The Huntingdon
A large wood stove can be a wonderful addition to any home. It's also a great method to warm your home and is especially effective when it's designed with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners have to meet strict safety and environmental standards, such as limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, select a stove with an enormous flame image, a generous window and an airwash system that ensures the glass is clean.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge traditional stove that meets these requirements. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with the highest heat output and a large viewing window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable riddling grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're looking to burn wood. Both models are available with a choice of transparent or a tracery door that gives them a more Gothic appearance. They are suitable for any space, from country cottages and contemporary townhouses.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system that has three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gases produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the air.
The result is an efficient stove with a large glass window to view the fire. There's a selection of coloured handles and an angled chrome pedestal to match your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal 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 necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved with an innovative clean burning system that has been improved to include an air supply that is pre-heated that is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels above the fire. The gas that is pre-heated ignites the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed at the glass, also known as an 'air wash' to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
This combination of systems guarantees 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.
