Jotul 3 CB used find

[all night moe]

Stove is used with a bit over $400 or B/O price. Bit of a drive to pick up. Upper baffles are shot. Rest of this heater looks decent. My favorite color too, Blue enamel. I would also need to buy the adapter for top exit.
Parts hard to acquire for this?

If the baffle is shot I’m guessing I needs a rebuild. Baffle is probably $350-$450. I’m guess the blue color may be the hardest part to find but you probably can get the top outlet (blue wasn’t sold for too many years).

Just noticed the glass is blocked off with this plate.
Looks like this Jotul was rode hard.
Probably should pass.

Yeah, that looks like some serious heat damage...I'd keep looking.

Seller reached out and lowered to $360 via email alert. I never even responded to ad.
Wish it wasn't so abused. Love that blue.

IS that a factory cover for the glass? I rebuilt a Hearthstone H1 that had similar damage and it turned out great. Can you still get parts, or do you have to scavenge used parts? Maybe throw him a $200 offer and make it a project?

I found my re-build thread:

Post in thread 'I might need some help re-building "The Beast"....Hearthstone H-I'

Dec 18, 2009

Well, I got it done and plugged in. I have to do several small fires in it before I can crank it up. This gets the moisture out of the stones & since the folks I got it from had it sitting out in their yard I want to be carefull. I kinda wanted a darker brown color, but this will do until it's gets moved to the yet to be built house.
I had to hand sand all the stone(again) after painting because the tape left a film. I've got about $850 in it so if it performs like it's supposed to it will be well worth it. We have a week of 20's weather here now, so I will be learning the "burn curve"...

Lot of abuse going on in these pictures. That could mean stressed out castings too. I would pass on this stove and pay twice as much for one that was well cared for. The blue-black enamel was popular. Both of our Jotuls had it. Keep on searching.

I'm in agreeance with bgreen's post above. It's obviously been run hard, and I was thinking in the same lines of the rest of the casting's integrities. One thing I don't need is another lawn ornament.
I'll read your thread anyways. Something to do on this bitter cold day while keeping the wood furnace fed.

Hard pass for me.

If you were closer to NJ i'd sell you my jotul 3. Blue / Black In excellent condition except for the back which needs to be replaced as the flue collar rusted from a longtime sporadic chimney water drip.

If I had a reliable truck, I'd take that ride. The extra in fuel expense is worthy of buying from a well known member.
May hit you up on that come early summer. Gotta see how everything pans out.

Were ya hanging out at now? Utah or NJ? My girl is showing me every Marketplace find that pops up. Lot's of junk out there. I may have to make a trip sooner than later.

I’ve been heating our house with a 3cb for 25+ years. I can’t imagine how badly that stove had to be over fired to end up in that condition. I wouldn’t pay more than scrap value for that.

Yup, I passed.

Mostly NJ, i'll get some pics.

Some pics of the Jotul 3. (Not a cb, but an original 3.)

 

[begreen]

As noted, it's a pre-EPA F3, not an F3CB.

 

[bigealta]

Correct, original 3.
Just edited the pics to make that more clear.

And as stated previously -
"Blue / Black In excellent condition except for the back which needs to be replaced as the flue collar rusted from a longtime sporadic chimney water drip."

Solid and simple.
