A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air
Wood-burners are a great way to heat rooms however, new research suggests that they emit harmful pollutants into the air. The tiny particles, PM2.5, have been associated with lung and heart issues as well as dementia.
This Ecodesign stove, which is DEFRA-approved, is sleek and modern 5kW model that heats rooms quickly with minimal lag time. The large flame view and airwash system also make this stove look stylish in any room.
The Blithfield
The Blithfield is an EcoDesign-ready and DEFRA-approved wood burner that blends contemporary and traditional styles. It has stunning fire visuals thanks to its huge porthole-like windows that are cleaned by an airwash system and is designed for both burning logs and cooking as it comes with a warming shelf as well as a fiddle rail. And it's nicely customisable with the handles and controls available in the choice of chrome or brass and in a choice of six different finishes to fit your home.
All Clock stoves feature their unique clockwork control which makes them among the most easily controlled in terms of heat output and flames on the market. This means that they are designed to meet the emission level of 2022 requirements of Ecodesign, the UK-backed EU regulation designed to improve 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 burn rate controlled with a separate rotary air control which allows for very 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 one of the best large stoves that are available.
Stovax has combined the classic styling of its Sheraton wood-burning stove with a contemporary high-efficiency, extremely 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 beauty, while the advanced design of the firebox permits 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 that is a log store model that will sit flush within the chambered chimney breast, and a standard leg model that's ideal for fitting 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. They're available in a range of finishes as well as the pictured matt black and can be customized with a choice of optional additional features like brass or stainless steel handles as well as a direct air kit.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is a great addition 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 must meet strict health and environmental standards that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce this impact on your home, it's important to select the stove that has a wide flame with a large window, a strong airwash system to keep the glass clear and a door with a removable handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that fulfills all of these requirements. The dedicated wood-burning and multifuel stoves are both DEFRA exempt and come with high heat output. They also feature a large viewing area for breathtaking views of flames and the multifuel model features a unique, closable riddling grates for when you want to burn logs. Both come with the option of a clear door or a tracery door for a more gothic aesthetic, making them suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
They are extremely energy efficient and have an A+ rating. This means that your fuel is used effectively as it can be. Additionally the Huntingdon has a second air control that enables 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 for more efficient cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available in graphite or black finish to match your current decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are built to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means they are considerably less harmful than older models. This is a massive improvement, as older stoves can produce more than 20g 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 following an excursion in winter or 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 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 burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates released in the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove that has large glass windows to see the fire. You can choose from a variety of colors and an elegant chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. The top loading stove comes with an enormous flat surface for placing kettles and pans.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It is only able to burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels you could face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved by a new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed that is delivered to the combustion chamber via channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and less harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash', to give you a clear view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin meets the strictest emission limits and is classified as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
Although old-fashioned wood burners are popular, research has proven that they release microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. These particles can cause poor air quality, which has been linked with lung and heart problems, dementia, and breathing issues. Fortunately, newer models have been made to meet higher standards and are DEFRA approved, which means that you can still enjoy the relaxing benefits of a fire in your home.
The Go Eco large wood burner is a larger version of the well-loved standard stove. It's also DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, which means it is already in compliance with European restrictions on emissions that will be in force in 2022. As with its smaller brother it comes with a massive window that offers a stunning flame view, as well as a powerful airwash system which keeps the glass clear. It has an energy efficiency of 80% rating and a 5kW output of heat. 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 it's the ideal large wood burner for those who love to glamp, but it's equally suitable for any home installation. It's a dual-fuel stove that's fully equipped to boil water and cooking in addition to burning logs. It's a clearSkies level five stove, which means it emits 90% less harmful emissions than an open fireplace and 80% less pollution than a stove older than 10 years.
