My name is Paddy McKeown, I am a retired police officer (Detective Sergeant – Metropolitan Police), turned chimney sweep. I have completed training with ‘The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps’, and Rod Tech UK (Power Sweeping).
Here is something of a monster stove, the rather large Yeoman County 13 Kw Multi-Fuel Stove. This example is in a large house in Wimbish and as you might expect, heat heats a similarly large room. As you can see from the design of this large model, it is exactly the same as the much smaller Yeoman Exmoor, with both having the round Tudor rose primary air controls.I’m not really sure why Yeoman decided to opt for a different model name for this stove by calling it the Yeoman Exmoor 13Kw instead? I’m sure that is the usual practice for other stove manufacturers. In terms of design the stove is something of a hybrid with both a contemporary and traditional look to it. Indeed, the High top versions of both the Exmoor and County models look more traditional than they do contemporary.
Yeoman Stoves are now a part of the Stovax and Gazco Heating Group, the following can be found on their website:
