Review of Yeoman Exe stove

Roll on winter

Michael Hatch 15 years ago

Great fun to use and very warm but I don't think the airwash works - may be because of unseasoned logs. Roll on next winter when we can check again. Anyway, fairly easy to clean. Just the right size for our large lounge - there seems to be a conspiracy amongst salesmen to over heat us! Got into a panic once when it was overheating and closing all the stops didn't seem to slow down the fire - question over controllability?

Stove expert replied: adding a flue damper may be a useful addition to this persons flue system.
