Each Clock stove has a unique clockwork control which makes them one of the most controllable on the market in terms of the amount of heat or flame output. This also means that they've been carefully engineered to meet the stringent 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 pre-heated tertiary air being drawn into the bottom of the stove, and the rate of combustion being controlled by an additional rotary air control which allows for very low emissions. This stove is among the most efficient large stoves on the market. It comes with a DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and can burn wood up to 20% moist.
Stovax has taken the classic design of their Sheraton wood burning stove and combined it with a modern highly efficient and low emission combustion system to create a log burner that will fit seamlessly into an array of traditional and contemporary settings.

This makes it SIA Ecodesign ready and suitable for smoke control areas.
The Sheraton is available in two versions one of which is a log-store model that fits flush into a chambered fireplace breast as well as a standard-leg version that can be inserted into an inglenook. Both models have a maximum heat output of 5kW, and offer excellent fire viewing through a large glass window.

The Huntingdon
A large wood burning stove is the perfect way to add a bit of classic character to any home. It's also a fantastic heating option, especially when it is engineered well and has a good seasonal efficiency. New log burners are required to comply with strict health and environmental standards, including 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 large flame pictures with a large window, as well as an airwash system which keeps the glass clear.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that fulfills these requirements. The wood burning and multifuel versions are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer a high heat output and a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable riddling grates on the multi-fuel version to help you when planning to burn logs. Both come with the option of a clear door and one with a tracery for a more gothic aesthetic and are suitable for any room from country cottages to contemporary townhouses.
These stoves are extremely energy efficient, and have an A+ rating. This means that your fuel is used efficiently as it can be. The Huntingdon has a second air-control feature that lets you adjust your fireplace to a continuous state of operation, reducing fuel costs, and lowering emissions.
The multi-fuel version of the Huntingdon can be purchased with a riddling kit that allows for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with a graphite or black finish to match your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves are made to a maximum of 5g CO2 per hour. This means they are considerably less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement since older stoves can release up to 20g of carbon dioxide an hour. This could be detrimental to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
The name implies the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a winter walk or simply cook an entire family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product features a revolutionary clean-burn system that incorporates three distinct features that contribute to its remarkable efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts help to keep the internal temperature high and thereby allowing for a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the air.
The result is a powerful stove with a large glass window to view the flame. There are a variety of colored handles and an angled chrome pedestal to match your interior. The top loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for the placement of kettles and pans.
The Pengiun as with all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels then you could be punished up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished with an innovative clean burn system that has been upgraded to incorporate a new pre-heated air feed that is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in the complete combustion process with less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion that is directed at the glass, referred to as an air wash, to give you an unobstructed view of 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 if you burn wood and 16 mg/m3 when you burn smokeless fuels.
The Go Eco
While traditional wood burners are popular, studies have shown that they release microscopic sooty particles into the atmosphere. These particles are known to cause poor air quality that has been linked with heart and lung issues as well as dementia and breathing problems.
