This is accomplished by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove, and controlling the rate of combustion with an air control. This allows for ultra-low emission. Together with a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the capability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content this is among the most powerful large stoves available on the market.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is an excellent option to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, especially when it is engineered well and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet strict environmental and health standards, for example, limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce the impact on your home, choose an appliance with large flame pictures, a generous window and an airwash system that ensures the glass is clean.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all the specifications. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with a high heat output, a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique, closable grates on the multi-fuel version for those times when you're wanting to burn logs. Both stoves come with the option of a transparent door or an engraved door to give a more Gothic look which makes them ideal for any space 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 effectively. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control feature that lets you set your fireplace to a constant operating state, thereby reducing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate more efficient cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with the option of a graphite or black finish which makes them easy to match with your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are made to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means they are considerably less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of CO2 an hour. This can be harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after a winter walk or to cook a meal for the family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burning of the gases generated by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces particles that are released into the atmosphere.
The result is an efficient stove with a large glass window to view the flame. You can choose from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves, has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for the purpose of burning wood or smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn non-approved fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is accomplished by a new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases created by the fuel, resulting in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash' to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
This combination of systems ensures 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 that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
