The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is an excellent addition to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially when it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must meet strict health and environmental standards 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 opt for the stove that has a large flame with a large window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clear and a movable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all the specifications. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer a high heat output as well as a large window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable grille on the multifuel model for those occasions when you're looking to burn wood.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
The name implies, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a walk in the winter or cook an entire family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more complete burning of the fuel gases. 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 has a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. There are a variety of handles in different colors and a chrome pedestal that is curved to complement your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing pans and kettles.
Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It is only suitable for burning 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 accomplished through a new clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include a pre-heated feed of air which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a better burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash' to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classed as an ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
