This stove perhaps does have its nose in the air, just a touch. It feels a little superior with its elevated height, oven box, generous top plate, convection panel sides and integral log plinth. It feels it offers everything : stature, personality, function and more than a little self confidence.
This stove began life as a Fat Penguin but then it kept on growing. In order to accommodate the log plinth, the side convection panels had to be extended. This is a high functioning stove. Although often chosen for the look and large top plate which offers a wider surface for placing a kettle and saucepan on, the convector panels makes this stove particularly effective for heating a large, well insulated room. The convection panels make it a convector stove.
All Chille Penguin cooker models have an oven box and top plate (oven top surface). 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. The oven is 100mm high and comes with an oven bottom shelf.
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, if you plan to rear flue, you can order one with no cut out.
