Why Is Everyone Talking About Stoves Defra Right Now
Multi Fuel Stoves - Are They DEFRA Approved?

It is important that you be aware of all regulations prior to buying an appliance that is new. This includes making sure that your stove is DEFRA approved for use in smoke control areas for wood burning and approved smokeless coal.

The stoves come with separate air controls that supply the proper amount of air for secondary and primary combustion. They also have an the ash pan to make cleaning easier.

Clean Burn Technology

Multi fuel stoves are designed to work with a variety of different materials, in addition to logs. Turf, smokeless fuels, peat briquettes, anthracite, and other substances can be used. These types of fuels produce less harmful emissions than logs. Many of our multifuel stoves feature clean burn technology, which reduces the amount of particulate matter produced during combustion. Clean burn is also used to refer to other specific technologies that decrease emissions, like pre-heated secondary air or Ecodesign Ready.

Many of our multifuel stoves have a raised grate or a central grate with asphan below it. This allows for optimal combustion conditions. This ensures the combustion process produces as little black smoke as possible during operation. This permits the removal of ash at the bottom of the stove, which can be buried in an asphan below.

If you reside in a Smoke Control Area, it's important to purchase a Defra exempt wood burning or multi fuel stove that is Defra approved. This ensures that you will be able to use the stove legally, provided that it is only burning 'authorised fuels' (as per DEFRA guidelines). The reason is that non-Defra approved stoves are susceptible to slumbering, an issue where the combustion system can become starved of oxygen which can result in the formation of black smoke. Defra approved stoves (or Defra exempt wood burners) have been tested and verified to reduce the risk of slumbering which gives you the peace of mind that your stove will always be clean and efficient when operated correctly.

Modern multi-fuel stoves, such as the Stovax Stovax Stockton 3 have a contemporary design, with smooth surfaces and clean lines that complement any space. The stoves are available in a range of colours and finishes, including matte black for a timeless look that is compatible with a variety of interior colour schemes. Other popular options include the neutral grey and creamy finishes as well as striking colors such as blue or red that could make a statement in any space.

Defra Approved

Stoves that are DEFRA approved (also called SE or Smoke Exempt) can be used in regions of the UK which are designated as smoke controlled. This includes many cities, large towns and urban areas. You could be fined if you live in an area where you burn fuel or wood that is not approved. Stoves that are DEFRA certified provide the required amount of air to ensure efficient combustion. This means that they emit very little or no nuisance smoke.

To receive the Defra approval stoves must be tested for emissions and efficiency. The Defra Logo is easily recognizable on stoves and manufacturers' websites. Many stove manufacturers are enhancing their products by adding secondary and tertiary combustion systems that help to reduce emissions. This makes their stoves eco friendly and allows them to be used with a wider range of fuels.

Always verify if the stove is DEFRA-approved prior purchasing a brand new wood or multi-fuel stove. This is especially important if you reside in a zone of smoke control. If you purchase a stove that's not DEFRA approved even if it could be used with authorised smokeless fuels such as briquettes or anthracite ovals, you will still be producing an unnatural smoke and are in violation of the law.

DEFRA approved stoves have an adjustment at the top vent to prevent it from closing all the way. This stops you from starving the stove of oxygen that will slow down its combustion and cause it to smoulder. The more smouldering takes place, the more smoke will be produced and the less efficient the stove will burn. It is also recommended to only make use of dry seasoned hardwood and only smokeless fuels that are approved in the DEFRA approved stove. Using damp wood or other wet fuels will create excessive smoke and cause annoyance to neighbours. This is not just illegal, but can result in expensive fines. If you are looking to purchase an all-fuel stove that is DEFRA approved then you must have it installed by an engineer to ensure that it complies with all the relevant building regulations.

Smoke Control Areas

Smoke Control Areas in the UK are mostly located in towns and large cities where excessive smoke can be an issue for local residents. If you live in an area that is smoke-free and you are not allowed to burn unapproved fuels on open fires or wood-burning stoves unless the appliance is listed as exempt. Defra approved multi-fuel and wood burning stoves are equipped with the latest combustion technology that prevents part-burned combustibles going up your chimney, making them an ideal choice for your smoke controlled property.

DEFRA approval means your appliance has been tested to ensure it can burn all fuels that are approved without producing excess smoke. This is accomplished by providing the right amount of air to the combustion process in order to ensure that the combustibles remain in the best condition. For this reason, Defra approved wood burning stoves are also more sustainable and less likely to block your chimney.

Defra approved wood stoves are an excellent choice for homes that have smoke controls. They are a safe and safe way to heat your home while still complying with the requirements of the government. Whether you are seeking a traditional or contemporary stove, we have an array of wood and multi-fuel stoves that are DEFRA approved and suitable for use in smoke-control areas.

A Defra-approved stove has a list with exclusions which explains which fuels are allowed to be burned in a smoke control area. This will be predominantly wood (properly seasoned) but could also include household smokeless fuels like natural anthracite.

All of our Defra approved stoves for wood-burning and multi-fuel come with a certificate of compliance from the manufacturer, and a comprehensive user guide and installation instructions to help you get your new stove installed and running in a safe manner. It is recommended that you have your fireplace installed and maintained by a certified HETAS engineer in order to guarantee that the work is done in accordance with building standards.


Dovre offers a wide selection of accessories for your brand new wood-burning or multi-fuel stove that include log baskets, mesh guards and flue liner. For more information about our products, contact your nearest Dovre retailer.

Energy Efficiency

Multi-fuel stoves are an eco-friendly choice since they can run on multiple fuels. Modern multi-fuel stoves are designed to achieve optimal combustion, meaning they can warm your home at a lower cost. They can also be used as a complement to your central heating system, and can reduce emissions.

Energy-efficient stoves can dramatically reduce your heating bills and help you reduce your utility bills. They are more efficient in fuel usage than traditional wood-burning models and come in a range of energy outputs ranging from 5kW up to 8.5kW.

Selecting a multi-fuel stove that has triple burn technology can help to enhance its efficiency. The triple burn technology employs three stages to ensure that every bit of fuel is combusted completely, leading to greater efficiency in heating and lower emissions.

Many people choose a multi-fuel stove because it allows them to be more flexible in terms of fuel choice. This is a great feature for those living in smoke controlled areas because it permits the stove to burn wood and smokeless coal. You should only use the fuels that are recommended by the manufacturer of your stove. Do not burn household waste or wood that has been painted or treated.

When you purchase a multi-fuel stove, you should make sure it is appropriate for your home and that it has the proper flue outlet. Also, make sure that the chimney or flue system is in good condition and that there is sufficient clearance around it (known as the distance from combustion sources) to ensure safety.

Multi-fuel stoves come in a variety of styles that will suit any decor. Some are available in vibrant colors like red or blue, while others feature enamel coatings and metallic finishes which can create an industrial, modern style to your home. You can find stoves that come with built-in log storage, like the ACR Malvern Log Store and Mendip Woodland Log Store. This is a great way to store firewood.

While a multi-fuel stove can be more versatile than a wood burning stove you must make sure that it complies with the strict guidelines that are set by DEFRA to avoid generating unpleasant smoke. If you use the stove that doesn't meet these guidelines, you may be fined. Always follow DEFRA list stoves included in the manual of your stove.
