The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is an excellent addition to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners must to comply with 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 important to opt for a stove with a large 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 meets all the specifications. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with a high heat output and a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique, closable grates on the multi-fuel version to help you when wanting to burn logs.

Additionally, the Huntingdon features a secondary air control that allows you to control the heat of your fireplace. This means you can set it to operate at constant temperatures, thus decreasing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.

All Ecodesign stoves emit a maximum of only 5g of CO2 per hour, making them significantly safer than older models.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or simply cook a family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features to ensure its excellent 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 gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. There is a choice of colored handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to match your interior. The top loading stove boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest 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 face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved by the new clean-burn system which has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, resulting in a better burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed towards the glass to provide an improved view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the brand 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.
