The Huntingdon

A large wood burning stove is a great way to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It's also a great option to warm your home, especially when it's well-engineered with high seasonal efficiency. New log burners must to meet stringent environmental and health standards, for example, limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, opt for the stove that has a large flame picture, a generous window and an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills the requirements.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts helps to maintain high internal temperatures, resulting in an even more efficient burning of fuel gases. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the air.

The result is a powerful stove with a large glass window to see the fire. There is a choice of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing pans and kettles.

Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It is only suitable 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 the atmosphere.

This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air-pre-heated supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases released by the fuel, resulting in an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air that is directed at the glass to give you better views of the flames.

The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
