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).
Although I have been sweeping the flue to this Nordpeis Uno 1 Wood-Burning stove for the past few years now, I thought that it definitely falls into the category of unusual stoves. Surprisingly I do sweep a number of other examples of this model of stove and other models of Nordpeis stoves in the area. The Nordpeis Uno 1 does have a very definite space age appearance, a most contemporary type of stove. The stoves firebricks are ceramic and are prone to cracking and fit together inside the stove rather like a jigsaw. In this instance I had to replace the front firebrick which is held in place by a long metal clip at the front of the stove.
A Google search reveals that Nordpeis are based in Norway and were established 30 years ago.
