If you are buying the stove to be used in a Smoke Control Area, make sure it's got a Defra logo on it or a slash following its name. This means that the stove is smoke-free. The Defra logo is easily identifiable and is widely used in the industry.

In compliance with Building Regulations

Although it is possible to install a non-DEFRA-compliant stove, it will typically require significant modifications to the chimney and flue system. This could require a structural alteration which may require planning permission. To avoid this, it's recommended to select a DEFRA-compliant stove when purchasing a new fireplace with wood burning.
