Defra Approved Log Burner

The Defra-approved log burning device is a favorite choice for homeowners. This is mainly due the fact that they provide an easier burn and provide greater control over heating expenses.

You can also burn wood legally in Smoke Control Areas, which is an enormous benefit because it lets you avoid fines that are imposed on those who are using stoves that are not approved. They come in many different styles to suit any home.

Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology in defra approved log burners can reduce the amount of smoke and particulate emitted during combustion. It has been shown that this technology can reduce the negative health effects of poor air in urban areas. This is particularly true when using a wood-burning stove or fireplace. The city of Bergen for instance realized the importance of taking effective measures to improve their air quality and, as a result, old non-cleanburn stoves are now banned in the city. The trade-in program was a huge success. Bergen ranked fifth among the 320 European cities in 2021 for its air quality.

To achieve this, stoves that are Defra-approved are designed to ensure that the fire always gets enough oxygen to ignite and burn fuel. This is accomplished by having an additional air feed which allows extra combustion air to flow into the appliance in addition to the primary and/or the main air intake. The typical secondary air intake is located at the back of the stove under or inside the fire box, while a tertiary air intake will be situated in the middle.

These modern, Defra exempt stoves have been through rigorous tests to be able to legally burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is only possible if the stove is used with wood that has been dried and seasoned. kiln dried to less than 20% moisture.

A stove that is approved by Defra will have been tested for the capacity to emit only 3g of smoke per hour, which is the legal limitation in most UK towns and city. If a stove emits excess emissions, the owner can be punished up to PS300.

A Defra approved stove will be identified as such on the product and will also bear an Ecodesign label, which came into force in 2022. Ecodesign-compliant stoves have to pass stringent emissions tests and have an efficiency rating of at 72% or more. A stove with a higher efficiency rating will further help reduce the amount of air pollution generated by the stove while also saving money on heating expenses.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable
