Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra wood stoves we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready'. This means they have been checked to be as efficient as possible and as clean burning as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies" scheme.

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it will produce significantly less smoke than an uncertified stove. This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is achieved by having a secondary and sometimes a third, air intake. This stops the stove from being deprived of air during the combustion process and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke it releases.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particulate pollution than the previous models. This is crucial, as particulate pollution can get into the bloodstream. They then travel throughout the body, and eventually lodged in the lungs and heart. This can lead to serious health problems including premature death.

The EU is determined to reduce pollution from all sources, despite fact that newer models produce less harmful pollutant. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory problems.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help achieve the new air quality goals. The plan aims to reduce the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in domestic fuel emissions, including wood stoves.

To accomplish this it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that are not certified in smoke control zones.

Some stoves have their top air controls modified to stop it from being closed completely. Closing the air supply to a log burner will starve it of oxygen which impedes its combustion and produces black smoke.

Stoves that are DEFRA approved allow you to burn wood using 5" liner, while stoves that aren't approved by DEFRA require an 6" flue liner. This is too large for many UK chimneys.

A Defra wood-burning stove can be more eco-friendly than earlier models or open fires.
