The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great way to add a bit of traditional charm to any home. It's 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 up to 5g carbon monoxide every hour. To lessen the impact on your home, choose a stove with large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large, traditional stove that meets these requirements. The multifuel and wood-burning stoves both DEFRA exempt and come with high heat output. They also come with an extensive viewing area to enjoy breathtaking views of flames and the multifuel model features a unique, riddling grates that can be closed when you want to burn logs. Both models are available with a choice of a transparent or a tracery glass door that gives them a more gothic look. They are suitable for any room, from country cottages and contemporary townhouses.

The Huntingdon also comes with a second air-control feature that lets you set your fireplace to a constant operating state, thereby reducing the cost of fuel, as well as reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door to provide personalization, while the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit to simplify cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or cook a family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three different features to achieve its remarkable 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 complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces particles that are released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass window that lets you see the fire inside. You can pick from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. The top loading stove boasts a wide flat surface for kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn non-approved fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is achieved with an innovative clean burning system that has been improved to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to a complete burn with fewer 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 an unobstructed 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 than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
