The best Defra approved stoves are those made of hard, dry untreated wood with a moisture content of 20 percent or less. This will ensure that the stove functions effectively and reduce smoke and increase the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means that they have been approved by the EU to be as efficient and clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards of efficiency and emissions than the government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce significantly less smoke than a non-certified stove. This is due to the fact that they were designed to ensure that the fire has an uninterrupted supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary and sometimes even a tertiary air intake. This ensures that the stove is not starved of oxygen during the combustion process and also reduces the amount of black smoke that it emits.

The government has released an Environment Plan draft to help achieve the new air quality goals. The plan is aimed at reducing average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require a reduction in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.
