Smoke control zones are generally urban locations where the population density is higher, which typically includes large towns and cities. The primary goal of smoke control regulations is to ensure standards for air quality by limiting the release of particulates into the atmosphere. Multi-fuel stoves endorsed by Defra are in compliance with the regulations and have been certified to provide the lowest emissions. This is vital to ensure the safety and health of those living in these areas.

It is important to remember, too, that smoke-free stoves can only be used with approved fuels like dry well-seasoned, well-seasoned wood. It is not legal to burn damp fuels or wet wood in a smoking control zone because they can generate excessive smoke. It is not legal to burn household waste such as old furniture, pallets and fencing. These materials have been treated using chemicals that can release toxic substances when they are burned. To avoid excessive emissions, it is best to choose firewood with a moisture content below 20%. This will ensure that the stove is operated properly and avoid excessive emissions.
