Emissions reduced

Multi-fuel stoves approved by Defra are not just eco sustainable, but they also reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in your home.

These fine particles can penetrate the lungs and cause respiratory illnesses or even heart disease.

Fortunately, modern DEcontrol regulations

DEFRA approved wood burning stoves are approved for use in smoke control areas (check online if the area you live in is one). In smoke control areas the emissions of log burners are limited to avoid nuisance smoke. This stops the release of pollutants into the air that can upset neighbors and create unhealthy conditions for those living close to. It is essential to use a DEFRA-approved cooking stove in a smoke-controlled space to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are generally urban locations where the population density is higher, which typically includes large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to ensure the quality of air by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves comply with the regulations and have been certified to provide low emissions. This is crucial to ensuring the health and safety of people living in these areas.

It is also important to keep in mind that smoke exempt stoves can only be used with authorized fuels, such as dry, properly seasoned firewood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet wood inside a smoke control zone since they could produce excessive smoke. Burning household waste like old furniture, pallets and fencing is also illegal since they are likely to have been treated with chemicals that can release toxic substances into the air when burned. Selecting firewood with an moisture content of 20% or less is recommended to avoid excessive emissions and ensure that the stove is being used correctly. The Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme is a great way to purchase firewood with this need in mind.
