Sounds like a good way to keep the guests from staying too long.
What do you mean?

What?? No, I'm thinking about the freestanding Kerosene heaters....

Set that up, fit it with fuel and be done. Then when the guests are gone or we're done working, siphon/drain and put it away.

Ah...I thought you were being sarcastic earlier. It didn't sound like you were all on-board with the idea of spending a decent amount of cash for something rarely used.
Get this! My neighbor right next door has had NG in that house for decades. The gas company said to run a line to my home from the street would be $300 if I was getting a gas furnace. At the time I was going to get a gas stove/range, gas water heater, gas fireplace, etc....oh ok....then it'll be $3000!
I've got 2 602's down here that I'm thinking of getting rid of before the season (actually, one's a knockoff)...
Kerosene, lp, ng, oil... All things i can't get in my back yard or for free. Sure a smallish stove seems expensive of the bat. But then you never really need to pay again.
And there's loads of used stoves around. Just need to do a bit of homework on brands and start searching.
And if you find a 207cl...I'd buy it from you...
Good luck.
Sounds like your mind is made up. Shall we close this thread?
I am actually still curious about the "knockoff". But why close it? Did I or someone else do something wrong?

One knockoff to the Jotul 602 is a Upland Model 17. Nice little stove - I'd go as far as to say it's cute. I can't believe I just said 'cute' but it does have a nice look to it. I just got done sanding and painting mine even though its not connected. Only thing I wish it had was a door with a view like some of the optional features of the later Jotul 602's.
If I don't use it someday - I may just place in the living room or hallway as a end stand of sorts - just for the look and feel.
Edit - no longer made but sometimes found in the used market / CL

a foldup/camping stove was suggested. I looked at them at Cabelas and they seem pretty small but ample for my needs and again it'd only be a few times a year at the most

"But for right now I'll use the kerosene heater to get the job done." No problem, it sounded like this is a done deal.
There are lots of posts on Scandia knockoffs in the Classic stove section.
Sorry, for some reason didn't get updated on this thread. The knock-off is called a Glo-Fire. I know nothing about it, but I thought it was a 602 until I got it home and took a good look at it. Pretty much identical. Quick search looks like a Glo-Fire 301. Maybe MSRP was 50% of a 602?I am actually still curious about the "knockoff". But why close it?

I checked out the 602.
There are two used on ebay....VERY nice!! And not expensive at all. $550 WITH a glass door!! That is perfect!! Only problem is it's 4-6hrs away from me.
But ok, at least I know there is an option with a glass front. How would this be installed? Would I need to insert a thimble/block/etc up into the chimney? It is a clay lined chimney. I'm just curious if I'd need to be able to get in there and move around or just put the collar on the stove and slide it into the pipe or something?
I really appreciate the info!
Are there any other stoves out there I might want to look at?
Thanks!

Anytime I've been in a room with a Kerosun burning I knew it. Usually left with a headache.
