The Huntingdon

A large wood burning stove is the perfect way to add a touch of classic character to any home. It's also a great way to warm your home particularly when it's engineered with good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must meet strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emission up to 5g carbon monoxide every hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's crucial to opt for the stove that has a wide flame picture with a generous window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clear and a movable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge traditional stove that fulfills these specifications. The wood-burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer the highest heat output and a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable riddling grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're wanting to burn logs. Both come with the option of a transparent door or an engraved door for a more gothic look and are suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.

All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, which means that they are much less harmful than older models.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an excursion in winter or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its brand new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.

The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window which allows you to see the fire inside. There is  freestanding wood burning stove  of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels then you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished through an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air pre-heated feed that is delivered to the combustion chamber through channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, which gives you a clearer view of the flames.

The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classed as an  Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
