A Large Wood Burner May Release Harmful Particulates Into the Air

Wood burning stoves are fantastic to heat rooms, but new research suggests that they release harmful pollutants into the air. These tiny particles, PM2.5, have been linked with heart and lung problems as well as dementia.

This Ecodesign stove that is DEFRA-approved is a modern and sleek 5kW unit that heats rooms quickly and with the least amount of lag. The large flame view and airwash system also make this stove look stylish in any room setting.

The Blithfield

The Blithfield is an eco-friendly and DEFRA-approved wood stove that seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary styles. It has a large porthole-like window that is maintained clean by an airwash system. It's built for cooking and burning logs as it comes with a warming rack and fiddle rail. And it's nicely customisable with the handles and controls coming in a choice of chrome or brass and with a choice of six different colour finishes to fit your home.

All Clock stoves come with their own 'clockwork' control, making them one of the most controllable in terms of flame/heat output available. This means they are also carefully engineered to meet the emission level of 2022 requirements of Ecodesign the UK-backed EU regulation designed to improve air quality.

This is possible due to the tertiary air that has been heated prior to being drawn in from the lower part of the stove and the rate of combustion being controlled by a separate rotary air control that allows for extremely low emissions. This stove is among the most efficient large stoves on the market. It comes with an DEFRA approved and Smoke Control Area exemption firebox, and is able to burn wood that is up to 20% moisture.

Stovax has taken the classic design of their Sheraton wood burning stove and paired it with a modern, highly efficient and low emission combustion system to create a log stove that will fit seamlessly into a range of traditional and contemporary designs. Its beautiful bevelled door frame and the cornicing add to the aesthetics while the advanced design of the firebox ensures exceptional purity of the burn, making it SIA Ecodesign Ready and suitable for areas that control smoke.

There are two variants of the Sheraton; a log store version that will sit flush within the chambered chimney breast, and a standard leg model that's ideal for fitting into an inglenook opening. Both have a nominal heat output of 5kW and provide excellent fire viewing through an enormous glass window. The stoves are available in various finishes, including the matt black shown. They can also be customized by adding additional options like brass or stainless steel handles, or direct air kit. Enter your postcode to locate the nearest installer or dealer.

The Huntingdon

A large wood stove is a great addition to any home. It's also a great option to heat your home, especially when it's well-engineered with high seasonal efficiency. New log burners have to meet strict safety and environmental standards, including restricting smoke emissions to 5g of carbon monoxide per hour. To reduce the impact on your home, opt for the stove that has an enormous flame image with a large window, as well as an airwash system that keeps the glass clear.

The Huntingdon from Stovax is a large traditional stove that meets these requirements. The wood-burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves. They offer the highest heat output and a large viewing window for spectacular flame views and a unique closable riddling grate on the multi-fuel variant for those times when you're planning to burn logs. Both models come with a choice of a clear or a tracery glass door, which gives them a more Gothic look. They're suitable for any space including country cottages to modern townhouses.

These stoves are extremely energy efficient, and boast an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is used effectively as it can be. The Huntingdon has a second air-control, which lets you adjust your fireplace to a constant state of operation, which can help reduce fuel costs, and lowering emissions.

The wood-burning versions of the Huntingdon feature a choice of either a plain or chancery arched door to provide personalization and the multi-fuel version is purchased with an external riddling kit that makes it easier for cleaning and maintenance. Both models are available with a choice of graphite or black finish, making them easy to match your existing decor.

All Ecodesign stoves are manufactured to the maximum of 5g CO2 per hour, meaning that they are much less harmful than older models. This is a significant improvement since older stoves could emit up to 20g of carbon dioxide an hour. This could be harmful to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.

The Chilli Penguin Defrost

As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost the windows after a walk in the winter or to cook the family meal. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its new clean burn system to attain its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets, and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures which results in a more efficient burning of gasses that fuel the engine. This reduces harmful emissions, and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.

The result is an efficient stove that has a large glass window to view the fire. There's a selection of handles in different colors and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior. This top-loading stove comes with a large flat surface that is ideal for placing kettles and pans.

Like all stoves built by Stovax and Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all required tests and inspections. It is only suitable to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you use fuels that are not authorised, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into air.

This is achieved with the new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new pre-heated air feed that is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases created by the fuel, which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, referred to as an 'air wash', to give you a clear 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 when it burns wood and 16 mg/m3 when using smokeless fuels.

The Go Eco

Research has revealed that older-style outside wood burners burning stoves emit tiny particles of soot in the air. These are a known cause of poor air quality, which has been associated with lung and heart problems, dementia and breathing problems. Fortunately, newer models have been made to meet higher standards and are DEFRA approved, meaning you can still enjoy the soothing effects of a fire in your home.

The Go Eco large wood burner is a wide version of the company's well-loved standard stove and is also DEFRA exempt and SIA Ecodesign ready, which means it is already compliant with European emission limits that will be in force in 2022. Like its smaller sibling it comes with a massive glass window for a stunning flame view, as well as a powerful airwash system which keeps the glass clear. It boasts an energy efficiency of 80% rating and 5kW heat output. The bigger model can be fitted into chimneys with larger openings and is suitable for a variety of installation options.

Like the name suggests, this is the perfect large wood burner for those who like to glamp, but is equally suitable for any home installation. This dual fuel stove is equipped to boil water, cook and even burn logs. It's an approved level five clearSkies stove that means it creates 90% less carbon dioxide than an open fire and 80percent less than a stove that's been in use for 10 years.

The GO ECO stove is a multi-fuel stove that has been accepted by DEFRA. It has an 80% efficiency rate and a heat output of 5 kW. It's also a level five clearSkies stove. This means it is ideal for areas with smoke control and is compatible with any kind of wood including softwood and kiln dried timber. It's easy to use and comes with a range of options for installation, such as a pedestal, bench or wall mount. It features a porthole-like window that is kept clean by the airwash system. It can also be used for glamping.
