This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features to ensure its excellent efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burn of the gases generated by the fuel.

Like all stoves made by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It can only burn wood and smokeless firewoods that are approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles released into air.
This is achieved by the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in a better burn and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed towards the glass, which gives you a clearer view of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the brand new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
