The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has passed laws that prohibit the emission of dark smoke in areas that are smoke-controlled that include the majority of towns and cities. The stoves that are Defra approved have been subject to rigorous tests and examinations to ensure they comply with the law. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce significantly fewer pollutant emissions. This makes them a much better option for both you and your neighbours since the lesser amount of smoke they emit means that the nuisance levels of smoke will be kept to a minimum.
