The Huntingdon
A large wood burner is the perfect option to add a touch of classic character to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly when it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must meet strict standards for health and environmental protection and must limit the amount of smoke emissions to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's important to choose an appliance with a large flame with a large window, an airwash system to keep the glass clean and a movable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge traditional stove that meets the specifications. The dedicated wood-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and feature high heat output. They also have a large viewing area for stunning views of the flame and the multifuel model comes with a unique riddling grates that are closable when you want to burn logs.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a wintry walk or simply cook an entire family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its excellent efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts help to keep the internal temperature high, resulting in an even more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass windows that really lets you see the fire from inside. You can pick from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that matches your interior. The top loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for the placement of kettles and pans.
Like all stoves made by Stovax the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you use fuels that are not authorised you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.
This is accomplished by an innovative clean-burn system which has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air that is introduced to the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire. modern wood burning stove -heated gas is used to ignite the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, leading to a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, which is directed at the glass to give you a clearer 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 classified as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
