A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air
Wood burning stoves are excellent to heat rooms, but new research suggests that they release harmful pollutants into the air. These tiny particulates, PM2.5, have been linked with heart and lung issues, as well as dementia.
This Ecodesign stove that is DEFRA-approved is a sleek and contemporary 5kW model that heats rooms quickly and with very little lag time. The stove looks stunning in any room thanks to its large flame view, airwash system and elegant design.

It's also customizable, with handles and controls available in brass or chrome in six different colors to suit your home.
Each Clock stove has a unique 'clockwork control' that allows them to be one of the most manageable on the market in terms of the amount of heat or flame output. This also means that they've been carefully engineered to meet the stringent 2022 emissions level requirements of Ecodesign; the UK-backed EU regulation that aims to improve our air quality.
This is achieved by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove, and controlling the rate of combustion with an air control. This allows for ultra-low emission. 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 that is up to 20% moist.
Stovax has taken the classic styling of their Sheraton wood burning stove and paired it with a state-of-the-art highly efficient and low emission combustion system to create a log stove that will fit seamlessly into a range of traditional and contemporary designs. The gorgeous bevelled frame and cornicing on the stove add to its aesthetics and the sophisticated design of the firebox allows for a clean burn. This makes it SIA Ecodesign capable and suitable for smoke control areas.
The Sheraton is available in two different versions one of which is a log-store model that can be fitted flush into a chambered fireplace breast and a standard-leg model which can be installed into an inglenook. Both models have a nominal output of 5kW and offer an excellent view of the fire through the large glass panel. They're available in a choice of finishes as well as the matte black model shown and can be customized with a choice of optional accessories like stainless or brass steel handles and a direct-air kit.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great addition to any home. It's also a great way to heat your home and is especially effective when it's designed with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners have to meet strict safety and environmental standards, for example, limiting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To lessen the impact on your home, it's important to choose a stove that has a large flame image, a large window, an airwash system to keep the glass clear, and a removable door handle for security and convenience.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a huge traditional stove that fulfills all the requirements. The wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with a high heat output and a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames 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 and one with a tracery for a more gothic look and are suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
very small wood burning stove are extremely efficient in energy use and have an A+ efficiency rating, which means that the fuel you use is utilized as efficiently as possible. Additionally the Huntingdon comes with a second air control that allows you to regulate the heat of your fireplace, meaning you can adjust it to operate at an even temperature, thereby decreasing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with either a graphite or black finish, making them easy to match to your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are significantly less harmful than older models. This is a massive improvement over older stoves, which can produce more than 20g of CO2 each hour, which is harmful to your health and increase your risk of suffering from respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an excursion in winter or to cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its 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 which results in a more efficient burning of fuel gases. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a powerful stove that has a large glass window to see the fire. You can pick from a variety of colors and a chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top-loading stove has a large flat surface that you can place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves made by Stovax, the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into the air.
This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a more complete combustion and less harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, known as an air wash, to give you an unobstructed view of flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Research has revealed that older-style wood-burning stoves emit tiny sooty particles in the air. These are a known cause of poor air quality, which has been linked to heart and lung problems, dementia and breathing issues. Newer models are DEFRA-approved and made to higher standards, so you can still enjoy a cozy fireplace at home.
The Go Eco large wood stove is a wide-screen version of the popular standard stove. It is also DEFRA-exempt and SIA Ecodesign-ready which means it is in compliance with European emission restrictions that will come into effect in 2022.
