Emissions reduced Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by Defra are not just environmentally friendly but also help reduce emissions at home. The primary pollutant emitted by solid fuels like wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). These fine particles can penetrate the lungs and cause respiratory illnesses or even heart disease. Thankfully, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have been designed to cut levels of this harmful gas. The majority of the stoves available here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have undergone rigourous testing to ensure that they operate well below the new manufacturing limit of 3g/hour smoke emission for appliances that are installed in Smoke Control Areas.

If you reside in an area that is under Smoke Control, you should only use seasoned and dried wood to prevent excessive smoke. If you want to make use of fossil fuels in your multifuel stove, there is a wide range of smokeless alternatives that can help reduce the amount harmful gases the stove emits. The latest DEFRA approved stoves, including those we carry, provide an additional and tertiary burning system to further reduce users' carbon footprint and pollution levels. The use of these systems allows you to burn more volatile gases produced by solid fuels, such as wood, and convert them into heat energy. You'll make use of less fuel to reach the same heating level, which will reduce the cost of fuel. This is a wonderful feature However, it's important keep in mind that Defra approved stoves do not have the same time to burn as non-Defra approved stoves. recommended DEFRA stoves is due to the continuous supply of secondary and tertiary combustion air is required to keep the fuel from smouldering. As such, if you intend to make use of your stove for slumber burning (i.e overnight burning) then a Defra Approved stove won't allow you to extend the fuel supply as much as a non-Defra model. Smoke control regulations DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are suitable for use in smoke control areas (check online if the area you live in is one of them). In these areas, stricter restrictions have been placed on the emissions from log stoves to prevent nuisance smoke. This helps to prevent the release into the air of harmful substances that could irritate neighbors or cause health issues for those living nearby. Making sure you use an DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free zone is crucial to avoid being fined in the event that the stove is found to be emitting excessive quantities of smoke. Smoke control zones are typically urban areas with a high population density, like large towns and cities. The main purpose of smoke control regulations is to preserve standards for air quality by limiting the emission of particulates in the air. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves are compliant with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure that they produce minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensure the safety and health for people who live in these areas. It is also important to keep in mind that smoke-free stoves should only be used with authorized fuels like dry well-seasoned, well-seasoned firewood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke-control area because they can create excessive smoke. Burning household waste like old furniture, pallets or fencing is also illegal since they are likely to have been treated with chemicals that could release toxins into the air when they are burned. Choose firewood that has a moisture content of 20% or less is recommended to prevent excessive emissions and to ensure that the stove is used in a safe manner. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great option to purchase firewood keeping this need in mind.
