Hardwood Logs - not for use in a Smoke Controlled Area

Hi all,

If I buy a multi fuel or wood burner, why would I not be able to use the above logs?

Our seasoned hardwood logs burn individually or with any other of our solid fuels, they burn slowly and efficiently and provide great warmth and a distinctive aroma that only a log fire can provide. They come from well managed forests and are cut to fit traditional or modern fireplaces. They are well packed for easy stacking and storage. Not for use in smoke controlled areas.

Thanks.

Because they don't comply with the emissions rules? The manufacturer should know and label the product accordingly.

You can burn logs in smoke controlled areas but only if you have an approved stove - there are now quite a few of these on the market, though how well they work, I have no idea.

Otherwise, the regulations concerning the use of ordinary (ie 'household') coal apply to wood too. You can be fined for doing it.

That said, the rules are widely flouted.

A DEFRA approved stove will allow you to burn wood in a smoke control zone, house coal is also banned from use in a smoke control zone
but should not be used in any closed appliance.
