Review of Yeoman Exe stove

Yeoman Exe Multifuel Burner

8 years ago

I purchased a yeoman Exe; which is at the end of a long line of multiple varieties of woodstoves that I have used over the past 30 years. I am really not happy with it having given it some time.. The mechanisms for the damper and door fastenings are primitive and difficult to use. The door fastening is a semicircular plate that grates and is fiddly and the dampers difficult to adjust and just feel tacky. We have a Charnwood in another room and its just not even in the same league. So nil points from me I am afraid.
