Hi everyone. I have heated my home for the past years with a Vermont castings defiant (an original). It was great but more issues have arisen and I have found a newer stove out of necessity. After much searching I found a Jotul F600 that I could afford, but quite far away. Was supposed to need cleaning and paint. Seller assured me there were no other things needed that he was aware of. I expected seals and checking over seams.
Well, the secondary manifold is shot, two of the tubes are gone completely. The top baffles are broken, well most of one was laying on top of the ashes in the stove and the other is gone, (yeah got it with an ash load....) insulation blanket is mostly there, definitely also done. This is my main heat source and rebuilding either stove now seems out of budget. Anyone have a source for these parts, even used at a lower cost? Any leads greatly appreciated.
I'm in the Hudson Valley if you know a local store but figured I'd be ordering.
