Wood burning stoves are becoming increasingly popular with our customers, but many people assume they can't have a wood burner if they live in the city.
This dates back to the Clean Air Act which regulates smoke emissions in built-up areas and created zones where only smokeless fuels could be burnt.
However, now the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (known as DEFRA) has started a scheme to approve certain wood burning stoves which have an advanced system of eco-engineering. These stoves are very environmentally friendly, as wood is a renewable and sustainable energy source.
What's more, many of these stoves look fabulous and can provide a great focal point for any home. We stock a huge range of stoves, including many DEFRA-approved wood burners, at Westcombes - so do come and have a browse!
I am really impressed with this post! I always suggest people to buy Defra approved wood burners for their home. None should use woodburning stove unless it's DEFRA-approved.
