They also pass rigorous emissions tests and meet the government requirements for the Clean Air Act. Contrary to conventional 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 making sure that the stove has sufficient combustion air flow at all times. We have a variety of wood burning stoves that are DEFRA approved in both modern and traditional styles.

Clean Burning Technology

A multi fuel stove is a fantastic option for homeowners who want to use a wood burning stove but don't have a large enough space to store logs. These stoves can be loaded with either wood or manufactured fuels such as peat and coal briquettes. They are able to burn both kinds of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is because multi-fuel stoves are designed to burn a variety of fuels.

Stoves built to burn a variety of different fuels usually have an elevated grate designed to allow air to circulate beneath the fuel. This is due to certain fuels such as peat and turf briquettes need a lot of air underneath for them to ignite and burn effectively. Many multi fuel stoves have a secondary air flow which can be closed or 349338 opened according to the type of fuel you are using. This will help keep the fire going, by supplying an additional supply of air to the stove. It also increases the efficiency of combustion.

The primary and secondary air flow systems of a stove are used to alter the flame height and the temperature of the fire. This is crucial because different fuels burn at different rates, and produce different amounts of heat. Maintaining the flame's height and temperature in check will ensure your stove is running as efficiently as possible and generating the highest amount of heat from its fuel.

You should also remove the ash regularly from your stove and place it in a bucket or ash pan. This will stop the accumulation of too much ash on the stove grates and stop your fuel from burning properly. To prevent discoloration, you will need to clean the glass of your stove regularly.

Typically, a Defra approved stove will have an automatic fuel feed as well as an air supply control to ensure that the fire is burning at its optimum efficiency. This results in less smoke and a high amount of heat output, 349338 which is beneficial in smaller rooms where the stove may be the main focal feature.

The pellets, which are made of sawdust or other wood products that have been rejected, are an environmentally green option. The stoves include an oven and hotplate, as well as an oven, so they can also be used to cook. The standard 6" (150mm), but still compatible with 5 1/2" (125mm) liner is a standard feature. This is a benefit when it could be difficult to install an ordinary 6" (150mm) stove, or the chimney stack is characterized by awkward bends.

Energy Efficiency

The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace creates heat, which is then transferred to the room. This is accomplished either through radiation, where the hot surface of a multifuel stove radiates heat back into the room or convection, which draws in cold air from outside, heats it up and then directs it towards the room. The majority of modern multifuel stoves are designed to maximise the efficiency of their heat output, using secondary and tertiary air sources to minimize emissions and burn fuel as efficiently as possible.
