A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air

Wood burning stoves are a great way to heat your home, but new data suggests that they release harmful pollutants into the air. These tiny particles, PM2.5, have been linked to lung and heart problems as well as dementia.

This DEFRA Ecodesign stove is sleek and modern heating rooms quickly and with minimal lag. The large flame view and airwash system help this stove look great in any setting.

The Blithfield

The Blithfield is a DEFRA approved and EcoDesign-ready wood burner that straddles traditional and modern styles.

And it's nicely customisable with the handles and controls that come in the choice of brass or chrome and with a choice of six different finishes to suit your home.

Each Clock stove has a unique 'clockwork control' which makes them one of the most controlled on the market in terms of the amount of heat or large wood burner flame output. This also means that they have been designed with care to meet the strict emission standards of 2022 set by Ecodesign the UK-backed EU regulation that aims to improve the quality of our air.

This is made possible by the pre-heated tertiary heat being drawn in from the bottom of the stove, and the burn rate controlled with an additional rotary air control that allows for extremely low emissions. Together with a DEFRA-approved Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the capability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content it is one of the best large stoves on the market.

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 Huntingdon

A large wood stove is a great addition to any home. It's also a great option to keep your home warm particularly when it's engineered with a high efficiency during the winter months. New log burners must meet strict health and environmental standards and must limit the amount of smoke emissions to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To minimize the impact on your home, opt for a stove with large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system that keeps the glass clean.

Stovax's Huntingdon is a large traditional stove that meets all of these requirements. The wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with an impressive heat output as well as a large window that offers stunning views of the flame and a unique closable riddling grate on the multi-fuel variant for those occasions when you're wanting to burn logs. Both models are available with a choice of a transparent or a tracery glass door that gives them a more Gothic appearance. They're suitable for any space that includes country cottages as well as modern townhouses.

These stoves are extremely energy efficient and have an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is utilized as efficiently as it can be. The Huntingdon has a second air-control feature that lets you adjust your woodburning fireplace to a constant operating state, thereby reducing fuel costs, and lowering emissions.

The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit to facilitate more efficient cleaning and maintenance. Both versions come in graphite or black finish to match your current decor.

All Ecodesign stoves emit a maximum of only 5g CO2 an hour, which makes them considerably safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older woodburning stoves could emit up to 20g of CO2 per hour. This can be harmful to your health and increase the risk of respiratory issues.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

As the name suggests, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a walk in the winter or to cook a family meal. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete combustion of the gases produced by the fuel. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less particulates that are emitted into the air.

The result is a highly efficient stove that also benefits from a stunningly large glass window that lets you see the fire from inside. You can pick from a range of colors and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top loading stove also has a large flat surface for pans and kettles on.

The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood burners near me and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined as much as PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into the air.

This is accomplished with an innovative clean burn system that has been improved to include a new pre-heated air feed that is inserted into the combustion chamber via jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated gas ignites the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, also 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 than 20 mg/m3 if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you burn smokeless fuels.

The Go Eco

While old-style wood burners are popular, studies have shown that they release tiny sooty particles into the air. These particles can cause poor air quality, which has been linked with lung and heart problems and dementia, as well as breathing problems. Newer models are DEFRA-approved and are built to higher standards, so you can still enjoy a cozy fireplace at home.
