This is because they are designed to ensure that the fire is supplied with an ongoing supply of air. This is achieved by having a second, and sometimes a tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove from being depriving of air during the combustion process and therefore reduces the amount of black smoke it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is crucial because particulate contaminants can enter the bloodstream. They then travel around the body and lodge in the lungs or the heart. This can lead to serious health problems and even premature death.

This is due to the fact that it is linked to a range of health problems, including asthma and other respiratory ailments.

In order to meet the new targets for air quality the government has released the draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce the average PM2.5 concentrations in UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a dramatic reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners.
