Excellent website and great prices too. Worth a look.
They have some nice stuff. I've just checked, they are the people I bought four stoves from a few years ago, when they were trading as Le Bois Cleyet. Antique French Stoves leaves less doubt about what they are selling !One my four is a green "Mah Jong" by Faure.
It's a lovely stove, if you're interested in this one I would contact them asap. They are a bit like rocking horse poo.
Also have brown Chappee, but not fitted it yet.
Here's our Yeoman CL3 which was installed last summer; it's had plenty of use but we've still not painted it or done the rest of the room. Very happy with the stove, which was around £800, and the job all in was around £2500 which included stove, stainless liner, cowl, and opening up the fireplace getting rid of the horrific gas monstrosity and typical white surround. There was a new lintel put in to support the bricks above, and the oak lintel put on the front which looks lovely but is purely decorative. We got the engineered stone for the hearth from a local masons, off cuts then re-cut for us for under £100 if I remember right. When it's burning we can switch off the central heating completely and the whole downstairs is kept warm while upstairs gets comfortably cool without being cold. In fact, it's so cosy with it running we really miss having it on in the evenings if it's not cold enough to justify lighting it! It also has a smoke control kit which makes it smoke-free zone exempt.

To add to my post above, if you get one, make sure you have sufficient space above the wood burner for maximum efficiency. Also, you can buy these Eco fans as seen it my photo above. It's not cheap but requires no power and is silent. It's powered by the heat of the fire causing a chemical reaction between the two metals in the fan and creating a voltage. It's very fast and very effective.
I was thinking of buying one of those, but they're quite expensive.I ended up fitting two PC fans running at half voltage (so quieter) at the base of the rear of the stove, so they blow air up the back of the stove and out the top - made a big difference to the heat output! They're controlled (on/off) by a thermostat.

Where did you get it from and was it pricey?
Costs were ( incl vat )
Stove £1300
£2000 to rip out the old stone fireplace (incl old woodburner) and adapt it for the new stove. Then supply & fit a chimney liner ( 2 storey house ), plaster the surrounding with high-temp plaster, and fit the stove.
The wall was plasterboard dabbed onto breeze-blocks. So they cut out 2' either side, and 4' above the aperture, then filled with plaster. Lovely job!

How do you rate the Charnwood C4? Looked at one last week, thanks
I love it. I did quite a bit of research and spoke with a few shops / installers who all confirmed it was a good choice. I also like the look of it as it's got a good balance between modern and traditional.http://rhbs.com/images/Gallery/index.html

^like that.
I bloody love my WB stove. In fact it's probably what sold the house to me..
Excuse the mess of the fireplace..
I've got this one. A Little Wenlock... I was thinking about replacing it. Very interested to see the eco fan above. Wanted to get one last year but don't have the clearance (hence the desire to change!). They kick out the heat, but if I point a normal room fan at it, the whole house gets warm.

i have a dunsley highlander, fantastic stove made in yorkshire.
i have seen stoves costing twice as much and no where near as good.
i would buy a Dunsley or Morso over the charnwood any day.
contact Craig at the stove depot swansea, he will give piston head users extra discout
Why do you think that Dunsley or Morso are better than Charnwoood ?i have seen stoves costing twice as much and no where near as good.

What criteria are you using to rate them?
Or is it just that it's from Yorkshire and so must be better - like that plusnet broadband b

I have mine in a plastered fireplace, plaster board was getting very hot so had a steel sheet fabricated to sit behind the woodburner which reflects the heat into the room and keeps the plaster cool.
Thats a point..........When I was discussing how I'd like the recess to look, an installer,(a Durham based company), advised that bricks tend to soak the heat up rather than reflecting it into the room.I wondered what finishes people have opted for, and if the heat was a problem. Plaster board could get quite hot.
Tiles / Bricks / Plated out with some sort of steel fitting,then have it plastered or tiles on top ??
Any suggestions or advice........

This comes up on every woodburner thread - general consensus is that he is affiliated with them. I'll reserve judgement What criteria are you using to rate them?
