What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?
If you reside in a smoke-free zone it is essential to purchase a DEFRA exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove allows you to burn wood legally in a smoke-controlled space.
The stoves are independently tested to ensure the lowest possible emissions. Stoves with this status often feature the 'Defra approved' logo in their name or on their specifications.

Many people believe that living in a smoke controlled area means they can't use a wood burning fireplace. It's not the case. Most cities and large towns are within a smoke control zone, however, that doesn't mean that they can't use a wood burning stove. It just means they have to burn approved fuels in their stove (usually Briquettes). The Defra-approved stove is a wood-burning stove that has been thoroughly tested to make sure that it meets certain standards in terms of the emissions it generates when burning authorised materials. It can therefore be used legally in smoke-control zones.
The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and a lot of stoves feature the SE after their names to indicate that they are smoke-free. To be SE approved the stove must satisfy strict emission requirements. This means that you can be confident you are purchasing the top wood stove available.
When you look for a stove that burns wood that is Defra exempt or is marked with SE after its name, you'll usually discover that the manufacturer has carried out things like ensuring that there are enough air intakes on the front of the stove to allow full combustion of the fuel, and that the chimney outlet size is adequate to stop the build-up of soot. This is important as it ensures that smoke from the wood stove doesn't escape through the chimney and into your home.
