The Dartmoor Baker
based on the successful Dartmoor Stove R ange, has an integral oven above the fire
box, which utilises heat from the fire to cook , bake or warm food.
The father-and-son team, Michael and Simon Chew, are
so proud of their Devon heritage that Dean Forge’s entire
handcrafted range is named after Devon beauty spots.
The Dartmoor Baker adds to the existing Hembury, Croft,
Huccaby, Foxworthy, Herrick, Junior and Clearburn ranges.
Simon Chew explains: “The idea to incorporate an oven into
our traditional wood burner came from wanting to bring
that sociable sharing-style of cooking of barbeques and
campfires inside the home. The stove is compact and will
sit nicely into any living space. In my home we love toasting
crumpets, whilst enjoying the heat of the fire. It is also great
for hot pots, as we can leave the dish to slow cook whilst we
are out on a family walk; then it’s ready on our return, once
we have worked up an appetite.
“The oven vents are specially designed to draw any cooking
smells up the chimney. Our talented team creates beautiful
stoves in a traditional way, but with the latest stove
technology, so that you can enjoy the dual benefits of a
wood burner and stove in one.
