This penguin is the Penguin 7, with side convector panels. As well as making it a convector stove, it makes it wider, with a wider top plate, so effectively a Penguin 7 with a little extra muscle.
It has all the qualities of the Penguin 7 family; cool, classic, contemporary with a beautiful clear view of the fire. The generous clear glass window offers you a huge uninterrupted view of the fire and it has the added benefit of taking large logs. It is wood only stove.
 
How do convector panels work?
Although often chosen for the look and large top plate which offers a wider surface for placing a kettle on, the convector panels makes these stoves particularly effective for heating large, well insulated rooms.
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.
