Emissions reduced

Multi-fuel stoves that have been approved by Defra are not just environmentally friendly, but also help to reduce emissions at home. The main pollutant released by solid fuels, such as wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). These fine particles can get into the lungs, leading to respiratory diseases and heart diseases.

Modern multi-fuel stoves approved by DEFRA are designed to reduce levels of this toxic substance. The Stove Yard offers a variety of stoves that are SIA Ecodesign-compliant and have been rigorously tested to ensure they operate well below the new manufacturing standard of 3g/hour for appliances installed in smoke control zones. We also have a variety of models that are approved by clearSkies, an independent scheme that can offer more reductions in emissions.

If you reside in an area that is under Smoke Control, you should only use seasoned and dried wood to prevent excessive smoke. If you do prefer to use fossil fuels in your multi-fuel stove, there are a variety of alternatives that are smoke-free and will significantly reduce the amount of harmful gases your stove produces.

The most recent DEFRA-approved stoves such as those that we carry, feature the third and second-generation combustion systems that reduce the carbon footprint of the users and air pollution. Using these systems helps to burn more of the volatile gases produced by solid fuels, such as wood, and transform them into heat energy. This means that you can use less of your favourite fuel to get the same amount of heating, meaning that your fuel bills will be lower as well!

Although this is a fantastic feature of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves it is important to note that Defra Approved stoves don't provide the same amount of time for burning as non-DEFRA approved contemporary stoves stoves. This is due to an ongoing supply of secondary and third-party combustion air is required to prevent the fuel from burning. Therefore, if you plan to make use of your stove for sleeping burning (i.e burning for the night) then it is important to choose a Defra Approved stove will not allow you to extend the fuel supply as as a non-DEFRA approved traditional stoves model would.

Compliant with smoke control regulations

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are suitable for use in smoke control areas (check online if your region is one). In smoke control areas the emissions from log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This stops the release of harmful substances into the air that could irritate neighbors and create unhealthy conditions for people living nearby. Making sure you use the DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is essential to avoid fines when the stove is found to be releasing excessive amounts of smoke.

Smoke control zones are generally urban locations where the density of people is higher, usually including large towns and cities. Smoke control regulations are designed to maintain air quality by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Defra has approved multi-fuel stoves as compliant with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure that they produce a minimal amount of emissions. This is vital to ensure the safety and health of people living in these zones.

It is important to note, too, that smoke-free stoves should only be used with approved fuels such as dry, well-seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet wood inside a smoke control zone because they can produce excessive smoke. Burning household waste, such as old furniture, pallets, and fencing is also illegal since they've likely been treated with chemicals that could release pollutants into the air when burned. To reduce the amount of emissions, it is best to choose firewood with less than 20%. This will ensure that the stove is operated correctly and prevent excessive emissions. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent choice for purchasing firewood that is in line with this requirement.

A DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove will be able to burn a variety of kinds of fuels, meaning you can enjoy a cosy fire throughout the year without the need to replace the chimney system. It is important to remember, however, that your stove needs regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure it functions effectively. If you neglect to maintain your stove regularly it will not be as efficient in reducing emissions and could even harm the flue system or chimney.
