Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra-approved log burner is a preferred option for homeowners. This is due to the fact that they have a cleaner burning and offer greater control of heating costs.

You can also burn wood legally in Smoke Control Areas, which is a major benefit since it lets you avoid the fines imposed on people who use stoves that are not approved. They come in many styles that will fit in with any type of home.

Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology is employed in log burners that have been approved by the defra to reduce the amount and kind of particles and smoke released. It has been demonstrated that this technology can help reduce the adverse health effects of poor air quality in urban areas. This is particularly relevant when using a wood-burning stove or fireplace. The city of Bergen for instance realized the importance of taking effective measures to improve their air quality and as a result older stoves that are not cleanburn are now banned in the city. This trade-in scheme was a success, with Bergen placed fifth among 320 European cities in terms of air quality in 2021.

To achieve this, stoves that are Defra-approved are designed to ensure that the flame gets enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is achieved with a secondary air feed or tertiary intake, which allows combustion air to enter the appliance in addition to the primary and/or main air intake. Typically, a secondary feed is located on the back of the stove under or DEFRA Recognized Stoves inside the stove's fire box and a tertiary air intake is located in the middle.

These modern Defra-exempt stoves have passed rigorous tests and can burn wood in smoke Control Areas. This is only possible in the event that the stove is used with wood that has been seasoned and dried at a temperature of less than 20 percent moisture.

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 many UK towns and cities. If a stove produces excessive emissions, the owner can be fined up to PS300.

A stove that is Defra-approved will have a Defra mark on it, and also an Ecodesign label. This will come into the market in 2022. To be Ecodesign compatible, stoves have to be able to pass rigorous emissions tests and have an efficiency level of 72 percent. A stove with a high efficiency rating will reduce the amount pollution produced by it, and will save you money on heating bills.

Suitable for Smoke Control Areas

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

They are more clean burning and environmentally friendly than the old-fashioned log burners. Leading manufacturers like Arada, Burley, Parkray & Stovax are continuing to improve their products and are currently developing models with secondary and secondary combustion systems that reduce emissions. These advanced burners will save you money over the long run on fuel costs.

DEFRA approved, or Defra exempt are terms used to indicate that the stove has passed a UK Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs test. This test ensures that the stove can be used safely in smoke controlled areas. The term DEFRA stoves disadvantages Exempt can also be applied to certain models that have passed the test and can be used to burn approved smokeless fuels that are listed on a list provided by DEFRA recognized stoves. These fuels are not compatible with wood.

You could face a fine for using an older stove that isn't DEFRA approved in a smoke-controlled area. You can check if you are in a smoke-control area by visiting the official Defra website.

Easy to Clean

Keeping your log burner clean is crucial to ensure its efficiency and decrease the build up of harmful creosote that can cause chimney fires. Regular cleaning will ensure that the glass of your stove remains clean and clear, so you can enjoy a beautiful fire view without obstruction.

There are many tools you can use to assist in the care of your wood stove such as cleaning brushes and ash vacuum cleaner as well as polish for your stove. It is crucial to carry out the cleaning process while your stove is cool, and we suggest wearing heat-resistant gloves.

First, employ the grate brush to remove any ash that has built up on the bottom of the stove. Be sure to reach all crevices and corners. Then, you can utilize your ash cleaner to clean any ashes that remain from the stove and dispose of them in a metal container. Once your stove has been thoroughly cleaned it is possible to apply a soft cloth to apply the stove cleaner. Be careful not to touch the hot surface.

To ensure that you don't produce high levels of particles, it's important to burn only quality and seasoned logs in your defra-approved log burner. When choosing your firewood, look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo or use a moisture meter to determine if the moisture content is below 20%. You can also season your own logs but it may take up to 2 years for the moisture content to evaporate.

Avoid burning painted, stained or treated with chemicals (including pallets, MDF, and Medium Density Fiberboard). These materials release harmful chemicals when they are burned, and should not be burned on a log stove.

The correct installation of your log burner is crucial for maintaining its performance and effectiveness. Install it by a professional in a well-ventilated location, away from drafts. Stoves that are not installed correctly can be dangerous and cause damage, in addition to reducing its performance and increasing operating costs.

Energy Efficient

Defra approved log burners are typically more energy efficient than other stoves. The reason is that they have passed the tests to ensure that the correct amount of air is provided to the wood stoves or fuel burning stoves during combustion. This helps to reduce the amount of smoke that is produced and reduces the emissions and heat loss from the stove.

You can be sure that a defra-exempt wood burner is safe to use with your chimney system, because it has a flue diameter of 5" (150mm). Non-Defra approved stoves have a larger chimney outlet, which could cause problems when installing an chimney liner. The Stove Yard offers a range 5" chimney liners to fit your multi-fuel or wood exempted stove.

The majority of the stoves we sell at The Stove Yard are Defra approved and feature the latest clean burning technology. A majority of our models come with secondary and tertiary air feeds to ensure that the fuel burns effectively. This increases the efficiency of the stove as well as reduce the amount of smoke produced.

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