It is important to understand that not all stoves made from wood or multi-fuel are created equal. There are a variety of factors to consider, from the size to the power output and whether it is defra-approved.

Defra Approved Stoves are also known as smoke exempt stoves and they have been tested to meet the UK government's strict environmental standards. They can be used in smoke control areas and are able to burn fuels that normally would not be permitted, like wood.

They are engineered to produce lower emissions of smoke and harmful gases when burning fuel, which helps to protect the environment. They also save on energy bills to a degree that other kinds of open-fire or wood burner cannot. This is because these stoves have higher combustion rates, meaning that they can generate more heat for the same amount of fuel.

A stove that is approved by Defra does not sleep, which means it is less likely to release this material into the air. It also means that if the stove is switched from solid fuel to smokeless for overnight burning, a certain amount will always be delivered.
