The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great addition to any home. It's also a great option to heat your home particularly when it's engineered with high seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to comply with strict environmental and health standards, such as limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, choose the stove that has large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge traditional stove that fulfills these requirements. The wood-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and have high heat output. They also have a large viewing area for breathtaking views of flames, and the multifuel version has a unique closable riddling grates for the time you need to burn logs. Both come with the option of a clear door and a tracery door to give a more Gothic look which makes them suitable for all rooms from rustic cottages to modern townhouses.
They are extremely energy efficient and come with an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is used as efficiently as it can be. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control feature that lets you set your fireplace to a constant state of operation, reducing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door for added customisability and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit to simplify cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in either a black or graphite finish, making them easy to match your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit only 5g CO2 per hour, making them substantially safer than older models. This is a significant advancement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of CO2 an hour. This can be dangerous to your health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or to cook the family meal. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete burn of the gases produced by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and reduces particles that are released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also has an impressively large glass window that lets you see the fire in the room. You can choose from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. The top loading stove has a large flat surface for pans and kettles on.
The Pengiun, like all Stovax stoves, has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is achieved by a new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed towards the glass to give you an improved view of the 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 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Studies have shown that old-fashioned wood burning stoves emit tiny sooty particles in the air. These particles have been proven to cause poor air quality, which has been linked with lung and heart issues as well as dementia and breathing issues. However, modern models have been designed to higher standards and are DEFRA approved, which means that you can still enjoy the soothing effects of a log fire in your home.
