Defra approved stoves, also referred as Defra smoke-free stoves, are wood burning and multi fuel stoves that meet the requirements of the government's emission standards for use in Smoke Control Areas. These new standards don't prohibit the use of wood stoves in these areas, but only restrict the amount of smoke they can produce while operating.

At ESSE we are pleased to stock a great selection of defra approved stoves from the top manufacturers, including Arada, Burley, Parkray and Stovax. All of our Defra approved stoves offer the latest clean burning technology. They come with secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. This means less smoke coming out of the chimney, and also leaves a smaller ecological footprint.

Defra approved products are suitable for cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces, such as farms, buildings and vehicles. The Defra approved disinfectants list is maintained by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) which charges an annual fee to approve the new back-to-back approval trade names for disinfectants. APHA may also retest the effectiveness of a disinfectant at any time. The results can be added to the list of approved disinfectants, without the need to submit an actual sample.

Stovax offer a variety of wood and multi fuel stoves, fires and fireplaces that are DEFRA legislation stoves approved for use in Smoke Control Areas.

The stoves have passed the strict DEFRA registered stoves emissions tests and are able to meet the minimal smoke levels allowed in Smoke Control Areas. They can be used to burn different types of fuels like logs, anthracite and semi-anthracite briquettes, and manufactured smokeless fuels such as heat logs. You can also use them to burn electricity, gas or low volatile steam, or a mix of these. On the DEFRA website, you will get a complete list of approved fuels.

Look for the DEFRA Logo on the manufacturer's website or in their showrooms if you are considering a stove.

These fuels, also referred to as 'Smokeless coal' or Logs', have been subjected to rigorous tests to ensure they meet the specifications of Defra's Smoke Control Areas. These fuels are an excellent alternative to logs made from real wood because they are cleaner and produce less smoke than traditional logs.

Before the smoke control zones were put in place residents were allowed to burn whatever they wanted. This caused health issues and air pollution for those who lived in urban areas.
