New log burners have to meet strict health and environmental standards, including limiting smoke emission to 5g carbon monoxide per hour.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost
The name implies, this 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a winter walk or simply cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system that has three different features to achieve its remarkable efficiency. A combination of secondary heat retaining glazing, combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a more complete combustion of the gas produced by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less 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. There's a selection of colored handles and an angled chrome pedestal to suit your interiors. This top-loading stove features a large flat surface for kettles and pans on.
The Pengiun like all Stovax stoves has passed all the necessary tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you were to burn unauthorised fuels, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour for the amount of particulates released into the atmosphere.
This is accomplished by an innovative clean burn system that has been upgraded to incorporate a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber via jets and channels that are 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 a cushion of air which is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash' to provide you with a clear view of the flames.
