The Huntingdon

A large wood burner is a great way to add a touch of character to any home. It's also a great way to warm your home, especially when it's well-engineered with high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict health and environmental standards that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To lessen the impact on your home, choose an appliance with an enormous flame image with a large window and an airwash system which keeps the glass clean.

Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all the specifications. The wood-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and come with a high heat output. They also come with a large viewing area for breathtaking views of flames and the multifuel version features a unique, riddling grates that can be closed the time you need to burn logs.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

The name implies, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a walk in the winter or cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.

The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire from inside. You can choose from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface for placing kettles and pans.

Like all stoves built by Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for the purpose of burning wood or smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into air.

This is accomplished through the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed that is introduced to the combustion chamber through jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases produced by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash', to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.

This combination of systems ensures that the new Penguin stove is compliant with the highest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
