The Chilli Penguin Defrost
This 4.7kW stove can be used to defrost windows after an excursion in winter or cook meals for the whole family. This Ecodesign- and DEFRA-exempt Stovax product uses three different features in its new clean-burn system to ensure its high efficiency. Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts helps to keep the internal temperature high which results in a more complete burning of the gasses that fuel the engine. This in turn produces lower harmful emissions and less particulates that are emitted into the atmosphere.

This is achieved by an innovative clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include a pre-heated feed of air that is delivered to the combustion chamber through channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites volatile gases that are produced by the fuel, which results in a more complete burn and a reduction in harmful emissions. It also creates an air cushion that is directed at the glass, also known as an 'air wash' to provide you with an unobstructed view of the flames.
