A large wood burning stove is a great option to add a touch of character to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, especially when it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners must comply with strict standards for health and environmental protection, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's crucial to opt for an appliance that has a wide flame picture with a generous window, a robust airwash system to keep the glass clear and a movable door handle for security and convenience.

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 is equipped with a brand new clean burn system which has three distinct features to ensure its excellent efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts helps to keep the internal temperature high which results in a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also comes with a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire inside. You can pick from a range of colors and the chrome pedestal will complement your interior. The top loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing pans and kettles.
The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is accomplished through an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air pre-heated feed that is delivered to the combustion chamber through channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, also known as a cushion of air, which is directed towards the glass, which gives you a clearer view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures 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 when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
