Choosing a Defra Approved Or Smoke Exempt Stove

If you live in a Smoke Controlled area, then choosing a DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt stove is essential. Not only do they conform with building regulations but they also guarantee that you are legally able to burn wood and multi fuels in your home.

Manufacturers of stoves are constantly improving their products, by adding secondary and tertiary systems that reduce emissions.

Defra Approved

If you reside in a smoke control area then you'll need to use a defra approved stove. The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has passed laws prohibiting the release of dark smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled that include the majority of cities and towns. Defra Approved stoves have gone through rigorous testing and examination to ensure that they conform to the law. They are designed to burn fuel efficiently and produce significantly less pollution. They are a better option for you and your neighbors, as the smoke levels will be kept to an acceptable level. Stoves that are Defra Approved will also feature the logo and the words defra exempt or SE (smoke exempt) in their titles and specification.

The majority of wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves we sell are Defra-approved. This is because we try to source the best quality products and we hope that our customers will be in a position to get the most benefit from their stove. The stoves that are Defra-approved are more efficient than non-approved models and produce less particulate matter. This, in turn, reduces the amount of dark smoke produced. Defra approved stoves also have a an extra robust firebox, which is another way in which they can reduce smoke emissions.

In addition to lessening the amount of smoke produced, Defra approved stoves will ensure that there is a constant supply of combustion air throughout the process. This will stop the stove from becoming starved of air, which causes it to smoke or release dark smoke. As they gain popularity the majority of stove manufacturers are now building Defra Approved Models into their product line.

Defra approved stoves aren't only a good option for people who live in smoke control areas, but they are an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to increase the safety and efficiency of their fireplace, and also reduce the amount of toxic substances that are released into the atmosphere. These stoves are also great for those who wish to line their chimney with a flexible stainless twin wall liner made of stainless steel. Since the majority of Defra approved models come with a 5" outlet, this will allow them to be used with a liner of 125mm instead of the standard 6" outlet, which will reduce the cost of the liner and installation.

While some people may choose to sleep on their stove for the night by shutting the top vent and burning it slowly, this can cause the build-up of soot and tar which can block the chimney. A Defra approved stove won't allow you to shut the top vent down completely, as this can cause the fire to cease. It is also less likely that combustibles that have not burned will be released into the air. This is healthier for the environment and less likely to cause your chimney to become blocked.

Defra Exempt

If you're in search of an electric stove that burns wood, you will often come across the term Defra Exempt or DEFRA Approved. This is usually a wood-burning or multi-fuel stove that has been deemed to be utilized in a smoke-controlled area.


This is achieved through these appliances undergoing rigorous tests and examinations to ensure they are operating at the lowest levels of emissions. This is achieved by using secondary combustion, whereby the waste products of the burning process are re-burned to reduce the amount pollutants released into the air. DEFRA Approved Stoves are the best option for those who live in smoke-controlled areas and want to know that their appliance is legal.

Typically, a Defra Exempt stove will be identified by an SE logo or labeled as a DEFRA Stove. This means that the appliance has passed a test developed by the UK government's Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) to demonstrate that it emits very minimal amounts of smoke when used properly. This is why Defra wood-burning stoves are the only ones that are legal to install in Smoke Controlled Zones.

A wood-burning stove that is Defra-approved will keep your chimney and flue clean because they are engineered to provide a cleaner burn of wood than other types. This is due to an advanced combustion system that doesn't restrict airflow into the firebox and allows what's called slumbering. which prevents combustibles that have been partially burned from escaping up your chimney.

Wood burning stoves that are Defra-approved are more energy efficient. This is accomplished by using the latest technology to ensure that as much heat as is possible is taken out of the fuel and then transferred to your room, meaning that you can enjoy lower heating bills as well as a cleaner more secure and environmentally sustainable home.
