Installation Considerations
•
Smoke may not be emitted from a chimney unless it is from an authorised fuel or the appliance is exempt
- Wood is not an authorised fuel
- The IMSOutdoor Oven is not an exempt appliance
•
Free standing Outdoor Ovens, like barbecues, are excluded from this legislation but to satisfy the exclusion:
- the installation must be outdoors
- its chimney must not pass through a building (including an out-house or summer house)
•
Could smoke fromthe oven cause nuisance:
- to neighbours?
- by drifting across a public highway posing a danger to traffic?
•
Is the location sheltered from strong winds?
•
Is the location away from any combustible materials such as wooden fences, garden sheds, shrubs and bushes?
•
Is the location away from residential property to prevent smoke entering through open windows or doors?
•
Is the location away from main thoroughfares where children, elderly or infirm regularly pass?
The CleanAir Act allowed the establishment of Smoke Control Zones by local authorities.
