While this is a wonderful feature of DEFRA approved multi-fuel stoves, it should be noted that Defra Approved stoves don't provide the same time of burning as stoves that are not Defra approved. This is because a continuous supply of secondary and secondary combustion air is needed to prevent the fuel from burning. This is why, if are planning to use your stove for slumber burning (i.e burning for the night) then the Defra Approved stove cannot extend the fuel supply as as a non-Defra model.

Smoke control regulations

It is essential to use a DEFRA-approved cooking stove in a smoke-controlled space to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are generally urban areas where the population density is higher, typically including large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to ensure the quality of air by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves approved by Defra are compliant with the regulations and have been certified to ensure minimal emissions. This is essential to ensure the safety and health of the people who live in these zones.

It is also important to remember that smoke exempt stoves must only be used with approved fuels, such as dry well-seasoned, well-seasoned firewood. It is against the law to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke control area since they can cause excessive smoke. Burning household waste such as old furniture, pallets or fencing is also illegal as they have likely been treated with chemicals that could release pollutants into the air when burned. To reduce the amount of emissions, it is recommended to choose firewood that has an average moisture content of less than 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is used correctly and prevent excessive emissions. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent option to purchase firewood that is in line with this requirement.
