Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas

Many people think that living in a Smoke Control Area means you can't have a stove that burns wood but this isn't the case. Most cities and large towns are in the smoke control zone, but that doesn't mean they can't use a wood burning stove. It just means they must burn authorised fuels in their stove (usually brquettes). The stove that is Defra-approved is a wood-burning stove that has been rigorously tested to ensure that it meets certain standards in terms of the emissions it generates when burning authorised materials. It is therefore able to be used legally in areas of smoke control.

The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and many stoves are marked with the SE after their names to indicate that they are smoke-free. To be able to be SE approved it must meet strict criteria with regards to its emissions, so you can be sure that if you choose a stove that is defra exempt, you will get the most clean and best burning wood stove available.

This is crucial as it helps to ensure that the smoke from the stove doesn't escape the chimney and enter your home.

This is due to the fact that DEFRA regulations stoves approved appliances must pass extremely rigorous tests and have a limit on the amount of smoke they can produce.

To ensure that these limitations are maintained during testing the stove will have to be able to limit the combustion air supply so that it does not exhaust itself of oxygen, which can cause it to smolder. This is achieved through a mechanism within the stove that opens the air into the firebox during combustion, which is typically hidden within the stove and beneath the base of the firebox.

The reason behind this is that the cost of putting a stove through the rigorous Defra testing is costly. To offset these costs, they will sell the non-approved version at a cheaper price. The DEFRA-approved version has been subjected to the modification of the combustion air as part of the testing procedure.

Approved for Gas

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes were able to burn any fuel they wanted to, resulting in large amounts of smoke emissions. This caused health problems. To combat this Defra established Smoke Control Areas which meant that residential homes could not emit any smoke from their wood burners or multifuel stoves unless the appliance was luxury DEFRA stoves approved to burn only approved fuels like manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite.

Defra approved stoves, also referred to as SE (Smoke Exempt) Stoves, have gone through rigorous tests to prove that they can cleanly burn authorized fuels within a Smoke Control Area. They achieve this by utilising the latest combustion technology which continually delivers a minimum amount of secondary air to the firebox, so that even if the stove is operating with authorised fuels such as anthracite or manufactured smokeless coals, it will still be able to meet DEFRA stoves reviews's regulations for Smoke Control Areas.
