It also cuts down on the amount of ash produced which is a major contributor to airborne dust problems.
Defra approved wood stoves that have clean burn technology are engineered to make use of pre-heated air, which is then supplied directly into the firebox and is then mixed with the gases being released from the fuel. This process allows the unburned hydrocarbons to be burned before they escape directly up the chimney and into the air. Clean burn wood stoves are much more environmentally friendly than older models without this revolutionary technology.
Stoves that have received Defra approval are useful for those living in a Smoke-Control Area where only approved multifuel stoves from DEFRA are permitted.
