Penguin Facts

Cooking on a penguin
All our cooker models have an oven box and top plate (oven top surface). The Hungry Penguin comes out with a stainless steel oven bottom trivet, to put cooking dishes on. The oven temperature can reach up to 300°C, but it will tick over comfortably between 140-180°C. You can fit a small saucepan and kettle on the top plate. If you regularly use the top plate, there is an optional stainless steel top plate available. This sits on top of the stove and has a U shaped cut out for the flue. Alternatively you can request one without the cut out if you plan to rear flue. There is a small vent hole at the rear of the oven box to allow cooking smells to escape up the flue. If you want any cooking inspiration look at our recipe page.

Extra Height Oven (Tall order)
The Hungry Penguin is also available with an extra height oven. This increases the internal oven height to a total of 200 mm.                               See the Tall Order page

Ecodesign stoves. In order to be an Ecodesign stove, a stove must be independently verified to meet stringent emission requirements. Particulates or PMs are the most commonly recognised of these measures. The maximum limit for these is 40 mg/m3. This stove achieves 33 mg/m3 burning wood and 12 mg/m3 burning smokeless fuel. All other measures are all listed in our technical details table below. Click here for further Ecodesign info.
