A large wood burning stove is the perfect option to add a touch of character to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially if it is well-engineered and has good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to meet stringent health and environmental standards, for example, limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, choose the stove that has large flame pictures, a generous window and an airwash system that ensures the glass is clear.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge, traditional stove that meets these requirements. second hand wood burning stoves dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves and offer the highest heat output, a large viewing window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable grille on the multifuel model to help you when looking to burn wood.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or to cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its brand new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts help to keep the internal temperature high and thereby allowing for a more complete burning of the fuel gases. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted in the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from an impressively large glass window which allows you to see the fire in the room. There's a selection of colored handles and a chrome pedestal that is curved to suit your interiors. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.
The Pengiun, like all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn non-approved fuels, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished with the new clean burning system that has been upgraded to include a new air supply that is inserted into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, also known as an 'air wash' to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
This combination of systems guarantees 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 than 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
