What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in a zone of smoke control it is essential to purchase a DEFRA exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove permits you to burn wood legally in a smoke-controlled area.

Many people think that living in a Smoke Control Area means you can't use a wood-burning stove however this isn't true. The majority of towns and cities are within a smoke control zone, but that doesn't mean they can't use a wood burning stove. It just means they have to burn approved fuels in their stove (usually Briquettes). The Defra-approved stove is a wood-burning stove that has been thoroughly tested to make sure that it meets certain standards regarding the emissions it produces when burning approved materials. It can therefore be used legally in areas of smoke control.

The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and a lot of stoves feature the SE after their names to signify that they are smoke-free. To be SE approved, a stove must meet strict emission standards. This means that you can be sure that you're buying the best wood stove that is available.

When you look for a wood burning stove that is Defra exempt or has SE after its name, you'll often discover that the manufacturer has taken care of things like making sure there enough air inlets on the front of the stove to permit full combustion of the fuel, and that the chimney outlet size is adequate to prevent the build-up of soot. This is important as it ensures that smoke from the wood burning stove doesn't escape through the chimney and into your home.

This can be expensive and time-consuming, but it is legally required. Additionally homeowners who sell a house that has a wood stove that is not certified could be subject to clean air tax credits as well as fines.

Modifications are typically made to the base or the underside of the firebox.

There are some manufacturers who produce two different versions of a wood stove: one that is Defra-approved, and the other is not.

Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes could burn any fuel they wanted to, leading to large amounts of smoke emissions. This could cause health problems. To prevent this, Defra established Smoke Control Areas. This meant that homes could not emit smoke in the event that their wood burners or multifuel stoves were approved by Defra for burning only approved substances like manufactured smokeless coke and anthracite.

Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests to prove that they can burn authorised fuels cleanly in a Smoke Control Zone. They achieve this by utilising the most advanced combustion technology that continuously delivers a minimum amount of secondary air to the combustion chamber, so that even when the stove is operating with approved fuels like anthracite or manufactured smokeless coals, it will still be able to meet Defra's regulations for Smoke Control Areas.

They usually have a slightly different grate and air vents, and on gas versions they may have a smaller flue outlet.

Another benefit of an Defra Approved stove is that they'll typically have five" (125mm) flue outlet, which means you can use a smaller stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner, which is cheaper than a standard 6" (150mm) liner.
