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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to
sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland appliances are exempted by

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 Aspect wood burning stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas. Suitable Authorised fuels
can also be used in the appliances in Smoke Control Areas (see Authorised fuel list https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php )
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling
must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable
period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
