The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or simply cook the family meal. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete burn of the gas produced by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and less the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also has a stunningly large glass window that lets you see the fire inside. There's a selection of handles in different colors and a chrome pedestal that is curved to complement your interior. This top loading stove has an enormous flat surface for placing pans and kettles.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air-pre-heated supply that is introduced to the combustion chamber through jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases released 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 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 than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
