🚨 Don’t Believe the Scaremongering Headlines — Woodburning Stoves Are Not Being BANNED 🚨

There’s a growing wave of panic online saying that woodburning stoves are being outlawed — but the facts say otherwise.

✅ The UK government recently confirmed under the upcoming Future Homes Standard (FHS) that wood-burning stoves will still be permitted as a secondary heating source in new homes.

✅ Yes — there are new rules to improve air quality (e.g. only Ecodesign-certified stoves can be sold, certain fuels are restricted in smoke control areas) — but that’s about responsible use, not a blanket ban.
