We bought the stove expecting it to provide about 80% of the heat for our 2500sqft single level house and it does a good job. But, it’s a pain to use because of some easily avoidable design flaws with the ash pan. First, the ash pan has an air space between it and the grate, so what happens is that you constantly have ash scrapped off into the pan area when you pull out the ash pan. Now your on ...Overall Performance:

nice stove but short burn times. I could get 8hr burns with my old vermont castings. I'm using lots of kindling and burning more wood.Overall Performance:

I purchased three Jotul stoves. I traded one in and sold one. I still have the third one. I replaced the two with Quqdrifire stoves. Much better stove! The Jotuls were too hard to get started - not enough draft - and they would sometimes stink the house up. My chimneys are first class - new home. Had the dealer and company rep to my home and they could not fix them. They tried new gaskets and ...Overall Performance:

I have had this stove for four years. Installed in my basement of my ranch house and my average tempature in the upstairs is 70 degrees. I haven't experienced any problems with the damper. I burn 24/7 from October to the end of March. A well packed stove with seasoned wood last all night and reignites the next load very easily. When used properly I have zero smoke from the chimney. I clean my ...Overall Performance:

I just experienced the same problem that I think medbill411 and Keystonedig reported in reviews on this site. We love this stove Jotul Oslo F500CB purchased in July 2009. This evening, Christmas eve, the damper control would no longer reduce the volume of air for combustion. The stove was pretty full when this started and burning vigorously. Fortunately, I didn't have a more serious problem this ...Overall Performance:

Installed this stove about 4 years ago now I think and we LOVE it! It burns 24/7 and heads our colonial style home (2200 sq ft) nicely. Right now I am stilling here with the rear door of the house open and its 27 degrees out because something new is going on with the stove, even with the damper all the way down the fire is burning really well. Not out of control but hot. Think I will let it ...Overall Performance:

Wonderful stove. I had installed this stove in my 1800 sq ft cathedral ceiling cape cod house in 2003. Been using as my primary heat. I burn between 3 to 4 cords of hard wood per season. Burns 24 hrs. I open side door and ash door together to empty ashes . Glass stays clean if you burn dry wood. Clean double walled pipe which is a good 24-26 ft long twice per season. Top cap is the reason I clean ...
