The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is an excellent option to add a touch of character to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially when it is engineered well and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must to comply with strict safety and environmental standards, including limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, opt for an appliance with a large flame picture, a generous window and an airwash system which keeps the glass clean.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all the requirements. The dedicated multifuel and wood-burning stoves are both DEFRA exempt and feature high heat output. They also come with an expansive viewing area that allows for stunning views of the flame and the multifuel model comes with a unique closable riddling grates for when you want to burn logs. Both models are available with a choice of a clear or a tracery glass door which gives them a more Gothic look. They're suitable for any room including country cottages to modern townhouses.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following a winter walk or cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts helps to keep the internal temperature high which results in a more efficient burning of fuel gases. Wood Burning Stoves 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. You can pick from a variety of colours and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top-loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you 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 by a new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber through channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete combustion and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash', to provide you with a clear view of the 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 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you burn smokeless fuels.
