The Chilli Penguin Defrost
As the name suggests the 4.7kW stove is designed to defrost windows after a walk in the winter or cook the family dinner. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product has three distinct features in its new clean burn system to achieve its high efficiency. A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete burning of the gases generated by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particulates released into the air.
The result is a highly efficient stove that also has an impressively large glass window which allows you to see the fire inside. There's a selection of handles in different colors and a curved chrome pedestal to complement your interior.

Like all stoves manufactured by Stovax, the Pengiun is in line with the most current Ecodesign regulations and has passed all the required tests and inspections. It can only be used to burn wood and smokeless fuels that have been approved by DEFRA. If you burn fuels that are not approved by DEFRA you could face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour based on the amount of particles released into the air.
This is accomplished with a new clean combustion system that has been upgraded to incorporate a new air supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber through jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated air is used to ignite the volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, resulting in a better burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also introduces an air cushion which is directed towards the glass, referred to as an air wash, to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
The combination of these systems means that the new Penguin is in compliance with the most stringent emission limits and is classed as an 'Ecodesign' stove. It emits less than 20 mg/m3 when it burns wood and emits less than 16 mg/m3 when burning smokeless fuels.
