Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra-approved log burner is a preferred choice for homeowners. This is due to the fact that they provide a cleaner burn and offer greater control over heating expenses.

They also permit you to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas which is an important benefit as it can avoid the fines imposed against people who use stoves that aren't approved. They are available in a variety of different styles to suit any home.

Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology is used in log burners that are approved by the defra to reduce the amount and types of particles and smoke released. It has been proven to significantly reduce the health impacts of poor air quality in urban areas, particularly when a traditional wood-burning stove or fireplace is used. Bergen is a prime example. The city recognized the necessity of implementing measures to improve air quality. As a result, non-cleanburn stoves have been prohibited in the city. The program to trade in stoves was a huge success. Bergen ranked fifth among the 320 European cities in 2021 when it came to its air quality.

To achieve this, stoves that are Defra-approved have been designed to ensure that the flame has enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is achieved by having an additional air intake that allows for additional combustion air to be injected into the appliance in addition to the main air intake. A secondary air intake is usually located at the back of the appliance in the interior or under the fire box.

Modern stoves are exempt from DEFRA approved low emission stoves tests and are able to burn wood legally in Smoke Control Areas. This is provided the correct kind of wood that is seasoned and dried to less than 20% moisture content. It is used in conjunction with a DEFRA approved traditional stoves approved stove.

A Defra approved stove has been tested to be able to emit no more than 3g of smoke per hour which is the legal limit for most UK towns and cities. If the stove is found emit excessive emissions, the owner could be fined a sum of PS300 or more.

A Defra approved stove will be branded as an approved product on the product and will also have an Ecodesign mark, which was put into effect in 2022. To be Ecodesign compliant, stoves must pass strict emissions tests and must have an efficiency level of 72 percent. Selecting a stove that has an efficiency rating that is higher will help to further reduce the amount of air pollution generated by the stove while also saving money on heating bills.

Suitable for Smoke Control Areas

The UK government has set strict emission limits for fireplaces and stoves. The government wants to make the country cleaner and healthier. Many large towns and city homes are located within Smoke Control Areas, where the production of dark smoke can be a source of irritation for residents. If you have an older wood-burning stove or open fire and live in a smoke control zone, it is important to upgrade your appliances to Defra-approved Log Burners.

These are more environmentally friendly than traditional log burners and have the most modern clean burning technology. Leading manufacturers such as Arada, Burley Parkray & Stovax continue to develop their products, and also create models that have secondary and tertiary systems to further reduce emissions. These advanced burners are more efficient than their competitors and could reduce your fuel costs in the long term.

DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves approved or Defra Exempt are words that indicate that the stove has passed a test designed by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs in the UK.

Easy to Clean

Cleaning your log burner is essential to help maintain its efficiency and prevent the build up of harmful creosote that can cause chimney fires. Regular cleaning can also ensure that your stove glass stays clean and clear so you can take in the view of a stunning fire without having to worry about obstructions.

There are a number of tools that you could need to help with the maintenance of your wood stove such as cleaning brushes, ash vacuum cleaner and stove polish. It is essential to complete the cleaning process while your stove is cool, and we suggest wearing gloves that resist heat.

First, use the grate brush to get rid of any ash that has built up on the bottom of the stove. Be sure to reach all crevices and corners. Then you can make use of your ash vacuum cleaner to clean any ashes that remain from the stove and dispose of them in a metal container. After your stove has been thoroughly cleaned, you can use a soft cloth to apply an oven cleaner. Be careful not to touch the hot surface.

It is crucial to burn quality, seasoned wood on your defra-approved log burner to ensure that you are not producing large amounts of particulates. Look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn Logo or use a moisture meter to make sure that the moisture content of the wood is below 20 percent. Seasoning your own logs is an option, however it can take as long as two years for the moisture to evaporate.

It is best to avoid burning painted, stained or treated with chemicals (this includes pallets, MDF and Medium Density Fibreboard). These types of wood produce dangerous chemicals when burned and are not suitable for burning in a log burner.

A proper installation of your log burner is vital to maintaining its performance and efficiency. Install it by a professional and in a well-ventilated space and free of drafts. Stoves installed incorrectly can cause damage, in addition to reducing its performance and increasing operating costs.

Energy efficient

Log burners with Defra approval are generally more energy efficient than their competitors. This is because they have passed the tests that ensure that the correct amount of air is pumped to the wood or multi fuel burning stove during combustion. This reduces the amount of smoke that is produced and consequently, reduces heat loss and emissions from the stove.

When you purchase a wood burner that is exempt from defra you can also be assured that it will be safe for use with your chimney as it will have an outlet size of 5" (150mm).

The Stove Yard offers a range 5" chimney liners to fit your multi-fuel or wood exempted stove.

A majority of our models come with secondary and tertiary air sources to help ensure that the fuel burns efficiently. This increases the efficiency of the stove as well as reduce the amount of smoke that is produced.

Another benefit of having a Defra approved log burner is that it will allow you to legally use it in a Smoke Control Area. UK cities and large towns are classified as Smoke Control Areas and in order to be legally compliant, you must use a DEFRA-approved appliance when burning smokeless coal or wood.
