@MumsForLungs In the interests of context and accuracy, burning dry wood in a modern, Ecodesign compliant stove (like the one depicted in your poster) emits 12 times LESS PM2.5 pollution annually in the UK than cigarette smoking. Will you also be calling for a complete ban on cigarettes?
Did you know that wood logs cost 68% less per kWh than electric heating and 13% less than an air source heat pump?

Wood-burning stoves are not going to be banned. Here is an article that details this prickly subject in a little more detail and dispels the misinformation from some media sources.

Find a useful guide to lighting a fire on the #HETAS website.
The top down method aids the flue to get up to temperature quickly and removes the need to open the appliance door to add fuel to the kindling. This leads to a more #energyefficient burn.

We must avoid using the term "wood burners" when reporting on emissions from domestic combustion. This umbrella term is misleading & conflates the different types of wood burning appliances in use. Modern, Ecodesign compliant stoves make up just 1.3% of total UK PM2.5 emissions.
Readers of The @guardian newspaper recently shared their views on wood burning stoves, with those that use them noting their many benefits including warmth, grid independence, cost savings & fuel self-sufficiency.

Look for the #ReadytoBurn Certification Mark when purchasing firewood for immediate use.
#Firewood sold in volumes under 2m³ needs to be certified as Ready to Burn with a moisture content of 20% or less.

The government has confirmed today that it is NOT considering a ban on domestic burning in England & that it will cut smoke emissions limits in Smoke Control Areas to 3g per hour. This measure is welcomed by the SIA.

This article in today's @FT is a stark reminder that we must consider all the options.
A modern, Ecodesign compliant wood burning stove requires no connection to the grid, is inherently low carbon & uses sustainable, locally sourced fuel.

@MumsForLungs The distinction needs to be made between open fires & Ecodesign stoves. Ecodesign stoves account for just 1.2% of total UK PM2.5 emissions, that's less than 1/10th of road transport.
