Logs for Harrogate homes
Oak is dense and burns slowly, so it suits a stove that runs all evening. The mixed hardwood tonne bag costs less and gives a mix of quick-lighting and long-burning logs. In a smoke control area without an exempt stove, use an authorised smokeless fuel instead of logs.

Smoke control in Harrogate
North Yorkshire Council says smoke control areas cover the majority of Harrogate. It lists Knaresborough, Ripon, Boroughbridge, Masham and Pateley Bridge as having none. To check your street, tick the smoke control box on the council's In my area map.
- Inside a smoke control area, burn logs only in a Defra-exempt stove.
- Otherwise use an authorised fuel: one on Defra's list, or anthracite, semi-anthracite or low volatile steam coal.
- In law, smoke from a chimney there can bring a penalty of £175 to £300, and buying unauthorised fuel for a stove that isn't exempt can bring a fine of up to £1,000.
