It is crucial to use a DEFRA-approved cooking stove in a smoke-controlled space to avoid fines.

Smoke control zones are generally urban areas with a large population density, like large towns and cities. Smoke control regulations are designed to maintain air quality by limiting particulate emissions to the atmosphere. Defra approves multi-fuel stoves that are conforming to these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure that they produce minimal emissions. This is vital to ensure the health and safety for those living in these areas.

It is also important to note that smoke-free stoves should only be used with authorized fuels, such as dry well-seasoned and properly seasoned firewood. It is against the law to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke control area since they can cause excessive smoke. Burning household waste, such as old furniture, pallets or fencing is also illegal as they are likely to have been treated with chemicals that may release pollutants into the air after being burned. To avoid excessive emissions, it's best to choose firewood with a moisture content below 20 percent. This will ensure that the stove is operated properly and avoid excessive emissions.
