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).
I do see a great deal of these Ekol Crystal 5 Multi-Fuel Stoves around the local area, they do seem to be a very popular low budget stove and the customers all report them working very well. So, it’s probably comes as no surprise that there are so many of them around the local area. They are in addition rather easy to work on, coming apart and back together quite nicely, which is a real bonus for the busy chimney sweep! They clearly have a rather more traditional appearance than some of the other stoves in the Ekol range.
