A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air
Wood burners are great to heat rooms, but new research suggests they release harmful pollutants into the air. These tiny particles, PM2.5, have been associated with lung and heart issues, as well as dementia.
This DEFRA-approved and Ecodesign stove is a modern and sleek 5kW unit that heats rooms quickly and with very little lag time. The large flame view and airwash system help this stove look good in any room.
Best wood burning stoves is a DEFRA-approved, EcoDesign-ready wood burner which perfectly blends modern and traditional styles. It features a huge porthole-like window that's maintained clean by an airwash system. It's built for cooking and burning logs since it comes with warming rack and a fiddle rail. It's also customizable with the handles and controls that come in the option of brass or chrome and in a choice of six different finishes to fit your home.
All Clock stoves come with their unique 'clockwork' control, which makes them one of the most easily controlled in terms of heat output and flames available. This means that they are also carefully engineered to meet the emission level of 2022 requirements of Ecodesign which is a 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 rate of combustion being controlled by an air control rotary allowing for ultra-low emissions. With a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the capability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content this is among 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 a Log Burner that will blend seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings. The gorgeous bevelled frame and the cornicing of the stove contribute to its aesthetics, while the advanced design of the firebox allows for an uncluttered burn. This makes it SIA Ecodesign capable and suitable for smoke-control zones.
There are two variations of the Sheraton that are available: a log store version that is designed to be flush with the chambered chimney breast, and a standard leg model that's ideal to fit into an inglenook opening. Both have a nominal heat output of 5kW and provide an excellent view of the fire through a large glass window. They are available in a variety of finishes, including the pictured matt black and can be customized with a choice of optional accessories like stainless or brass steel handles and direct air kit.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is the perfect option to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially if it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict health and environmental standards that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's essential to opt for a stove with a large flame picture with a generous window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clean, and a removable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills these specifications. The wood-burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves and offer a high heat output as well as a large window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grates on the multi-fuel version to help you when planning to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a transparent door or an engraved door for a more gothic aesthetic which makes them ideal for any space from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
They are extremely energy efficient and boast an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring your fuel is used effectively. The Huntingdon also comes with a second air-control, which lets you set your fireplace to a continuous operating state, thereby reducing the cost of fuel and reducing emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit for easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with a choice of graphite or black finish which makes them easy to match with your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are built to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are significantly less harmful than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement, as older stoves can produce more than 20g of CO2 per hour, which could be harmful to your health and increase your risk of respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or to cook an evening meal for the entire 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 helps to maintain high internal temperatures, resulting in an even more complete combustion of fuel gases. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove with large glass windows to see the fire. You can choose from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that matches your interior. The top loading stove boasts a wide flat surface that you can place kettles and pans on.
The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels, you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.
This is accomplished through an innovative clean-burn system which has been upgraded with an air-pre-heated supply that is introduced to the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the gaseous gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in an entire burn that produces less harmful emissions. conservatory wood burner creates an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash' to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classified as an ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
While old-style wood burning stoves are popular research has proven that they release tiny sooty particles to the atmosphere. These particles have been proven to cause poor air quality that has been linked to heart and lung issues as well as dementia and breathing problems. Modern models are DEFRA-approved and manufactured to meet higher standards, meaning you can still enjoy a relaxing log fire at home.
The Go Eco large wood burner is a wide version of the well-loved standard stove. It's also DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, which means it already meets the European emission standards that will be in force in 2022. Similar to its smaller counterpart it has a huge window for a fantastic flame view as well as an impressive airwash system which keeps the glass clear. It has a energy efficiency of 80% and 5kW of heat output. The wider model means it will fit in bigger chimney openings and can be used for a variety of installation options.
It's as the name suggests it's the ideal large wood burner for those who like to glamp, but it's equally good for any home installation. This dual fuel stove is equipped to boil water, cook and burn logs. It's an approved level five clearSkies stove that means it creates 90% less carbon dioxide than an open fire and 80percent less than a stove that's been in use for 10 years.
The GO ECO stove is a multi-fuel stove that is approved by DEFRA. It boasts an efficiency of 80% rate and a maximum heat output of 5 kW. It's also a five-level clearSkies stove.
