Efficient Combustion

The wood-burning stoves of DEFRA stoves advantages employ the latest combustion technologies to ensure an efficient and clean burning. They do this by ensuring that the fire is not being depleted of oxygen. This means that any combustibles that aren't fully burned won't escape up the chimney and into the air where they can pollute the air.

The most effective Defra approved stoves are ones made from hard, dry untreated wood with 20% moisture% or lower. This will ensure that the stove is operating properly and will also reduce smoke and improve the heating capacity.

Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means they have been controlled to be as efficient as possible and as eco-friendly as the EU permits. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies' scheme.

A stove that is approved by Defra will produce less smoke than one that isn't certified. The reason for this is that they are built to ensure a continuous flow of air to the fire. This is accomplished by having a second, and sometimes a tertiary, air intake. This stops the stove from being starved of oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke it releases.

Modern stoves are designed to emit less harmful particulate matter than the previous models. This is important as particulate pollution can be absorbed into the bloodstream and be carried throughout the body, settling in the lungs as well as the heart. This can lead to serious health problems including premature death.

The EU seeks to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that the latest models emit less harmful pollutant. This is due to the fact that it is associated with a variety of health problems, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help achieve the new air quality targets. The plan aims to reduce the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a significant reduction in emissions from domestic fuels like wood burners.
