This is accomplished by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove and regulating the burn rate with a separate air control. This allows for extremely low emission. With a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the capability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content this is one of the top large stoves on the market.

The Huntingdon

A large wood burning stove is a great way to add a bit of classic character to any home. It's also a great method to heat your home particularly when it's engineered with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners have to meet strict standards for health and environmental protection that include limiting the emission of smoke up to 5g carbon monoxide every hour. To lessen the impact on your home, select an appliance with a large flame picture with a large window and an airwash system that keeps the glass clear.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large, traditional stove that meets these specifications. The wood-burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer an impressive heat output, a large viewing window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grates on the multi-fuel version for those times when you're looking to burn wood. Both come with the option of a clear door and one with a tracery to give a more Gothic look and are suitable for all rooms from rustic cottages to modern townhouses.

They are extremely energy efficient and come with an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is used as efficiently as it can be. The Huntingdon also features a secondary 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 personalization and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit that makes it easier for cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in either a black or graphite finish, making them easy to match to your existing decor.

All Ecodesign stoves emit a maximum of only 5g CO2 an hour, making them significantly safer than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement, as older stoves can release more than 20g of CO2 per hour, which is harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a walk in the winter or cook a family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean-burn system that incorporates three different features to achieve its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts help to maintain high internal temperatures, resulting in an even more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particles that are released into the atmosphere.

The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window that really lets you see the fire in the room. There is a choice of handles in different colors and an angled chrome pedestal to match your interior. This top-loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all necessary tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you use fuels that are not authorised you could face fines of up to PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into the air.

This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air-pre-heated supply that is introduced to the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, leading to the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air that is directed at 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 is in compliance with the most stringent emission limits and is classed as an  Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.

The Go Eco

Although old-fashioned wood burning stoves are popular, research has shown that they emit microscopic sooty particles to the atmosphere. They are a major cause of poor air quality, which has been associated with lung and heart problems, dementia and breathing problems. Newer models are DEFRA-approved and manufactured to higher standards, so you can still enjoy a relaxing fire in your home.

The Go Eco large wood burner is a wide version of the popular standard stove. It's also DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, meaning it is already compliant with European emission standards which will take effect in 2022. As with its smaller brother it comes with a massive window that offers a stunning flame view and a powerful airwash system that ensures the glass is clean. It has an energy efficiency of 80% rating and a 5kW heat output. The larger model means it will fit in bigger chimney openings and is suitable for a variety of installation options.


Like the name suggests, this is the perfect large wood burner for those who love to glamp, but is equally suitable for any home installation. It's a dual-fuel stove that's equipped to boil water and cooking, as well as burning logs.

The GO ECO stove is a multi-fuel stove that has been approved by DEFRA. It boasts an efficiency of 80% rate and a maximum heat output of 5 kW. It's also clearSkies level five stove, which means it can be used in smoke-control zones. It can also be used with softwood or kiln-dried timber.
