The Huntingdon

New log burners have to meet stringent health and environmental standards, such as restricting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or cook a family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete combustion of the gases produced by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particulates that are emitted into the air.

The result is an efficient stove that has large glass windows to view the fire. There's a selection of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface that is ideal for the placement of kettles and pans.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It is only suitable for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use non-approved fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished by the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air which is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash', to give you an unobstructed view of the flames.

The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
