Review of Yeoman Exe stove

OLD yeoman

Ronrushbrook 9 years ago

I’ve had my Exe nearly 30 years and been a great fire all this time, for the last couple of years its lost efficiency, mainly due to the need to have all the seals replaced.

Unfortunately I have been informed by a couple of local service engineers that it no longer meets current regulations so they are unable/unwilling to carry out any repair. Now looking at replacing with new model as I’m so pleased with the function

Stove expert replied: They still make the Exe but after 30 years a new version should be more efficient. What a great review for this old timer!
