My read is that he would like to see less ornate, more minimalist 'Euro' designs from them.Dave P said:Jotul stoves used to be of such great design back in the early days. Now the look like they've been designed by Dolly Parton. What happened to that great Scandinavian look?Dave
Dave P said:A designer for 30yrs, I think their mistake was trying to out-do and then finally copying Vermont Castings(which they copied from early American parlor stoves).
But, Jotul still makes a great functioning stove.

So, what you're saying is that you wish Jotul would make wood stoves that looked like an old fridge from the 1950s?
I'll pass.

I think it looks more like the Easter Island statues.
And for the record . . . I like the design of the Oslo . . . a bit fancier than a simple rectangular box, but not so fancy as to be too frilly or ornate.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around a stove designed by Dolly Parton . . . all I can picture is a stove with very large double doors that jut out into the room. I wish I was better at Photoshop since seeing a Dolly Parton-inspired Jotul would be kind of interesting to see.

I'm pretty sure the original poster meant the stoves looked gaudy with the Dolly Parton comment.

Still not sure what the OP is talking about without specific examples. Could be the Combifire? Maybe he doesn't like the American fireplace series? Are they too folksy, country style (Dolly Parton?) If so, too bad, they have been big sellers for Jotul. Jotul does make contemporary units, but they don't seem to sell them in America. Could be that this country prefers a traditional design in a stove. At least that's what the market seems to ask for.

So you would have to adjust the air a lot more often with the "Dolly".cptoneleg said:Yes, My old stove had 2 big nobs for ajusting Air Now if that would have been one of thos Dolly Parton models I woul probably still have that stove
