Authentic choice

There is nothing like the irresistible ambience of a real Stovax stove. Expertly crafted to be traditional in appearance yet modern in flexibility and convenience, they continue

to offer discerning homeowners the best of all worlds. Whether you choose woodburning or smokeless fuel options they are clean burning, highly efficient and available in sizes and styles to suit most rooms and living spaces.

Cast iron or steel

Originally, all heating stoves, such as the Regency illustrated on page 24, were made from cast iron. Today, in spite of commercial steel production expanding from the late 19th Century onwards, cast iron still remains the material of choice for many premium quality stoves. This is because of the way cast iron diffuses warmth giving maximum radiant heat over a period of time. Moreover, the iron can be cast more thickly in areas where greater strength is needed, whilst additionally allowing attractive designs to be cast into the stove panels.

However, in the 21st Century modern manufacturing technology also permits the use of heavy gauge steel for the body of the stove to be complemented by cast iron doors and firebox components.

Accordingly, the Stovax Stockton range combines the advantage of both materials to offer superb performance and value for money.

State-of-the-art cleanburn technology

Most stoves in this brochure feature cleanburn technology so they burn logs or solid fuels with outstanding efficiency*, resulting in more heat delivery into the room and less going up the chimney. It works by introducing pre- heated, secondary air into the firebox to burn the excess hydrocarbons in the smoke. Airwash air also helps keep the window clean, allowing you to enjoy the flames to the full.

CE Marked and HETAS Accredited

All Stovax Stoves in this brochure, with the exception of the Large Regency, are CE marked, and this is shown by the CE mark on their product pages. This means they have been independently tested to exacting European standards for both heating efficiency and emissions. They have also been accredited by HETAS, the UK’s official body recognised by the government to approve solid fuel domestic heating appliances.

Woodburning and solid fuel

All Stovax stoves are designed either for multi-fuel use, which means they burn logs, smokeless fuels or peat/turf briquettes, or as woodburners only.

Multi-fuel stoves have a riddling grate which allows ash to be riddled into a built-in ashpan to create the optimum conditions for efficient combustion. Woodburners have a fixed grate and no ashpan, since wood burns best on a bed of ashes.

Wood is better in environmental terms as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is approximately the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. For optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%*.

This will not only give twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your flue. Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have up to twice the calorific value of softwoods.

In rural areas, Stovax stoves have a particular advantage as they allow homeowners to burn readily available log supplies from local sources. Indeed, if you are a farmer, smallholder or landowner your fuel could even be free!

Just as importantly, if you choose a Stovax stove with a boiler option, you can even provide yourself with domestic hot water or run radiators from the same fire.

Alternatively, you can augment your existing oil or gas fuelled central heating system, or reduce your reliance on it as a single source, by feeding hot water from the stove into the system via a ‘neutralising chamber’. Both methods help make greener heating and hot water

a reality.

*All efficiencies quoted in this brochure are for seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20% or for approved smokeless fuels.
