Clean Burn Technology

A DEFRA approved stove is a wood burning or multi-fuel stove that has passed a rigorous test developed by the UK Government's Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA permitted stoves).

The key characteristic of the DEFRA approved stove is that they have been engineered with Clean Burn technology, which is how they manage to be smoke-free. This is accomplished by delivering a continuous supply of oxygen to the combustion chamber until the fuel has been consumed. This means the fire can't be shut off like a traditional stove, and it will continue to burn at a lower temperature until the fuel is consumed completely and the flue gases are exhausted.

This means that you can legally use the stove in a Smoke Control Area with 'authorised fuels' which include manufactured smokeless fuels and wood (anthracite, smokeless briquettes, and firelogs). This is in contrast to non-Defra stoves which are only permitted to be used in the Smoke Control Area if they are fitted with a special smoke control kit.
