The Huntingdon

A large wood stove is an excellent addition to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, especially if it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet strict environmental and health standards, including restricting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

The name implies the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or simply cook a family meal. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its brand new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to keep the internal temperature high, resulting in an even more efficient burning of fuel gases. This helps reduce harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released into the air.

The result is a powerful stove with an enormous glass window to view the fire. There's a selection of colored handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to match your interior. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface for the placement of kettles and pans.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn freestanding wood burner and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels then you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.

This is achieved with a new clean burning system that has been improved to include a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, also known as a cushion of air that is directed at the glass to provide an improved 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 classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
