This means that they're also carefully engineered to meet the 2022 emission requirements of Ecodesign which is a UK-backed EU regulation designed to improve air quality.
This is accomplished by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove, and controlling the rate of combustion with a separate air control. This allows for extremely low emission. With a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the ability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content this is among the top large stoves that are available.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great way to add a bit of traditional charm to any home. It's also a great way to heat your home particularly when it's engineered with good seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict environmental and health standards that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g 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 the specifications. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with a high heat output and a large viewing window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable grate on the multi-fuel variant for those occasions when you're wanting to burn logs. Both come with the option of a clear door and one with a tracery to give a more Gothic look, making them suitable for any room from traditional cottages to modern townhouses.
These stoves are incredibly efficient in energy use and have an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring your fuel is used most efficiently. In indoor wood burning stove to that, the Huntingdon has a second air control to allow you to control the temperature of your fireplace, so you can set it to operate at an even temperature, thereby decreasing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon offer either a plain or chancery arched door for added personalization, while the multi-fuel version can be purchased with an external riddling kit to simplify cleaning and maintenance.

All Ecodesign stoves are made to an emission limit of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are much less harmful than older models.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after a winter walk or cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product uses a new clean-burn system that incorporates three different features to achieve its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures elevated, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. 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 windows which allows you to see the fire inside. You can pick from a variety of colours and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.
Like all stoves built by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to use non-approved fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is accomplished with a new clean burn system that has been improved to include a new air supply that is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete combustion and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces a cushion of air that is directed at the glass, known as an 'air wash', to give you an unobstructed view of 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 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
