The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is the perfect way to add a touch of traditional charm 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 standards for health and environmental protection and must limit the amount of smoke emissions to 5g carbon monoxide an 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 which keeps the glass clean.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a huge traditional stove that meets all the specifications. The dedicated wood-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and come with an impressive heat output. They also come with an expansive viewing area that allows for spectacular flame views and the multifuel version features a unique, riddling grates that can be closed when you want to burn logs. Both models come with a choice of a transparent or a tracery glass door, which gives them a more gothic look. They can be used in any room, from country cottages and contemporary townhouses.
They are extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring that the fuel you use is utilized most efficiently. In addition to that, the Huntingdon has a second air control that enables you to control the temperature of your fireplace, meaning you can set it to operate at an even temperature, thereby cutting down on fuel costs and reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon come with a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door for added customisability, while the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in graphite or black finish to match your current decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are made to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means they are considerably less harmful than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement, as older stoves can release more than 20g of CO2 per hour, which is detrimental to your health and increase the risk of suffering from respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or to cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its excellent efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts help to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. Wood Burning Stoves results in lower harmful emissions and lowers the amount of the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire from inside. There is a choice of coloured handles and an angled chrome pedestal 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 built by Stovax the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into the air.
This is accomplished with an innovative clean combustion system that has been upgraded to incorporate a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, leading to a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, which gives you a clearer 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 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
