Jotul series 8 rebuild questions

[bigealta]

Maybe cut plate steel? i did that for a friends Jotul 602 but those did not need to be perfect fits, they just leaned against the sides.

I just got a piece of mild plate and cut 2 rectangle pieces out of it with a grinder.

Have no idea if that would work for the 8?

Yikes looks like $180 or $200 for the cat.

$70 for each side plate maybe, i also saw one for like $57

No the catalyst version but this might help.

Yeah the specified cat for that stove is pricey. $255 at woodmans!!

I found a comparable Buck model that is within .125” of all dims of the original…for $165

Holy cow found a cat for $100 made for my stove. Is this site legit?

 

[bigealta]

IDK, but good find. Do they jack up the shipping?

Well… I think it turned out really well. Im having an airflow issue but other than that im pleased.

I went ahead and painted the main body green and clear coated the top and bottom. Thanks for all the help

It looks nice.
The stove needs to be on at least 6" tall legs or more.

Wow, lets us know how the paint holds up and how it burns after your rebuild.

I fired it hotter than i plan to do regularly and the paint stuck so i feel good.

It is burning hot tho and i made a new thread. Will you chime in in if you have any thoughts?

Thank you!

Did you get a new cat or are you burning it without a cat?

 

[Mbmcewen]

Without. I love it! Warms up the place so well.
