Wood stoves create smoke and fumes that are unpleasant and dangerous to health. The government see these devices as cheap energy. Smoke and fumes produce particulates as harmful to health as diesels or secondary cigarette smoke. This fashion accessory is dangerous not romantic.

Building control ignore there own rules and do not take notice of wind effect on the way smoke and fumes enter homes, Environmental Health are reluctant to make a nuisance case because the government policy is to support them, the clean air act is ignored. You cannot keep smoke and fumes out of your home and those with a duty of care ignore the risks. Even DEFRA do not know the full risks in there support of wood burning.
