Defra Approved
Anyone who lives in an area where smoke control is enforced must have a DEFRA approved stove or log burner. Defra approved stoves have been tested and proved to produce very little smoke. They also have passed rigorous emissions tests and comply with the government’s Clean Air Act requirements. In contrast to standard wood burning or multi fuel stoves, DEFRA approved appliances have been designed and manufactured to burn wood with such efficiency that minimal smoke is produced. This is accomplished by ensuring that the stove always has enough to provide combustible flow. Here at Bowland Stoves we offer a range of modern and traditional DEFRA approved wood burning stoves that come in various styles.

Clean Burning Technology
Multi fuel stoves are an excellent option for homeowners who’d prefer a wood-burning stove but do not have room for storage of logs. They can be filled with either logs or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal briquettes. These stoves can usually burn both kinds of fuel more effectively than traditional wood burners. This is due to the fact that multi-fuel stoves were designed to burn a range of fuels.
Stoves that are designed to burn a variety fuels usually have an elevated grate designed to allow air to circulate under the fuel. This is because certain fuels, such as peat briquettes or turf Briquettes, require a significant amount of air to ignite and burn. Most multi-fuel stoves have an additional airflow which can be shut or opened according to the type of fuel. This will help keep the fire burning by supplying additional air into the stove. It also helps improve the efficiency of combustion.
The primary and secondary air flow systems in a stove can be used to adjust the height of the flame and the temperature of the fire. This is important as different types of fuel will burn at different rates and will generate different amounts of heat. Making sure you keep the flame’s at a reasonable temperature and height will ensure that your stove is operating as efficiently as possible and 349338.xyz generating the most amount of heat from its fuel.
You will also need to remove the ash regularly from your stove, and store it in a bucket or ash pan. This will prevent the accumulation of ash over the stove’s grates and will prevent your fuel from burning properly. To prevent discoloration, you must keep the stove glass clean. You can keep your stove looking fresh by using a soft damp scourer and a specific stove cleaner. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when cleaning and maintaining your stove to avoid damage or causing problems.
Low Emissions
The top multi-fuel stoves have low emissions, 349338.xyz meaning they burn smokeless coal, or a combination thereof and emits minimal emissions. This is especially important in a smoke control area like London where you’ll have to select a Defra approved stove and only use authorised fuels as part of the Ready To Burn scheme to meet local regulations and keep the air fresh.
A stove that is Defra-approved will usually come with an automatic fuel supply as well as an air supply control, to ensure that the fire burns efficiently. This means that there is less smoke and a high heat output, which is an ideal choice for a smaller room where the stove could be the main focus point.
If you reside in a smoke-control region it is essential to select a stove that is Defra approved to ensure you’re in compliance with regulations. This will help you avoid costly fines if burn in a way that is illegal. There are a variety of approved stoves from Defra available, however we recommend you choose a wood-burning fireplace that is Eco Design 2022-compliant. This will allow you to have a better views of the flame and will be more efficient.
The AGA Ellsmere EC4 is an excellent example of an approved DEFRA Ecodesign stove that offers style and efficiency. With its compact size, it is ideal for smaller spaces and features simple to use primary and secondary air controls. The stylish design will work in both traditional and modern settings.
Another option is the Stovax Blithfield which is a widescreen stove that has large square windows which provides excellent views of the flame. It comes in a variety of colours to complement your decor. This stove is Defra and Eco Design compliant and can be purchased with a clear arch or a Tracery version that features dramatic Gothic arches to the door.
A good alternative to a traditional multi fuel stove is a pellet stove, which makes use of compressed wood or biomass pellets to provide a highly efficient fire with a high amount of heat output. The pellets are made from waste materials such as sawdust and other rejected wood products, which makes it an environmentally friendly option. The stoves have hotplates and oven, which means they can also be used for cooking. The standard 6″ (150mm), but still compatible with 5 1/2″ (125mm) liner is a typical feature. This is an advantage when it can be difficult to install an ordinary 6″ (150mm) stove or the chimney stack has some awkward bends.
Energy Efficiency
The combustion of fuel in a multifuel stove produces heat that the stove then distributes to the room. This can be done by radiation, in which the hot surface of a multifuel stove reflects heat back into the room, or convection, where it draws in cold air from outside, warms it up and then directs it into the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output, by using secondary and tertiary sources to reduce emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as is possible.
A good example is the Stovax Go Eco 5kW widescreen multifuel stove, which is both Defra and Ecodesign approved. Its large square windows provide a great view of the flame, and its wider size allows it to be fitted into chimneys with larger openings. The airwash system helps keep the glass internal free of soot. The stove comes in a selection of six finishes. It could even be equipped with a top plate, so that you can cook on it also.
Multifuel stoves can be an efficient method to make use of wood, however you will need to adhere to the guidelines of your appliance for the best results and ensure that it is regularly examined by an expert. It is also important to choose the right fuel, since each will burn at different rates and generate the same amount of energy. You’ll need to decide if you want the fire to produce lots of heat quickly, or when you’re more interested in a long, slow burn that creates a warm air in the room.
If you reside in an area where smoke is controlled, it’s important to know that only DEFRA-approved stoves are allowed to be used to burn smokeless coke and wood. You could be fined lots of dollars if you burn other fuel. Your stove could be damaged.
The Defra approved multifuel stoves we have in stock have 5″ (125mm) flue outlets that can be affixed to an existing chimney stack or flue system. This is a cheaper option than installing an stainless steel dual wall liner.
