRA-approved kitchen, it's a great investment regardless of whether you reside in a smoke control zone or not. Many of the modern models we sell have an integrated feature that stops the top air vent from closing completely. This prevents the fire from losing effectiveness and causing more smoke. DEFRA approved stoves are also more energy efficient. This means you can save on fuel costs and keeps your home warm for longer. They emit much less pollution than older stoves or open fires. Some of the models that we have on hand are Eco Design 2022 compatible, a fantastic feature that can help reduce the amount of fuel you need to burn, thereby saving you even more money. These stoves are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and use the entire combustible source. They also come with primary secondary, third, and tertiary controls. We also carry a selection of DEFRA Multi Fuel Stoves. multi fuel stove defra approved allow you to burn any solid fuel, which includes smokeless coal, peat or turf Briquettes. These stoves are great for those who wish to use a stove that can burn a range of fuels. They can also be employed 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 enough space to store logs. These stoves can be filled with wood or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal. They are typically able to combust both of these fuel types more effectively than traditional log burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a variety of fuels. The grate of a stove that is raised designed to burn different fuels is usually designed to allow air circulation underneath the fuel. This is due to certain fuels, like peat and turf briquettes require plenty of air under for them to ignite and burn properly. Most multi-fuel stoves have a secondary airflow that can be shut or opened depending on the fuel type. This helps keep the fire going by supplying a larger amount of air to the stove. It can also improve combustion efficiency. The primary and secondary air flow systems of a stove can be used to alter the height of the flame and the temperature of the fire. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different amounts of heat. By keeping the flame's height and temperature under control you can ensure that your stove runs as efficiently as possible while producing the maximum amount heat. You should also remove the ash from your stove regularly, and store it in a bucket or pan. This will prevent the accumulation of too much ash on the stove grates and stop your fuel from burning properly. You will also need to keep your stove glass clean to avoid any discolouration. You can keep your stove looking new by using a soft, damp scourer along with a product for cleaning your stove. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when cleaning and maintaining your stove in order to avoid damage or causing problems. Low Emission Vehicles The best multi fuel stoves are made to be low emission, which means they burn smokeless coal or a combination of both, with minimal emissions. This is crucial in a smoke-control area like London where you'll need an approved stove by Defra. Only burn approved materials as part of the Ready To Burn Scheme to conform to local regulations. A stove that is approved by Defra will typically come with an automatic fuel supply and air supply control to ensure that the fire burns efficiently. This results in less smoke and a very high level of heat output which is an ideal choice for smaller rooms where the stove is the main focus area. If you reside in a zone of smoke control, it is essential to make use of a Defra approved stove to ensure you adhere to the rules and avoid paying hefty penalties for burning illegally. There are a myriad of Defra approved stoves on the market, but we suggest you to look for an woodburning stove that is also Eco Design 2022 compliant as this will give you more of a view of your flame and also be more energy efficient, too. The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is a great example of a DEFRA-approved Ecodesign stove that offers aesthetics and efficiency. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller spaces. It also has easy-to-use secondary and primary air controls. Its elegant design would work well in both traditional and modern settings. Stovax Blithfield is a different alternative. It's a large-screen with a square-shaped window which gives a great view of the flames. It is available in a number of different colours to complement your decor. The stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be ordered with a clear arched or a Tracery version that has striking Gothic arches to the door. An alternative to a traditional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove that makes use of biomass pellets or wood that has been compressed to provide a highly efficient fire with a high amount of heat output. The pellets, which are comprised of sawdust or other wood products that were rejected, are an eco friendly alternative. The stoves are supplied with a hotplate and an oven, which means they can be used for cooking as well. The standard 6” (150mm) however, still compatible with 5 ½” (125mm) liner, is a common feature. This is a great option in cases where it's difficult to install a 6” (150mm) or if your chimney has some odd bends. Energy Efficiency The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove generates heat that the stove then distributes to the room. It does this either through radiation, where the hot surface of the stove reflects heat into the room or by convection, where it draws cold air from outside, heats it up, and then redirects it back into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output making use of secondary and tertiary air supplies to minimise emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible. One of the best examples is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is Defra and Ecodesign approved. Its large square window provides great views of the flame. Its larger dimensions allow it to be able to fit into chimneys with larger openings. It also has an airwash system that keeps the glass in the interior clear of soot. The stove is available in six different finishes, and you can even include a top plate to cook on. Multifuel stoves are also a great way to burn wood. However, it is important to follow the instructions on your appliance to get the most efficient results. You should also have it regularly inspected by an expert. It is also crucial to choose the right fuel, as each type will burn at different rates and generate a different amount of energy. You'll need to decide if you would like the fire producing a lot heat quickly or if you prefer a long and slow burn that produces warm air. If you reside in a smoke-free area, it's important to know that only DEFRA approved stoves can burn approved wood and smokeless coal. If you try to burn any other kind of fuel, it could result in a huge fine and may harm your stove too. The Defra approved multifuel stoves we have in stock all have 5” (125mm) flue outlets which 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 when you don't need to go as far up the chimney.
