The primary pollutant produced when burning solid fuels such as coal and wood is ultra-fine particulate matter, commonly referred to as PM2.5. Fine particles can enter the lungs, leading to respiratory ailments and heart diseases.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Fortunately, modern DEFRA approved multi fuel stoves are designed to reduce levels of this harmful gas. The Stove Yard offers a large selection of stoves that are SIA Ecodesign certified and have been thoroughly tested to ensure that they function well below the new manufacturing standard of 3g/hour for appliances installed in areas with smoke control.

If you do intend to use fossil fuels in your multi-fuel stove, there are plenty of alternatives to smokeless that can will significantly reduce the quantity of harmful gases your stove emits.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The latest DEFRA-approved stoves, such as those in our selection, offer the third and second-generation combustion system that reduces carbon footprint of users as well as air pollution.

It is essential to use the DEFRA approved stove in a smoke-free zone is crucial to avoid being fined if the stove is found to be releasing excessive quantities of smoke.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Smoke control zones are typically urban areas in which the population density is higher, which typically includes cities and towns that are large. The primary purpose of smoke control regulations is to preserve standards for air quality by limiting the release of particulates into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves approved by Defra are compliant with the regulations and have been certified to guarantee minimal emissions. This is vital to ensure the health and safety of those who live in these areas.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It is also important to keep in mind that smoke-free stoves should only be used with approved fuels, such as dry well-seasoned and well-seasoned firewood. It is illegal to burn damp or wet wood in a smoke control zone because they can generate excessive smoke. It is not legal to burn household waste, such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals that can release toxic substances when burned. Choosing firewood with 20% moisture% or less is recommended to prevent excessive emissions and ensure the stove is used in a safe manner. Woodsure Ready to Burn is an excellent choice for purchasing firewood that meets this requirement.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;A DEFRA approved multi-fuel stove is able to burn a variety of different types of fuel so you can enjoy a warm fire all year round without having to change the chimney system.

&lt;div&gt;Why Buy a Defra Wood Burner?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If you live in a Smoke Control Area then you will need to use an Defra approved stove.
