The Huntingdon
A large wood stove can be a wonderful addition to any home. It's also a great option to warm your home particularly when it's engineered with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners must comply with strict standards for health and environmental protection, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's essential to opt for an appliance with a large flame image, a large window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clear and a door with a removable handle for security and convenience.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an outdoor walk, or cook an evening meal for the entire 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 which results in a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This results in lower harmful emissions and less the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove that has an enormous glass window to see the fire. You can choose from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface for kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves built by Stovax the Pengiun complies with the latest 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 unauthorised fuels you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is achieved with an innovative clean combustion system that has been improved to include an air supply that is pre-heated that is inserted into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a better burn and less harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, known as an air wash, to provide you with a clear 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 that 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you use smokeless fuels.
