The Huntingdon

A large wood burner is a great option to add a touch of character to any home. It's also a great heating option, particularly when it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, opt for the stove that has a large flame picture, a generous window and an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all the specifications. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with a high heat output as well as a large window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable riddling grate on the multi-fuel variant for those occasions when you're wanting to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a clear door or one with a tracery for a more gothic aesthetic, making them suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
They are extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring your fuel is used effectively. 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 multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with a graphite or black finish to complement your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit a maximum of only 5g CO2 per hour, making them substantially safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of carbon dioxide an hour. Fireplaces & Stoves can be harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an excursion in winter or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its brand new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts help to keep the internal temperature high, resulting in an even more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.
The result is an efficient stove that has a large glass window to view the flame. There's a selection of handles in different colors and a chrome pedestal that is curved to complement your interior. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for the placement of kettles and pans.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.
This is accomplished through the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air that is delivered to the combustion chamber through channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, resulting in a more complete burn and less harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, known as an 'air wash', to provide you with an unobstructed view of flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
While old-style wood burning stoves are popular, studies have shown that they release microscopic sooty particles to the atmosphere. These particles have been proven to cause poor air quality, which has been linked to heart and lung issues and dementia, as well as breathing issues. Modern models are DEFRA-approved and made to higher standards, so you can still enjoy a relaxing fireplace at home.
