This stove is among the most efficient large stoves available. It has a DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and is able to burn wood up to 20% moisture.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is an excellent way to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce the impact on your home, choose an appliance with large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system that ensures the glass is clear.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge, traditional stove that meets the requirements. The wood-burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer an impressive heat output as well as a large window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable grates on the multi-fuel version for those times when you're wanting to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a clear door or one with a tracery to give a more Gothic look, making them suitable for any room from rustic cottages to modern townhouses.
These stoves are extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption and boast an A+ efficiency rating, which means that the fuel you use is utilized most efficiently. In addition the Huntingdon has a second air control to allow you to control the heat of your fireplace, meaning you can set it to operate in a steady state, cutting down on fuel costs and reducing emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit just 5g CO2 per hour, making them substantially safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves could emit up to 20g of CO2 an hour. This can be dangerous to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following an excursion in winter or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a much more complete burning 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 efficient stove that has a large glass window to view the fire. You can pick from a variety of colors and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top loading stove also features a large flat surface for pans and kettles on.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system which has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, which is directed at the glass to provide a clearer view of the flames.
This combination of systems guarantees that the new Penguin stove is compliant with the highest 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 burn smokeless fuels.
