The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an outdoor walk, or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product incorporates three distinct features in its new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion helps keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete burn of the gases generated by the fuel. This, in turn, results in less harmful emissions and lowers the amount of particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also comes with an impressively large glass windows that lets you see the fire from inside. There is a choice of coloured handles and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior. The top loading stove features a large flat surface that you can place pans and kettles on.

If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles released into the air.
This is achieved with an innovative clean combustion system that has been upgraded to include an air supply that is pre-heated which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in a more complete burn and less harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion which is directed towards 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 complies with the strictest emission limits and is classed as an Ecodesign stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 of carbon dioxide when burning wood and 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
