The Huntingdon
A large wood burner is a great option to add a touch of classic character to any home. It's also a great way to heat your home and is especially effective when it's designed with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners have to meet strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, it's important to choose a stove that has a large flame image, a large window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clear and a movable door handle for security and convenience.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a huge traditional stove that fulfills all of these specifications. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer a high heat output, a large viewing window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're wanting to burn logs. Both models come with a choice of a transparent or a tracery glass door that provides them with a more gothic look. They are suitable for any space that includes country cottages as well as modern townhouses.
These stoves are extremely energy efficient and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring the fuel you use is utilized effectively. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control feature that lets you adjust your fireplace to a constant operating state, thereby reducing fuel costs, and lowering emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit that allows for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are made to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, which means that they are much less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement, considering that older stoves can release more than 20g CO2 per hour, which could be detrimental to your health and increase the risk of suffering from respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
The name implies the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or to cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts helps to maintain high internal temperatures, resulting in an even more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also has a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire from inside. There is a choice of colored handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to suit your interiors. The top loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built by Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required 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 be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles that are 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 through jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed at the glass to give you an improved view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the brand new Penguin stove meets the strictest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
While old-style wood burners are popular, research has shown that they release microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. They are a major cause of poor air quality, which has been associated with lung and heart issues, dementia, and breathing issues. However, modern models are built to meet higher standards and are DEFRA approved, meaning you can still enjoy the soothing effects of a log fire in your home.
The Go Eco large wood stove is a wide-screen version of the popular standard stove. It is also DEFRA-exempt and SIA Ecodesign-ready, which means it already is in compliance with European emission restrictions that will come into the market in 2022.
