Multi-Fuel DEFRA Approved Stoves

Smoke Control Areas

Smoke from open fires or stoves can cause air pollution in the UK particularly in urban areas. This has led to the creation of Smoke Control Areas where only specific kinds of fuels and home fire appliances are allowed to be employed.

It can cause damage to the ecosystem of rivers, lakes as well as wildlife and crops. Many countries, including the United States, have banned coal use due to the threat of acid rain.
