All Clock stoves come with a unique 'clockwork control' which makes them one of the most manageable available on the market in terms of the amount of heat or flame output. This means that they're also carefully engineered to meet the 2022 emission requirements of Ecodesign which is a UK-backed EU regulation designed to improve air quality.
This is achieved by the introduction of pre-heated secondary air from the bottom of the stove, and controlling the burn rate with an air control. This allows for ultra-low emission. Coupled with a DEFRA-approved and Smoke Control Area exempt firebox and the capability to burn wood with up to 20% moisture content it is one of the top large stoves on the market.
Stovax has taken the classic design of their Sheraton wood burning stove and combined it with a state-of-the-art highly efficient and low emission combustion system to create a log stove that is a perfect fit in a range of traditional and contemporary designs.

This makes it SIA Ecodesign ready and suitable for smoke-control zones.
There are two variants of the Sheraton one being a log store version that is designed to be flush with the chimney breast that is chambered, and a standard leg model that's ideal to fit into an inglenook opening.

The Huntingdon
A large wood stove is an excellent way to add a touch of traditional charm to any home. It is also a great heating option, particularly if it is well-engineered and has a high seasonal efficiency. New log burners must comply with strict health and environmental standards that include limiting the emission of smoke to 5g carbon monoxide an hour. To minimize the impact on your home, it's important to choose a stove that has a wide flame picture with a generous window, an airwash system to keep the glass clean, and a removable door handle to ensure safety and ease of use.
The Huntingdon from Stovax is a huge, traditional stove that meets the requirements. The dedicated wood burning and multifuel models are both DEFRA exempt stoves that come with the highest heat output and a large viewing window to enjoy stunning views of flames and a unique closable grille on the multifuel model for those occasions when you're looking to burn wood. Both models come with the choice of a transparent door or an engraved door for a more gothic aesthetic, making them suitable for all rooms from traditional cottages to modern townhouses.
They are extremely energy efficient and have an A+ rating. This ensures that your fuel is utilized effectively as it can be. The Huntingdon has a second air-control feature that lets you set 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 versions are available with a choice of graphite or black finish which makes them easy to match to your existing decor.
All Ecodesign stoves emit just 5g CO2 per hour, which makes them considerably safer than older models. This is a significant improvement as older stoves can emit up to 20g of CO2 per hour. This could be dangerous to your health and increase the risk of developing respiratory problems.
The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after a winter walk or to cook an evening meal for the entire family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA exempt Stovax product is equipped with a brand new clean burn system which has three distinct features that contribute to its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete burn of the gas produced by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released in the atmosphere.
The result is a powerful stove with large glass windows to view the fire. You can pick from a variety of colors and a chrome pedestal that will complement your interior. The top loading stove features a large flat surface to place pans and kettles on.
The Pengiun, like all Stovax stoves have passed all required tests and inspections. It can only be used for burning wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn unauthorised fuels you could face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is accomplished by a new clean-burn system which has been upgraded with an air-pre-heated supply that is introduced to the combustion chamber via channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air, that is directed at the glass to give you better views of the flames.
This combination of systems ensures that the new Penguin stove is in compliance with the most stringent emission standards and is classified as an "Ecodesign" stove. It emits less that 20 mg/m3 when you burn wood, and 16 mg/m3 if you burn smokeless fuels.
