This means that they're specially designed to meet 2022 emission level requirements of Ecodesign, the UK-backed EU regulation that aims to improve our air quality.
This is possible due to the tertiary air that has been heated prior to being pulled in from the lower part of the stove and the burn rate controlled with an additional rotary air control allowing for ultra-low emissions. Together with a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the ability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content, this is one of the top large stoves that are available.

This makes it SIA Ecodesign compatible and suitable for smoke control areas.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is an excellent way to add a bit of character to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially when it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners must comply with strict environmental and health standards, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's crucial to opt for the stove that has a wide flame picture with a generous window, an airwash system to keep the glass clean and a movable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large, traditional stove that meets these requirements. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with the highest heat output, a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique, closable grate on the multi-fuel variant for those times when you're wanting to burn logs. Both models come with a choice of transparent or a tracery glass door, which gives them a more Gothic appearance. They are suitable for any room, from country cottages and contemporary townhouses.
They are extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption and boast an A+ efficiency rating, which means that your fuel will be used effectively. The Huntingdon also features a secondary air-control, which lets you set your fireplace to a continuous 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 for added customisability and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit only 5g of CO2 per hour, making them substantially safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves could emit up to 20g of carbon dioxide an hour. This can be harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or cook an entire family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean-burn system that incorporates three different features to achieve its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a more complete combustion of the gas produced by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and less particulates that are emitted into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window that lets you see the fire inside. There are a variety of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to match your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It can only be used for the purpose of burning wood or smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished with a new clean burning system that has been improved to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed at the glass, known as an 'air wash' to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
This combination of systems ensures 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 when burning wood, and less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
