The Huntingdon
A large wood stove can be a wonderful addition to any home. It's also a great option to heat your home and is especially effective when it's designed with good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet stringent health and environmental standards, such as limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's crucial to opt for a stove that has a large flame picture with a generous window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clear, and a removable door handle for security and convenience.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these requirements. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer the highest heat output as well as a large window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique, closable grate on the multi-fuel variant for those occasions when you're planning to burn logs. Both models come with a choice of transparent or a tracery door, which provides them with a more gothic look. They're suitable for any room, from country cottages and contemporary townhouses.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a walk in the winter or cook an entire family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system that has three different features to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts, it helps to keep the internal temperature high and thereby allowing for a more efficient burning of fuel gases. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and lowers the amount of the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
The result is an efficient stove that has an enormous glass window to view the flame. You can choose from a variety of colors and a chrome pedestal that matches your interior. This top loading stove also boasts a wide flat surface that you can place pans and kettles on.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you use fuels that are not authorised you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.
This is accomplished with a new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels that are above the fire. second hand wood burner -heated air ignites the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, which results in a better burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed at the glass, known as an 'air wash', to give you an unobstructed view of the flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
