Скачать или смотреть £1,000 Fine for Heating Your Home? (The New 'Wood Burner' Police)

Imagine receiving a £1,000 fine just for lighting a fire in your own living room. In 2026, this is the new reality for millions of UK homeowners living in "Smoke Control Areas".

In this urgent video, I expose the government's "War on Wood Burners." New laws under the Environment Act allow councils to issue massive on-the-spot fines if smoke is detected from your chimney. Neighbors are being encouraged to report "nuisance smoke," and some councils are even using drones to identify offenders.

I explain exactly how the "Ready to Burn" legislation works, the difference between a compliant "DEFRA Exempt" stove and an illegal one, and the £10 gadget (Moisture Meter) you need to prove your innocence and avoid the fine.

⚠️ WATCH UNTIL THE END: I reveal the "DEFRA Loophole" and the specific Top-Down lighting method that keeps the smoke police away.
