The Defra Approved Ecosy+ Hampton 6.4 is one of the most up to date and cleanest double sided stoves sold in the UK. It is one of a very small number of double sided stoves that have been tested and approved to meet the new Ecodesign requirements that will be mandatory for all stoves by 2022, making this a stove for now and for the future. Passing this test and being one of only a few models on the market to do so shows the Hampton has been engineered and designed to a high standard by Ecosy+. All test results have been carried out by Kiwa Gastec in Cheltenham, UK - a leader in their field. Find out more about the 2022 Eco Design scheme at stoveindustryalliance.com. The TechnologyAbout this Woodburning Stove The Hampton 6.4kw boasts some of the lowest combined readings of Hydrocarbons, CO and dust output of any wood burning double sided stove sold in the UK. In response to the government's initiatives to lower such emissions from wood burning stoves, you can rest assured that you have one of the cleanest stoves for sale in the UK. This unrivalled clean burn has been achieved by the quality engineering exhibited in all Hampton models. All bodies are made from thick laser cut steel plate that is perfectly folded and welded together, ensuring no air can leak into the stove. The hidden gem of this stove is its internal shell - effectively another stove inside the stove, where air is drawn in from the stove's base fed between two layers of steel either side of and precisely dispersed over the fire through a series of holes in the stoves twin layered baffle. Having the air introduced high up in chamber is an effective way of re-burning the initial smoke and pollutants created by the fire. The air that is not dispersed through these holes speeds up as it continues to rise through the twin layers until it is finally released like a curtain of air over the glass. This heating effect speeds the air up and is the most effective way of keeping the glass clean. This design is practical and truly wonderful to watch. The Hampton 6.4 is a wood burning only stove therefore does not require a multi-fuel grate or ash pan as wood loves to burn on the base. The stove is however lined with thick 30mm vermiculite boards that protect the stoves shell and its internal steel baffle is removable for sweeping. Under the stove is the simple push pull lever that gives an incredibly accurate degree of control over the fire as the vent plate is mechanically attached to the body. The Hampton has a 30mm thick virgin ore cast iron door that helps retain and slowly release the heat into the room in conjunction with the stoves thick steel body. Going into the door is the stoves unique handmade twist handle with wooden lever. As with all parts of the Hampton they are well designed and engineered but not over-complicated. Too often stoves have over-complicated system that do not stand the test of time and can be incredibly expensive and complicated to fix. We confidently offer a 7 year warranty on this product. Crystal Clear GlassClean Burn As mentioned in the technology section the air is drawn into the fire low down at the stoves rear. The air races up and over the stoves chamber increasing in speed as it travels until it is unveiled and drops like a curtain over the stoves glass. This can be seen in action on the video attached at the start of this listing. This system is proven to be a very effective way of keeping the glass clean and clear of smoke stains providing the wood burnt is well seasoned. 7 Year GuaranteeWoodburning Stove Guarantee This covers the stove's body and not the internal perishable parts like grates and fire bricks.
