Is this a good used buy? (Jotul content)

Good Morning All!

So I think I've narrowed it down, I found a white Jotul #3 locally and for $450 including all the piping I don't think I can go wrong, could I get some expert advice please? Think it's a good buy? Say yes please, it's so pretty


I can't seem to find a ton of info on it. Is this ok to cook on?

Thanks so much for all the help!

Can you provide a bit more info on the stove? How old is it? Is it the original model 3 or a newer F3CB? Is it enameled?

This is a good heater, but smallish. Don't expect to get long burns out of it. But if you are looking for a good little heater for a room or two, it could be just right. $450 is high unless this is a newer model. If older, it should be in excellent condition for that price. Check the interior of the stove closely. Examine for any warped or burned side and back plates or baffle. As far as the value of the piping, that would depend on the age and condition of the piping and whether it's at all reusable in your home.
