The Huntingdon

A large wood burner is an excellent way to add a bit of classic character to any home. It's also a great option to heat your home, especially when it's well-engineered with high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict health and environmental standards, such as limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, it's essential to opt for the stove that has a large flame picture with a generous window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clear, and a removable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills the specifications. The wood-burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with the highest heat output and a large viewing window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're planning to burn logs. Both stoves come with the option of a clear door and a tracery door to give a more Gothic look and are suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an excursion in winter or cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure 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 high, resulting in a more complete burning of the gases produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released in the atmosphere.

Wood Burning Stoves is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass windows that lets you see the fire inside. You can pick from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. The top loading stove features a large flat surface to place pans and kettles on.

The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished with an innovative clean burn system that has been upgraded to include an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash', to give you an unobstructed view of flames.

The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin is in compliance with the most stringent emission limits and is classed as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you burn smokeless fuels.
