The Huntingdon

A large wood burner (My Home Page) is an excellent way to add a touch of character to any home. It's also a great heating option, particularly when it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet stringent environmental and health standards, such as restricting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, choose an appliance with a large flame picture, a generous window and an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.

Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all the requirements. The dedicated shed wood burner-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and feature an impressive heat output. They also feature an expansive viewing area that allows for breathtaking views of flames, and the multifuel version has a unique closable riddling grates for when you want to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a transparent door or a tracery door for a more gothic aesthetic and are suitable for any room from rustic cottages to modern townhouses.

These stoves are extremely energy efficient and have an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is used as efficiently as it can be. Additionally to that, the Huntingdon features a secondary air control that allows you to control the temperature of your fireplace, so you can set it to operate at an even temperature, thereby cutting down on fuel costs and reducing emissions.

The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit that allows for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.

All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to an emission limit of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning they are considerably less harmful than older models.

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 has three distinct features in its brand new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burn of the gases generated by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.

The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass windows which allows you to see the fire from inside. There is a choice of handles in different colors and a curved chrome pedestal to suit your interiors. This top-loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing pans and kettles.

The Pengiun, like all Stovax stoves, has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you were to use non-approved fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished through the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air-pre-heated supply that is delivered to the combustion chamber through channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases that are produced by the fuel which results in a better burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed at the glass to provide better views of the flames.

This combination of systems ensures that the new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
