Clean Burn Technology

Clean burn technology is used in log burners that are defra-approved to limit the amount and type of smoke and particles emitted. It has been shown that this technology can help reduce the health risks associated with poor air in urban areas. This is especially true when using a fireplace or stove that burns wood. Bergen is a prime example. The city realized the importance of taking measures to improve air quality. As a result, non-cleanburn stoves have been banned in the city. The program to trade in stoves was a huge success. Bergen ranked fifth among 320 European cities in 2021 when it came to its air quality.

To achieve this, Defra approved stoves have been developed to ensure that the fire is always supplied with sufficient oxygen to ignite and burn the fuel. This is accomplished by having an additional air intake that allows for additional combustion air to flow into the appliance in addition to the primary and/or the main air intake. A secondary air feed is typically located behind the appliance in the interior or under the fire box.

Modern, Defra exempt stoves have been through rigorous tests to be legal to burn wood in Smoke Control Areas. This is only possible when the stove is operated with wood that has been dried and seasoned. heated to less than 20 percent moisture.

A DEFRA approved wood burning stoves-approved stove will also have been tested for the capacity to emit only 3g of smoke an hour which is the legal limitation in all UK cities and towns. If the stove is found to emit excessive emissions, the proprietor will be fined a sum of PS300 or more.

Selecting a stove that has more efficiency will allow you to reduce the amount of air pollution generated by the stove as well as saving you money on heating expenses.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

The UK government has set strict emission limits for stoves and fireplaces. They are designed to keep the country clean and healthier environment to live in. Smoke Control Areas are found in many large towns and cities in which the dark smoke can be a source of irritation for residents. If you reside in a Smoke Control Zone and have an older open fire or wood-burning stove, then you must upgrade to a Defra approved log burner.

They are cleaner burning and more environmentally friendly than the old-fashioned log burners.

Easy to Clean

Regular cleaning will also ensure your stove's glass is clean and clear so you can enjoy the view of a beautiful fire without obstructed visibility.

There are a number of tools that you could need to aid in the care of your wood burner, including cleaning brushes and ash vacuum cleaner as well as polishing your stove. It is important to perform the cleaning process when your stove is cool and we suggest wearing gloves that resist heat.

The first step is to make use of the grate brush remove any ash that has built up on the bottom of the stove. Be sure to reach all corners and crevices. You can then use an ash vacuum to remove any remaining ashes and dispose of them in an aluminum container. After your stove is clean, you can apply a stove polish with a soft cloth being careful not to contact the hot surface.

It is essential to only burn seasoned, high-quality wood on your approved defra log burner to ensure you aren't producing large amounts of particulates. When selecting your firewood, look for the Woodsure Ready to Burn logo or use a moisture meter to check the moisture content is less than 20%. Seasoning your own logs is an option, but it can take up to two years for the moisture to evaporate.

Avoid burning painted, stained or chemically treated wood (including pallets, MDF, and Medium Density Fiberboard). These types of woods produce dangerous chemicals when burned and are not suitable for burning in a log burner.

It is important to install your log burner correctly to ensure its performance and efficiency. Make sure that it's installed by a professional who is qualified, and that it is in a well ventilated space where it won't be exposed to drafts. Installing a stove incorrectly could lead to safety issues, damage and increased expenses.

Energy efficient

Log burners with Defra approval are generally more efficient than counterparts. The reason is that they have been tested and proven to be able to guarantee that the proper amount of air is provided to the wood or multiple fuel burning stoves during combustion. This reduces the amount of smoke and it also reduces heat loss and emissions from the stove.

When you purchase a wood burner that is exempt from defra you can also be assured that it will be safe for use with your chimney system as it has the flue size of 5" (150mm).
