This means that they are also carefully engineered to meet 2022 emission level requirements of Ecodesign, the UK-backed EU regulation that aims to improve the quality of our air.
This is achieved by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove, and controlling the burn rate with a separate air control. This allows for extremely low emission. This stove is among the most efficient large stoves available. It has a DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and can burn wood that is up to 20% moisture.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove can be a wonderful addition to any home. It's also a great heating option, particularly when it is engineered well and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to comply with strict health and environmental standards, such as limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's essential to select an appliance with a large flame picture with a generous window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clean and a door with a removable handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills these requirements. The wood-burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer an impressive heat output as well as a large window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grille on the multifuel model for those times when you're looking to burn wood. Both stoves come with the option of a clear door or a tracery door to give a more Gothic look and are suitable for all rooms from rustic cottages to modern townhouses.
These stoves are extremely energy efficient, and boast an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is utilized as efficiently as it can be. The Huntingdon has a second air-control that allows you to set your fireplace to a constant state of operation, reducing fuel costs, and lowering emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door to provide customisability and the multi-fuel version can be purchased with an external riddling kit that makes it easier for cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in a choice of graphite or black finishes making them easy to match with your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are built to an emission limit of 5g CO2 per hour. This means that they are much less harmful than older models. This is a massive improvement over older stoves, which can emit more than 20g of CO2 each hour, which could be damaging to your health and increase your risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or to cook an evening meal for the entire family. 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 help to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is an efficient stove with large glass windows to view the flame. You can choose from a variety of colours and the chrome pedestal will match your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface for placing pans and kettles.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels, you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished by the new clean burn system that has been improved to include a new pre-heated air feed that is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, resulting in a more complete combustion and less harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, also known as an air wash, to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
This combination of systems guarantees that the brand new Penguin stove meets the strictest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Although old-fashioned wood burning stoves are popular, research has proven that they release microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. These are a known cause of poor air quality which has been linked to lung and heart issues, dementia, and breathing issues.
