The Huntingdon

A large wood burning stove is a great option to add a touch of classic character to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet stringent health and environmental standards, such as limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's crucial to choose the stove that has a wide flame with a large window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clean and a movable door handle for safety and convenience.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that meets the requirements. The dedicated wood burning fires-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and feature a high heat output. They also come with an expansive viewing area that allows for breathtaking views of flames, and the multifuel version features a unique, closable riddling grates for the time you need to burn logs.

The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control that allows you to set your fireplace to a continuous state of operation, which can help reduce the cost of fuel, as well as reducing emissions.

The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both versions come with a graphite or black finish to match your current decor.

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

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

The name implies the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a walk in the winter or simply cook a family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts helps to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete combustion of fuel gases. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particulates that are emitted into the air.

The result is an extremely efficient stove that also has an impressively large glass windows that really lets you see the fire inside. There are a variety of colored handles and an angled chrome pedestal to suit your interiors. This top loading stove has a large flat surface for placing pans and kettles.

Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and large wood burner has passed all the necessary 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, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.

This is achieved with a new clean burning system that has been improved to include a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The gas that is pre-heated ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed at the glass, which gives you an improved view of the flames.

This combination of systems guarantees that the new Penguin stove meets the strictest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
