A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air

Wood burners are great for heating rooms, but new research suggests that they release harmful pollutants into the air. The tiny particles, PM2.5, have been linked with heart and lung issues as well as dementia.

This DEFRA-approved and Ecodesign stove is a modern wood burner and sleek 5kW unit that heats rooms quickly and with the least amount of lag. The large flame view and airwash system make this stove look stylish in any room setting.

The Blithfield

The Blithfield is an eco-friendly and DEFRA-approved small wood burning heater stove that perfectly blends contemporary 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 as it comes with a warming rack and a fiddle rail. It's also customisable with handles and controls that are available in brass or chrome in six different colors to fit your style.

All Clock stoves feature their unique 'clockwork' control, making them among the most easily controlled in terms of flame/heat output on the market. This also means that they've been designed with care to meet the strict emission standards of 2022 set by Ecodesign which is a UK-backed EU regulation aimed at improving our air quality.

This is possible due to the pre-heated tertiary heat being drawn into the lower part of the stove and the burn rate controlled with an additional rotary air control which allows for very low emissions. This stove is one of the most efficient large stoves on the market. It comes with an DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and is able to burn wood up to 20% moist.

Stovax has combined the classic design of its Sheraton wood-burning stove with a contemporary efficient, highly efficient, and low-emission combustion system to create an efficient Log Burner that can blend seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings.

The Sheraton is available in two versions: a log-store version that can be fitted flush into a fireplace breast with a chambered, and a standard-leg model that can be fitted into an inglenook. Both models have a nominal power output of 5kW and offer great fire viewing through a large glass panel. The stoves are available in various finishes, including the matt black model shown.

The Huntingdon

A large wood stove is an excellent way to add a bit of character to any home. It is also a great heating option, especially when it is well-engineered and has good seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict standards for health and environmental protection that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's crucial to select the stove with a large flame image, a large window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clean, and a removable door handle for safety and convenience.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills these requirements. The multifuel and wood-burning stoves both DEFRA exempt and come with a high heat output. They also come with an extensive viewing area to enjoy stunning views of the flame and the multifuel version has a unique riddling grates that are closable when you want to burn logs. Both models come with the choice of a clear door and one with a tracery to give a more Gothic look which makes them suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.

These stoves are incredibly efficient in energy use and have an A+ efficiency rating, ensuring that your fuel will be used effectively. The Huntingdon has a second air-control that allows you to set your fireplace to a continuous state of operation, which can help reduce the cost of fuel, as well as reducing emissions.

The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available in a choice of graphite or black finishes which makes them easy to match with your existing decor.

All Ecodesign stoves are made to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means they are considerably less harmful than older models. This is a hugely significant improvement, considering that older stoves can produce more than 20g of CO2 per hour, which can be harmful to your health and increase your chances of developing respiratory issues.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows following a winter walk or to cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its brand new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to keep the internal temperature high, resulting in an even more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This results in lower harmful emissions and reduces 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 inside. You can pick from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that matches your interior. This top loading stove has an enormous flat surface for placing pans and kettles.

The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood burning fires and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels then you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates that are released into the atmosphere.

This is accomplished with an innovative clean combustion system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the volatile gases released by the fuel, resulting in a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed towards the glass to give you better views of the flames.

The combination of these systems ensures that the new Penguin complies with the strictest emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.

The Go Eco

Studies have shown that old-fashioned wood-burning stoves emit tiny particles of soot in air. These particles can cause poor air quality that has been linked with lung and heart problems, dementia, and breathing problems. The latest models are built to meet higher standards and are DEFRA certified, which means you can still enjoy the relaxing benefits of a fireplace in your home.

The Go Eco large wood burner is a wide version of the popular standard stove.

It features a large glass to enjoy the flames and an airwash system that keeps it clean. It boasts an energy efficiency of 80% rating and a 5kW output of heat. The wider model means it can be installed in larger chimney openings and is suitable for a range of installation options.

It's a dual fuel stove that's fully equipped for boiling water and cooking in addition to burning logs. It's a clearSkies stove that is level five that means it emits 90% less carbon dioxide than an open flame and 80percent less than a stove that's been in use for 10 years.

The GO ECO is a DEFRA-approved, multi-fuel stove with an 80% efficiency rating and 5kW of heat output. It's also a clearSkies level five stove, which means it can be used in smoke-control areas.
