Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar
deposits in the stove and chimney and will not
produce a satisfactory heat output.
Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in
smoke control areas.

AND SMOKE CONTROL

REAS
Under the Clean Air Act 1993 local authorities may
declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an
offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a
building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if
located in a designated smoke control area. It is
also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel"
for use within a smoke control area unless it is
used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from
the controls which generally apply in the smoke
control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances
for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers
in the devolved administrations for those
countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air
(Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels
burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas
have been "authorised" in Regulations and that
appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas
(other than "authorised" fuels) have been
exempted by an Order made and signed by the
Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved
administrations.

Clean Air Act can be found here:

Your local authority is responsible for
implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control
areas and you can contact them for details of
Clean Air Act requirements.
The Telford Inset 5 MKII has been recommended as
suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas when
burning wood logs
This stove has been designed and assembled so
that it may be used to burn wood logs in a Smoke
Control Area.
Find out if you are in a Smoke Control Area by
contacting your Local Authority.
The Telford Inset 5 MKII has been fitted with a
permanent bypass that prevents closure of the
secondary air slider. Removal of this will lead to the
appliance potentially causing smoke emissions.
Without the permanent bypass in place the
appliance is not an exempt appliance and so may
leave the householder liable for a fine up to £1000.
