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 problems as well as dementia.
This DEFRA approved and Ecodesign stove is sleek and contemporary, heating rooms quickly and with little lag. The large flame view and airwash system help this stove look great in any room setting.
The Blithfield
The Blithfield is an eco-friendly and DEFRA-approved wood stove that seamlessly blends modern and traditional styles. It has stunning fire visuals thanks to its huge porthole-like window that is cleaned by an airwash system. It's specifically designed to burn logs as well as cooking, and it comes with a warming shelf as well as a fiddle rail. It's also customisable with handles and controls available in brass or chrome in six different colours to match your decor.
All Clock stoves come with a unique clockwork control which allows them to be one of the most controllable available in terms of heat/flame output. This also means that they've been carefully designed to meet the rigorous 2022 emissions level requirements of Ecodesign which is a UK-backed EU regulation aimed at improving the quality of our air.
This is made possible by the pre-heated tertiary heat being pulled in from the bottom of the stove, and the rate of combustion being controlled by a separate rotary air control that allows for extremely low emissions. This stove is one of the most efficient large stoves on the market. It has a DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and can burn wood that is up to 20% moisture.
Stovax has combined the classic design 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 add to its design and the sophisticated design of the firebox permits an uncluttered burn. This makes it SIA Ecodesign compatible and suitable for smoke control areas.
The Sheraton is available in two versions including a log-store model that fits flush into a fireplace breast with a chambered and a standard-leg model that can be fitted into an inglenook. Both have a nominal heat output of 5kW, and offer an excellent view of the fire through an enormous glass window. They're available in a range of finishes, including the matte black model shown and can be customised with a choice of optional extras including brass or stainless steel handles and a direct-air kit.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burner is a great way to add a bit of traditional charm to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly when it is engineered well and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet stringent safety and environmental standards, such as limit the emission of smoke to 5 grams of carbon monoxide per hour. To minimize the impact on your home, opt for an appliance with a large flame picture, a generous window and an airwash system that ensures the glass is clear.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these requirements. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer the highest heat output as well as a large window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable riddling grates on the multi-fuel version for those occasions when you're planning to burn logs. Both models are available with a choice of a transparent or a tracery glass door, which gives them a more gothic look. They can be used in any space, from country cottages and modern townhouses.
These stoves are extremely energy efficient, and boast an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is utilized efficiently as it can be. In addition the Huntingdon comes with a second air control to allow you to control the temperature 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 that allows for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both versions are available with either a black or graphite finish, making them easy to match to your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit just 5g CO2 per hour, which makes them considerably safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of CO2 per hour. This could be harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory issues.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter 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 that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts helps to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and less the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
The result is an extremely efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window which allows you to see the fire from inside. You can pick from a range of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will match your interior. This top-loading stove has a large flat surface for pans and kettles on.
Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun complies with the latest Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you use fuels that are not authorised, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles released into air.
cast iron wood burner is accomplished with a new clean burning system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels that are above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, known as an 'air wash', to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the brand new Penguin stove is compliant with the highest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you use smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Although old-fashioned wood burning stoves are popular research has proven that they release microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. These are a known cause of poor air quality, which has been associated with lung and heart problems, dementia and breathing issues. Fortunately, newer models have been made to higher standards and are DEFRA approved, which means that you can still enjoy the relaxing benefits of a fireplace in your home.
The Go Eco large wood burner is a larger version of the company's well-loved standard stove. It's also DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, which means it is already compliant with European restrictions on emissions which will take effect in 2022. Similar to its smaller counterpart it has a huge glass window for a stunning flame view as well as an impressive airwash system that ensures the glass is clean. It comes with an 80% energy rating and 5kW of heat output. The bigger model can be fitted into larger chimney openings, and is suitable for a variety of installation options.
It's as the name suggests this is the ideal large wood burner for those who like to glamp, but is equally suitable for any home installation.
