The Huntingdon

A large wood burner is the perfect way to add a touch of character to any home. It's also a great way to warm your home particularly when it's engineered with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners have to meet strict environmental and health standards, for example, limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's essential to opt for a stove that has a wide flame with a large window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clean, and a removable door handle for safety and convenience.

Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these specifications. The multifuel and wood-burning stoves are both DEFRA exempt and have high heat output. They also come with a large viewing area for stunning views of the flame and the multifuel version comes with a unique riddling grates that can be closed the time you need to burn logs. Both models are available with a choice of a clear or a tracery glass door which provides them with a more gothic look. They can be used in any space that includes country cottages as well as contemporary townhouses.

They are extremely energy efficient and come with an A+ rating. This means that your fuel is used effectively as it can be. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control, which lets you adjust your fireplace to a continuous operating state, thereby reducing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.

The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched doors for more customisability and the multi-fuel version can be purchased with an external riddling kit that makes it easier for cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available in a black or graphite finish to complement your existing decor.

All Ecodesign stoves are made to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are significantly less harmful than older models. This is a massive improvement, as older stoves can emit more than 20g of CO2 per hour, which can be detrimental to your health and increase the chances of developing respiratory issues.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

Like the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or to cook a family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three different features to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts help to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.

The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass window that lets you see the fire inside. There is a choice of handles in different colors and a chrome pedestal that is curved to suit your interiors. The top loading stove features a large flat surface that you can place pans and kettles on.

The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves have passed all required 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 unauthorised fuels then you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air-pre-heated supply that is delivered to the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed at the glass, which gives you a clearer view of the flames.

The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.

The Go Eco

Studies have shown that old-fashioned wood-burning stoves emit tiny particles of soot in the air. These particles have been proven to cause poor air quality that has been linked with lung and heart issues as well as dementia and breathing issues.
