The Huntingdon
A large wood burner is the perfect option to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has good seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict health and environmental standards and must limit the amount of smoke emissions to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's important to select an appliance with a large flame picture with a generous window, an airwash system to keep the glass clear and a door with a removable handle for security and convenience.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large, traditional stove that meets these specifications. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with an impressive heat output, a large viewing window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable riddling grates on the multi-fuel version for those times when you're planning to burn logs. Both come with the option of a clear door and a tracery door to give a more Gothic look, making them ideal for any space from traditional cottages to modern townhouses.
These stoves are extremely energy efficient and boast an A+ rating. This means that your fuel is utilized efficiently as it can be. In addition the Huntingdon features a secondary air control that allows you to control the heat of your fireplace, meaning you can adjust it to operate at a steady state, cutting down on fuel costs and reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door for added personalization and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in either a graphite or black finish, making them easy to match with your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are built to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, which means that they are much less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves could emit up to 20g of CO2 an hour. This could be dangerous to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an excursion in winter or cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts help to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass window that lets you see the fire from inside. You can choose from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal for placing pans and kettles.
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 for burning 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 to the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved by a new clean-burn system which has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air that is delivered to the combustion chamber through jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases produced by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air which is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash', to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin is in compliance with the most stringent 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 if you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
