Hello,
I have just found out that the area I live in has a 'smoke control order'. It says I can burn smokeless fuels- can I have a multi fuel burner and burn smokeless fuels?
I don't want a gas or electric fire. Is there a way around getting a multi fuel burner but still abiding by the smoke control order? I.e- is there certain brands/makes which cater for this?
Thanks

Yes you can burn smokeless fuels and if the stove is DEFRA approved you can burn wood as well.
Just look on the web for DEFRA approved stoves, there are hundreds if not thousands of them - here's a start https://www.stovesareus.co.uk/all-stoves/defra-approved-stoves.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqfr9pf2P2wIVEBobCh2iEgtbEAAYASAAEgIT9_D_BwENever under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers0 -
Installation of a log burner will also require Building Regulations approval, contact your local authority regarding this.DFW'er - Lightbulb moment : 31st July 2009 - £18,499

ok. They will have no problem with installing a log burner as long as it's Defra approved, right?0

Not if it is installed by a HETAS registered installer. You only need the local council involved if you DIY or use a non-HETAS contractor.0 -

You will be fine as long as it is properly installed (see my other reply concerning that).0
