Yeoman Stoves

Woodburning & Solid Fuels

All Yeoman stoves are available to burn wood and solid fuels

Wood is better in environmental terms as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. For optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your flue. Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods.

Solid fuels - such as anthracite and manufactured smokeless fuels can be burnt with the addition of a multi-fuel kit. Choose from either the economic Static Kit or, for optimum performance, the Riddling Kit. Please note, however, that petroleum based fuels must never be used on your stove. Peat turfs or briquettes with a low moisture content may also be burnt.

In rural areas, Yeoman's Central Heating Boilers have a particular advantage as they allow homeowners to burn readily available log supplies from local sources, rather than look to increasingly expensive oil or LPG equivalents. Indeed, if you are a farmer, smallholder or country landowner your fuel could even be free!
