DEFRA stoves are also designed to abide with strict regulations concerning smoke emissions in smoke-controlled areas. These regulations are designed to reduce the amount of particulate material that is released into atmosphere during combustion.

The latest DEFRA wood burning stoves have been specifically designed to achieve this by using advanced combustion systems which don't restrict the flow of air within the firebox. This lets the wood be burnt more thoroughly and quickly, reducing the release of particles into the air.
