Chilli Penguin Popty Lofty Ecodesign Wood Burning Stove
The Lofty is an unashamedly ambitious penguin. It is the tallest of the wood fired Popty series, providing an oven for cooking, a generous wood fire box for heating and storage place for wood. It is the multi tasker of this family. Ask and you will receive; generosity and warmth, food and heat, toasty toes by the fire and crunchy toast on your plate, breakfast muffins, lunch time soups, afternoon sticky cakes and suppertime divine bakes.
Chilli Penguin had to have a Popty series, welsh for oven. Who wouldn’t want to pop something in a popty? It is an old word possibly originating from the old shared bakehouses. “Pobi”, bake and “Ty”, house. We love the association with shared baking and perhaps stretching a hand back through the history to other generations who also cooked on solid fuel.
Logs sit directly on the vermiculite bricks on the base of the stove, there is no need for a grate. It has a generous fire box, sized for logs 300mm long and an even more generous piece of glass, offering you a wonderful clear view of the roaring fire.
It is beautifully simple to control, there is one air control knob. This is both the air boost, when fully extended and finer control when eased inwards. Wood burns better on a bed of ash, but when you do want to empty it, you just scoop it out from the base of the firebox. We have a tool called a "sgŵp" (pronounced scoop), available in our online shop, designed specifically for stoves without grates, like the Popty series.
The efficiency is 82.4%. It is an Eco design stove, suitable for use in smoke control zones.
As hot air created by heat from the stove's bodywork expands, it becomes lighter than the air outside the stove and rises up inside the convector panels, exiting from the top of the panels. This is replaced by cooler heavier air drawn in at the bottom of the panels, which is in turn heated. The warmer, lighter air will fill the room while the colder, heavier air being drawn in at the bottom of the stove will create a continuous heat cycle, which gently moves air around the room.
There is a non convector option available for this stove, called the Popty Cube (Ciwb) and a model with convector panels but without the integral plinth, called the Popty Stout.
