Q: I wish to buy a wood burning stove - which ones are acceptable for smokeless zones
Answer:
Information on woodburning stoves that are approved for use in smoke control areas can be found on the following website http://uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk
The list includes commercial and domestic models and gives other information about legislation regarding smoke control areas.
Please be aware that some woodburning stoves are marketed as "clean burn", or similar, but only those included in the list of Exempted Appliances have official approval.
If an open fire or non-exempted appliance is used in a smoke control area only approved fuels (i.e. smokeless fuels) may be burned.
