Hi Folks,
This is my first post -- thank you for the wealth of information you've provided here.
We've narrowed our choice to a Jotul Olso, the only question is which color. We think that ivory will look nice against our brick wall, but we've heard from one of the dealer's staff that ivory is not a great choice since it does not age well. He said any chipping will be visible and it just won't keep that beautiful showroom look over the years. I don't need showroom perfection, but I think it's important for the stove to age with some grace. We're replacing a Jotul Combifire #4 that at 35 years old was still soldiering on, looking quite presentable.
I'd be happy to hear the experiences of others who have had enameled Jotuls for many years. Any photos might also be helpful.
Thank you!
Eric Woudenberg
