City Dwellers Stoves
Do you live in a town or city and wish to install a warm cosy looking wood burning or multifuel stove? Not sure where you should start looking?
Most built up areas are classed as smoke free now and as many woodburning or multifuel stoves on the market do create pollution into the environment, they are not suitable for installing in to a home which is situated in an environmentally controlled area.
However, to resolve this problem many manufacturers of stoves have now designed stoves which reduce the emissions that cause smoke and pollution to the environment. These have been passed by Department for Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), so they can burn wood in smokeless zones.
To see if you require a DEFRA approved stove you can check with your local council environmental department or go on their website and out in your postcode.
