Choosing a Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stove

If you live in a zone that is smoke control, you must use a wood burning stove or multi-fuel stove that is approved by DEFRA. These are also known as Defra Exempt appliances and will allow you to use approved coal and smokeless logs, without producing nuisance smoke.

Defra Approved

DEFRA Approved stoves and log burners are essential for anyone who lives in a Smoke Control Area of the UK. Defra approved appliances have been tested to ensure that they produce minimal smoke. They also pass strict emissions tests and meet the requirements of the government for the Clean Air Act. DEFRA approved appliances are manufactured and designed in a manner that they can efficiently burn wood which results in a minimal amount of smoke. This is accomplished by ensuring that the stove has enough combustible flow. Here at Bowland Stoves we offer a range of modern and traditional DEFRA approved wood-burning stoves in different styles.

Clean Burning Technology

A multi fuel stove is an excellent option for homeowners who would like to utilize a wood-burning stove but don't have enough area to store logs. These stoves are able to be filled with logs or manufactured fuels, such as peat and coal. These stoves are usually capable of combusting both of these types of fuel 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 various fuels is generally designed to allow air circulation under the fuel. This is because certain fuels, like peat briquettes or turf briquettes, require a huge amount of air to ignite and burn. Many multi fuel stoves come with an additional air flow that can be shut or opened according to the type of fuel you're using. This helps keep the fire going by supplying a larger amount of air into the stove, and will also improve combustion efficiency.

The primary and secondary airflow systems in a fireplace can be used to regulate flame height and temperature. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates and generate different amounts of heat. Keeping the flame at a reasonable temperature and height will ensure that your stove is operating as efficiently as it can and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

Finally, you'll need to regularly remove ash from your stove and then store it in an ash pan or bucket. This will stop too much ash from accumulating on the grate bars of your stove and also preventing the fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, fen.gku.an.gx.r.ku.ai8...u.k must keep the stove glass clean. Utilizing a damp scourer and a special cleaning product designed for stoves will ensure that your stove is looking new. To avoid any harm or issues it is crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer when cleaning and maintaining your oven.

Low Emissions

The best multi fuel stoves are designed to be low-emission which means that they burn smokeless coal or a combination of both with minimal emissions. This is especially important in areas that have smoke control like London where you would have to select a Defra approved stove and only use authorised fuels that are part of the Ready To Burn scheme to conform to local regulations and keep the air fresh.

Typically, a Defra approved stove will have an automatic fuel feed and an air supply control to ensure the fire burns at highest efficiency. This results in less smoke and a very high amount of heat output, which is a good idea in smaller spaces where the stove is the main focus point.

If you reside in a smoke-control zone it is essential to choose a stove that is Defra-approved to ensure you're in compliance with the rules. This will allow you to avoid paying hefty fines if you burn illegally. There are many approved stoves by Defra available, but we suggest that you select a woodburning fireplace that is Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will give you an easier view of the flame, and be more efficient.

The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is an excellent example of an approved DEFRA Ecodesign stove that provides aesthetics and efficiency. Its compact size is ideal for smaller spaces and has easy to use primary and secondary air controls. Its elegant design can be found in both traditional and modern settings.

Another alternative is the Stovax Blithfield which is a widescreen stove with large windows that gives excellent flame views. It comes in a number of different colors to match your decor. The stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be purchased with a clear arched 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 fire that is very efficient. The pellets are made from scrap materials like sawdust and other wood products, which makes it a green option. The stoves come with a hotplate as well as an oven, so they can be used for cooking also. They typically have a larger flue outlet than the standard 6" (150mm) but they can still be used with a 5" (125mm) liner for safety reasons. This is a great option when it's hard to install a 6" (150mm) or if your chimney has some unusual bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove generates heat that the stove then distributes to the room. This is done either by radiation, in which the hot surface of a multifuel stove radiates heat back into the room or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, warms it up and then directs it towards the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve maximum efficiency, using secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and burn fuel efficiently.

Stovax Go Eco 5-kW widescreen multifuel Stove is an excellent example. It is approved by both Defra as well as Ecodesign. The large, square-shaped window offers great views of the flame, and its wider size allows it to be able to fit into chimneys with larger openings. It also features an airwash system that keeps the internal glass clear of soot. The stove has a choice of six finishes. It can even be fitted with a top plate so you can cook on it as well.

Multifuel stoves are also a very efficient way to make use of wood, but you will need to adhere to the instructions of your appliance to get the best results and make sure that it is regularly checked by a professional. It is also crucial to select the correct fuel, since each will burn at different rates and generate the same amount of energy. You will have to decide if you want the fire to generate a lot of heat quickly or prefer a long and slow burn that generates a warm atmosphere.

If you live in a smoke controlled area, it is important to be aware that only DEFRA approved stoves can be used to burn authorised wood and smokeless coal. You could be fined a lot of money if you burn any other fuel. Your stove could also be damaged.

The Defra approved multifuel stoves we have in stock all feature 5" (125mm) flue outlets that can be fitted to an existing chimney stack or flue system. This is a cheaper alternative to installing a stainless steel dual wall liner.
