The Huntingdon
A large wood burner is a great way to add a touch of classic character to any home. It's also a great method to keep your home warm, especially when it's well-engineered with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners must comply with strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide per hour.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a wintry walk or to cook the family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean-burn system that incorporates three different features to achieve its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete combustion of the gases produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. You can choose from a range of colors and the chrome pedestal will match your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels you could face fines of up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved with the new clean combustion system that has been improved to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air, which is directed towards the glass to give you better views 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 if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you use smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
