Many people believe that a DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove will only be able to be used with approved smokeless fuels such as briquettes and firelogs. But this isn't entirely true. In fact so long as you only burn fuels that are approved for burning in your DEFRA stove and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation, you can use most solid fuels in the DEFRA approved stove, which includes wood that has been seasoned.
To get the best results from your DEFRA multifuel stove, you'll have to ensure that you only use dry, seasoned wood with less than 20 percent. Wet wood can cause excessive smoke, which could cause the warranty to be void. Similarly, mineral fuels should have a sulphur level below 2% to avoid excessively thick ash deposits.
