Using an DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free area is important to avoid fines when the stove is found to emit excessive quantities of smoke.

Smoke control zones are usually urban areas with a high density, such as large towns and cities. Smoke control regulations are primarily designed to protect the air quality by limiting particulate emissions into the atmosphere. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves that are conforming to these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure they produce minimal emissions. This is essential to ensure the safety and health of people living in these areas.

It is crucial to note that smoke-free stoves can only be used with approved fuels such as dry well-seasoned, properly seasoned wood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet wood in a smoking control zone as they can produce excessive smoke. It is illegal to burn household waste, such as pallets, old furniture and fencing. These items have been treated with chemicals which can release toxins when they are burned. To avoid excessive emissions, it is recommended to choose firewood that has a moisture content below 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is operated properly and avoid excessive emissions.
