DEFRA-Approved Stoves

A DEFRA-approved stove is a wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove that meets emissions and efficiency standards set by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). These stoves are designed to burn fuel more cleanly, making them suitable for Smoke Control Areas.

Yes! One of the main benefits of a DEFRA-approved stove is that it’s legally allowed in Smoke Control Areas. These stoves produce fewer emissions, so they’re better for the environment and meet local air quality regulations.

DEFRA-approved stoves are designed to burn wood more efficiently, but many models can also burn smokeless fuels. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure you’re using the correct fuel type for your stove.
