    Jotul 118

    Hi, we have a beautiful Jotul 118 with a relief forest/moose scene. The side panel has cracked straight through the moose and we can see flames when it’s lit!

    what do I have?

    I purchased this stove a few years ago and would like to know what it is. When I bought it the seller told me it was a Bradford wood stove. Recently I did a visual search and the name Jotul came up. The plate on the back was painted over so I couldn't read it. Can someone tell me exactly what...

    Scandia 100 worth like new?

    So my parents bought a Scandia 100 wood stove a long time ago. It has been in storage and never used. It’s a beautiful stove and we were going to use it but decided to go with something else that takes longer wood pieces. I know it’s a scandalous knockoff of Jotul and for seasoned wood burners...

    Final Decision (indecision!) between Jotul F55, Hearthstone Shelburne or Manchester, and Woodstock Ideal Steel

    Hi Folks! Coming in for a landing on a final decision about my stove purchase :). Based on all the feedback on this forum I think I'm going to stay away from the F500 Oslo v3. I don't really want to spend that much money on a new stove and potentially have to do things like plug the ashpan...

    Tips for buying a used Jotul GF DV gas stove from afar?

    Hi! I've spent the last several weeks obsessively reading It's a Gas posts (thank you!), and I've narrowed down my search to the Jotul GF 200 or 300 DV standing pilot (NG). I don't have the budget for a new unit. Used stoves are very scarce in my area so I'm looking at trucking one out from...

    Buying a used Jotul stove - questions

    We are considering buying a used Jotul 370 gas stove. It looks to be in good shape and was uninstalled by the owner ( we are told they have "building experience.") Is it a bad idea to buy a gas stove uninstalled by an owner and not a professional? We are trying to weigh the risks of this.

    Jotul F3CB 1990

    I found this Jotul F3CB on Facebook Marketplace for $600. The only problem is that is was made in 1990. I’m curious if a wood stove that old is even legal or certified to be used. There could be some serious issues hiring a company to install it. Are there any major differences with this wood...
