These stoves are made to produce less smoke and harmful emissions when burning fuel. This helps to protect the environment. However, they also help to save on energy costs in a way other kinds of wood burners or open fire cannot. This is because these stoves have higher combustion rates, which means that they can produce more heat while using the same amount of fuel.

A DEFRA stove will always offer the bare minimum of combustion air to ensure that the fuel is burning properly and efficiently, without releasing excess smoke.

Multi-Fuel Stoves Defra Approved

The kit provided by the manufacturer can be used to alter certain stoves to ensure that they are approved by the Defra. The kit restricts the amount the vents on the airways are shut during the burning process. If you are someone who likes to load a stove and put it to sleep to allow for a longer burn, this is referred to as'slumber-burning'. when the stove is being starved of oxygen the flames may burn less and produce more part-burned combustibles such as tar and soot that can cause blockages in the flue. A Defra-approved stove does not slumber, so it is less likely to release this material into the air. This also means that if the stove is switched from solid fuel to smokeless for overnight burning, a certain amount will always be delivered.
