It's 20 yrs old, parts are getting scarcer. You need a good eye to examine it closely for any issues with warping or cracks. The manual for the stove is here: https://www.hearth.com/talk/wiki/jotul-stoves/
It is definitely an older catalytic Jotul that historically wasn't their best design. I'd seriously look for a used/new 3CB non cat, the current 3 model. If it is free (the 3tdic), parts are as BG said, mostly still available but expensive. You need a well drafting chimney system for it to work well too. I'd run...
Thanks for your advice. I was considering buying an extra cat just for a spare. I am now looking at a wiseway pellet stove.
I see that the wiseway is not problem free. Too bad, it sounded like a good set up. Well the jotul looks in good condition, I will buy an extra cat for it and just use it. It takes a 6" stove pipe. Is that a common size? If I get rid of the jotul down the road, I would like to be able to use the existing chimney.
