Well, frequently using the ash pan to start certainly voided the warranty. It might be worthwhile to vacuum out the base of the stove and carefully inspect the grate and base are for hairline cracks.
If it has a 24" firebox with nice height it ain't a 602. 118 Maybe?a couple years ago i bought a 602c jotul used in good condition for 450$ . i just put it in a couple days ago and haven't let it go out since but been doing testing, to test for air leaks i use a lighter to see where the flame bends on mine only at the air intake on front . mine has no brick only the interior cast panels. if i cut the air off it burns nice and slow and the pipe is 160 degrees. i switched it from a back exhaust to top 7" . before i put in i took it completly apart and cleaned and inspected. this one has no ash box. looks like you shovel them out, also the firebox is over 24"long has nice height and width inside.am thinking of putting a damper in for more control what do you experts think of dampers. this jotul replaced a 20 yr old quadra-fire pellet stove. also i just put in a 3'cu osburn insert to replace my 32 year old blase king non cat. i really like it but door and box could be bigger. need all this on the damp oregon coast
webby3650,
if that gap is supposed to be cemented closed it can very well explain the problem i'm having.
If secondary air dat is meant to come only trough the top has a change to feed trough that gap in the bottom.IMO it'll have the same effect as leaving the ash door a crack open.
There is nothing better to get and keep a fire roaring uncontrolled than to feed it continuesly air from the bottom.
Matter of fact, that's how i light mij stove in the morning fast.even if there's just a couple glowing embers left i pile up a few logs and open the ash door a crack and in less than a min i get a good fire going.
ok how s about a 1980 121 with moose on the sides.If it has a 24" firebox with nice height it ain't a 602. 118 Maybe?
That's more like it. That is a great stove!ok how s about a 1980 121 with moose on the sides.
I agree with you. If the secondary air is coming in at the base of the fire, you will see a much faster burn. Unfortunately I am not at home right now or I would go down and check to see if that gap is sealed on my stove. I hope you find a solution to your problem soon. I can check my stove upon returning home this weekend.
I can't believe he had to order it! If he did, it shouldn't take more than a few days. He's waiting until he had a big order, so he could save a little money. He should have tons of stove cement around.I ordered a tube of cement at the dealer weeks ago ,as of today it still ain't in.
If the moron was holding his breath thinking i'm gonna buy a new stove(yes he tried) he'll be dead by now.
Have you tried a local hardware store or Home Depot? I am certain they must have some Rutland stove cement you could use. Weeks to get some stove cement is ridiculous!I ordered a tube of cement at the dealer weeks ago ,as of today it still ain't in.
