Reduced emissions

The main pollutant emitted when burning solid fuels such as wood and coal is ultra-fine particulate matter commonly referred to as PM2.5. These fine particles can get into the lungs, causing respiratory illnesses and heart diseases.

Thankfully, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves have been designed to reduce the amount of this dangerous gas.

The latest DEFRA-approved stoves, such as those that we carry, feature a secondary and third-generation combustion system that reduces carbon footprint of users and air pollution. These systems help to burn more of the volatile gases generated by solid fuels such as wood, and convert them into heat energy. You'll make use of less fuel to reach the same temperature which can lower your fuel bills.

This is an excellent feature however, it's important to note that Defra approved stoves don't offer the same time to burn as stoves that aren't Defra approved. This is due to the fact that an ongoing supply of secondary and secondary combustion air is needed to keep the fuel from smouldering. If you plan to make use of the stove for sleep burn (i.e. overnight burning) then it is important to choose a DEFRA Approved stylish stoves Approved model will not allow you extend your fuel supply to the same extent as the non Defra model.

Smoke control regulations

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are suitable for use in smoke control zones (check online if your area is one of them). In smoke control areas the emissions of log burners are restricted to prevent nuisance smoke. This stops the release into the air of pollutants that could irritate neighbors or create unhealthy conditions for people living close to. It is crucial to use a DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-controlled area to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are typically urban areas where the population density is higher, usually including large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are designed to protect the air quality by limiting particulate emissions to the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are in compliance with the regulations and have been certified to ensure minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensure the health and safety for those living in these areas.

It is important to remember, too, that smoke-free stoves can only be used with approved fuels, such as dry well-seasoned, properly seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke control area as these can cause excessive smoke. Burning household waste such as old furniture, pallets, and fencing is also prohibited as they've likely been treated with chemicals that could release pollutants into the air when burned. Selecting firewood with an moisture content of 20 percent or less is recommended to avoid excessive emissions and ensure that the stove is operating properly. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent option to purchase firewood that meets this requirement.
