Smoke control zones are generally urban areas where the density of people is higher, usually including large cities and towns. Smoke control regulations are designed to maintain air quality by limiting the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Defra has approved multi-fuel stoves as in compliance with these regulations and have been tested and certified to ensure they emit only minimal emissions. This is crucial to ensure the safety and health of those who live in these areas.

It is also important to note that smoke exempt stoves must only be used with authorised fuels like dry, well-seasoned firewood. It is against the law to burn damp or wet fuels in a smoke-control area as these can cause excessive smoke. Burning household waste like old furniture, pallets and fencing is also illegal since they are likely to have been treated with chemicals that could release toxins into the air when they are burned. Choosing firewood with an moisture content of 20 percent or less is recommended to avoid excessive emissions and to ensure that the stove is operating properly.
