What Fuels Can Be Burned in a DEFRA-Approved Stove

A DEFRA approved stove (sometimes called a Defra Smoke Exempt Appliance) is a wood burning stove that has passed the stringent tests required by Defra to limit the amount of smoke it creates. If you reside in a UK city or large town that is classified as a smoke control zone it is an obligation of law to only make use of a Defra approved stove or risk breaking the law and being punished. Even if you don't reside in a zone of smoke control, using a Defra approved stove is recommended to ensure that your chimney and flue system is cleaner for longer.

Stove makers like Arada, Burley Parkray & Stovax are striving to develop clean burn technology. This has led to the creation of Defra-approved stoves which not only limit toxic pollutants in the air, but also reduce the amount smoke produced when burning. Defra approved appliances now feature secondary and tertiary systems that reduce emissions and help burn fuel more efficiently. They are also more environmentally friendly.

It is crucial to know that a Defra-approved stove can burn wood as well as manufactured solid fuels such as coal fires, household coal and high petroleum-based fuels and Petrol Coke. However it is important to be cautious with the type of firewood you use. It is illegal to burn damp or wet firewood in a DEFRA approved stove since it produces excessive nuisance smoke that will cause a disturbance to your neighbors and cause fire hazards within your home.

We suggest that when buying wood for your Defra approved fireplace, you purchase only splits and logs that are dry and properly seasoned. We also recommend that you only purchase firewood with the 'Ready To Burn' logo, this signifies that the wood has been treated with low moisture content to prevent excessive smoke production.

The majority of Defra approved wood-burning stoves don't provide the option of burning smokeless coke. However, there are some excellent traditional styled models that look stunning with or without a mantle or surround. Having a DEFRA approved stove allows you to use a 5" (125mm) wide stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner that is a less expensive alternative to the standard 6" (150mm) and can be a fantastic option if your chimney stack is quite old or has some awkward bends along its route.

It's important to note here that non-Defra stoves can still be installed within smoke controlled areas but they must only be used to ignite authorised fuels such as anthracite. If you intend to use them to burn various types of wood or other solid fuels that are flammable they may emit excessive smoke, which could result in a fire violation being issued.


Stoves that have been approved by Defra will often display the Defra Logo on their product description. They may also be being referred to as SE (smoke exempt) or simply as DEFRA stoves by their makers.
