A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air
Wood-burners are a great way for heating rooms however, new research suggests that they also emit harmful pollutants into the air. These tiny particles, 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 unit that heats rooms quickly and has a very little lag time. This stove looks good in any room thanks to its large flame view and airwash system, as well as its sleek design.
The Blithfield
The Blithfield is a DEFRA-approved and EcoDesign-ready wood burner that straddles traditional and modern styles. It features a huge porthole-like window that's cleaned with an airwash system. It's built for cooking and burning logs since it includes warming rack and fiddle rail. It's also customisable, with handles and controls that are available in brass or chrome in six different colours to fit your style.
All Clock stoves have their unique 'clockwork' control, which makes them one of the most controllable in terms of flame/heat output on the market. This also means that they have been designed with care to meet the strict emission standards of 2022 set by Ecodesign; the UK-backed EU regulation that aims to improve the quality of our air.
This is achieved by drawing in pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove and regulating the burning rate using a separate air control. This allows for extremely low emission. 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 most powerful large stoves available on the market.
Stovax has incorporated the classic styling of its Sheraton wood-burning stove with a modern efficient, highly efficient, and low emission combustion system to create an efficient Log Burner that can blend seamlessly into traditional and contemporary settings. The stunning bevelled frame and cornicing on the stove enhance its beauty while the modern design of the firebox allows for an efficient and clean burning. This makes it SIA Ecodesign capable and suitable for smoke control areas.
There are two variations of the Sheraton one being the log store version that is designed to be flush with a chambered chimney breast and a standard leg model that is ideal to fit into an inglenook opening. Both models have a maximum heat output of 5kW, and offer an excellent view of the fire through an enormous glass window. The stoves are available in different finishes such as the matt black featured. They can also be customized with optional accessories like stainless steel or brass handles or a direct air kit.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is an excellent option to add a touch of classic character to any home. It's also a great heating option, especially when it is well-engineered and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners must comply with strict health and environmental standards, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To reduce freestanding wood burner on your home, choose the stove that has large flame pictures with a large window and an airwash system that ensures the glass is clear.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these specifications. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with the highest heat output and a large viewing window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable grille on the multifuel model for those occasions when you're looking to burn wood. Both models are available with a choice of transparent or a tracery glass door which provides them with a more gothic appearance. They're suitable for any space that includes country cottages as well as modern townhouses.
They are extremely efficient in energy use and have an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring your fuel is used effectively. In addition the Huntingdon has a second air control to allow you to regulate the heat of your fireplace, meaning you can adjust it to operate at an even temperature, thereby cutting down on fuel costs and reducing emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions come with a graphite or black finish to match your current decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to an emission limit of 5g CO2 per hour. This means that they are significantly less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of CO2 per hour. This is detrimental to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a wintry walk or simply cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean burn system that has three distinct features to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a much more complete burning of the gas produced by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and reduces particles that are released into the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove with large glass windows to see the fire. There is a choice of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to suit your interiors. This top loading stove also boasts a wide flat surface to place kettles and pans on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is achieved with the new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites 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 provide you with an unobstructed view of flames.
The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide if you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Although old-fashioned wood burning stoves are popular research has shown that they release microscopic sooty particles to the atmosphere. These are a known cause of poor air quality, which has been linked to lung and heart issues, dementia and breathing issues. Newer models are DEFRA-approved and manufactured to higher standards, which means you can still enjoy a cozy fireplace at home.
The Go Eco large wood burner is a large version of the well-loved standard stove. It is DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, meaning it is already compliant with European emission limits which will take effect in 2022. Like its smaller sibling it comes with a massive window that offers a stunning flame view and a powerful airwash system that ensures the glass is clean. It boasts an 80% energy efficiency rating and a 5kW output of heat. The bigger model can be fitted into larger chimney openings, and is suitable for various installation options.
Like the name suggests this is the ideal large wood burner for those who like to glamp, but is equally suitable for any home installation. This dual fuel stove is fully equipped to heat water, cook and even burn logs. It's a ClearSkies level five stove, meaning that it produces 90% less pollution than an open fireplace and 80percent less pollution than a stove older than 10 years.
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 5kW.
