Chillip Penguin - The Fat Penguin
The Fat Penguin has all the features of the Hungry Penguin. It will warm you, feed you and make you a brew but it’s even bigger! The extra width is due to the convector panels, making this a convector stove. The output is still 5kW but this is a bigger, bolder penguin. Strong, simple lines, clear view of the roaring fire. Gorgeous in green, confident in black, radiant in red.
The Fat Penguin has a 5kW fire box, a top oven and top plate, just like the Hungry Penguin, but the side convection panels make it wider. This makes the Fat Penguin a convector or hybrid (radiant-convector) stove. It is an Eco design stove.
CONVECTOR PANELS
Although often chosen for the look and large top plate which offers a wider surface for placing a kettle on, the convector panels makes this stove particularly effective for heating a large, well insulated room.
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.
