A Defra-approved stove produces less smoke than a stove that is not certified. This is because they have been designed to ensure that the fire has a constant supply of air. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove being lacking oxygen during the combustion process and reduces the amount black smoke it releases.

Modern stoves are designed to produce much less harmful particulate pollution than the previous models. This is crucial because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried around the body and lodge in the lungs and heart. This can cause serious health problems and even premature death.

The government has published an Environment Plan draft to help to meet the new air quality goals. The plan aims to cut the average PM 2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms per cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.
