The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is running a consultation on the use of solid fuels. The deadline for responses is this Thursday 19th March 2026. Please respond to tell DEFRA that our solid fuel stoves are essential and our homes would be uninhabitable in winter without them. Make sure DEFRA know how many people rely on their stoves as their only source of heating! See https://consult.defra.gov.uk/domestic-burning/consultation-on-solid-fuel-burning/ for the consultation documents and how to respond. You don’t need to answer all of the questions.
