These fine particles can get into the lungs, causing respiratory ailments and even heart diseases.
Thankfully, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves are engineered to reduce the amount of this dangerous gas. Most of the stoves featured here at The Stove Yard are SIA Ecodesign Ready and have passed rigorous tests to ensure they operate far below the new manufacturing limit of 3g/hour smoke emission for appliances installed in Smoke Control Areas.

These systems help to convert more volatile gases from solid fuels such as wood into heat energy. You'll use less fuel to achieve the same temperature which can lower your expenses for fuel.
While this is a wonderful feature of
DEFRA approved efficient stoves approved multi-fuel stoves, it is important to know that Defra Approved stoves do not provide the same amount of time for burning as non-Defra stoves. This is because an ongoing supply of secondary and secondary combustion air is needed to prevent the flame from burning. This is why, if intend to make use of your stove for sleeping burning (i.e overnight burning), a Defra Approved stove won't allow you to extend the fuel supply as as a non-Defra model could.

DEFRA approved wood-burning stoves can be used in smoke-control zones (check online to determine if you live in one). In areas with smoke control, log burner emissions are restricted to prevent nuisance smoke. This stops the release into the air of pollutants that could upset neighbours or create unhealthy conditions for people living close to. Using an DEFRA approved stove in a smoke controlled area is essential to avoid fines when the stove is found to be releasing excessive quantities of smoke.

high Quality stoves by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves are conforming to these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure that they produce a minimal amount of emissions. This is vital to ensure the safety and health of those living in these zones.
It is important to remember, too, that smoke-free stoves can only be used in conjunction with approved fuels such as dry and well-seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn wet or damp fuels in a smoke control area as these can cause excessive smoke. It is illegal to burn household waste, such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals which can release toxins when burned. Selecting firewood with an moisture content of 20% or less is recommended to prevent excessive emissions and to ensure that the stove is operating properly. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great option to purchase firewood with this requirement in mind.
