The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is the perfect way to add a bit of character to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, especially if it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must to meet stringent health and environmental standards, such as limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's essential to select an appliance with a large flame image, a large window, an airwash system to keep the glass clear and a movable door handle for security and convenience.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these requirements. The wood-burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer a high heat output and a large viewing window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're looking to burn wood.

All Ecodesign stoves are made to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, which means that they are significantly less harmful than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement, as older stoves can produce more than 20g of CO2 each hour, which could be detrimental to your health and increase your risk of suffering from respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an excursion in winter or cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system which has three distinct features to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burn 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 air.
The result is an efficient stove that has a large glass window to view the fire. There is a choice of coloured handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to match your interior. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface that you can place pans and kettles on.
The Pengiun, like all Stovax stoves, has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels then you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed at the glass, known as an 'air wash' to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
