Used Jotul firelight questions

[sardo_67]

Looked at this stove today and is it missing the secondary burners?

It's a cat stove, missing the catalytic convertor. Ashful can give you a complete rundown.

 

[sardo_67]

I thought the F600 was a non cat stove?

This was bought in 2000 or so according to the original owner/seller

Looks more like an F12 to me with the foot pedal.

 

[bholler]

Yeah that is one of jotuls POS cat stoves. Run

 

[sardo_67]

oh, so they probably clogged up the cat, removed it then listed for sale?

They were just a bad design plain and simple.

dammit.......

glad i asked here before making any decisions as i was looking in there like "ummmm something is not right"?

 

[sardo_67]

so when i looked in the front and saw all the way out the back that was because the bypass door was open correct?

in use i would open that to get the fire going and then once running i close the door to activate the cat and it will run 6hr or so?
