The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great addition to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet strict health and environmental standards, including limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, opt for a stove with large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system which keeps the glass clean.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all the requirements. The multifuel and wood-burning stoves are both DEFRA exempt and have an impressive heat output. They also feature a large viewing area for spectacular flame views, and the multifuel version comes with a unique riddling grates that are closable burning logs. Both come with the option of a transparent door or a tracery door for a more gothic look, making them suitable for all rooms from traditional cottages to modern townhouses.
They are extremely energy efficient and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring that your fuel will be used most efficiently. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control feature that lets you adjust your fireplace to a continuous state of operation, which can help reduce the cost of fuel, as well as reducing emissions.

All Ecodesign stoves are made to an emission limit of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are significantly less harmful than older models.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a walk in the winter or simply cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its brand new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burn of the gas produced by the fuel. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a powerful stove with an enormous glass window to view the fire. You can pick from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. The top loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing pans and kettles.
Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels then you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is accomplished through the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air-pre-heated supply 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 that are produced by the fuel which results in a better burn and the reduction of 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 ensures that the new Penguin stove is compliant with the highest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide 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 emit microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. These particles are known to cause poor air quality that has been linked with heart and lung issues and dementia, as well as breathing issues. However, modern models have been designed to meet higher standards and are DEFRA certified, which means you can still enjoy the relaxing effects of a log fire in your home.
