UK government introduces new laws in 2024 regulating wood-burning stoves and fuels, imposing fines for non-compliance.
The UK government has introduced new laws regulating wood-burning stoves and fuels to enhance air quality. From 2024, homeowners risk fines up to £300 for using non-compliant stoves or fuels, including coal and wet wood. Since May 2021, traditional coal is banned, and only "Ready to Burn" fuels with 20% moisture or less are allowed. Existing stoves are exempt, but new regulations apply to those made after January 1, 2022. Penalties vary based on violations.
