All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning they are considerably less harmful than older models.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

Like the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or simply cook the family meal. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.

The result is an efficient stove with large glass windows to view the flame. You can pick from a range of colors and a chrome pedestal that matches your interior. This top loading stove has a large flat surface for placing pans and kettles.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax the Pengiun is compliant with the most recent Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless fuels approved by DEFRA. If you were to use unauthorised fuels then you could be penalized up to PS1,000 an hour for the amount of particulates released into atmosphere.

This is accomplished by an innovative clean burn system that has been upgraded to incorporate an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete combustion and less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash', to provide you with a clear view of the flames.

This combination of systems guarantees that the new Penguin stove is compliant with the highest emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
