The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is the perfect option to add a touch of classic character to any home. It's also a great way to keep your home warm and is especially effective when it's designed with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners are required to meet stringent safety and environmental standards, such as limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, it's important to opt for an appliance that has a wide flame with a large window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clear and a door with a removable handle for security and convenience.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge traditional stove that meets the specifications. The wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer a high heat output, a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable riddling grate on the multi-fuel variant to help you when wanting to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a clear door and a tracery door for a more gothic look and are suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
These stoves are extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring your fuel will be used as efficiently as possible. Additionally, the Huntingdon has a second air control to allow you to control the temperature of your fireplace, meaning you can set it to operate in a steady state, decreasing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon offer either a plain or chancery arched door for added customisability and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with a choice of graphite or black finish making them easy to match to your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are built to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means that they are much less harmful than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement over older stoves, which can release more than 20g of CO2 each hour, which can be damaging to your health and increase the chances of developing respiratory issues.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after a winter walk or cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a powerful stove that has an enormous glass window to view the fire. You can pick from a variety of colors and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface for pans and kettles on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is achieved by the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash' to give you a clear view of the flames.
This combination of systems guarantees that the brand new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Studies have shown that old-fashioned wood-burning stoves emit tiny particles of soot in the air. These particles are known 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 meet higher standards and are DEFRA approved, meaning you can still enjoy the relaxing effects of a log fire in your home.
