Many people frequently ask us about the implications of installing solid fuel and wood burning appliances in ‘smokeless zones'.
Breifly, the Clean Air Act allows local authorities to declare ‘smoke control areas’ in which emissions of smoke from domestic properties are banned. This act was originally created to prevent the damaging smogs that frequently occurred in the 1950’s and 60’s.
Under the Act it is also an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, which is located in a ‘smoke control area’ or to acquire an ‘unauthorised fuel’ for use within a smoke control area unless it is an ‘exempt’ appliance.
It is very encouraging to see that many more appliances have achieved ‘exempt appliance’ status for burning wood etc.
Devon Stoves have a large selection of exempt appliances to choose from.

Most stove and chimney problems are due to burning wet fuel.
Your wood should be cut and stacked for a period of time to achieve a moisture content of 20% or less.
The benefits or kiln-drying are considerable:
• Generates greater heat output
• Better fuel efficiency
• More economical
• Minimum stove and flue problems
• Energy Efficiency
When buying wood, consider the cost per kilowatt of energy.
Using local suppliers may seem more convenient, but much of the firewood currently available is damp and difficult to burn.
Whilst fires have a strong attraction, they are extremely inefficient compared to wood burning stoves.
Why Wood is the Best Fuel for your Stove Wood is a truly renewable resource which means it can be restored and replenished by nature in a period of time that is compatible with human use. Well managed woodland can provide a perpetual source of fuel.
When the wood is burned, CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. No additional carbon is released because the same amount of carbon would be released if the tree died and was left to rot. Burning wood in your stove is therefore carbon neutral.
Finally, wood produces the best flame in your stove.
