I bought a new one in early December and am impressed with it's operation. I do feel the secondary air box section that is hanging down in the rear does affect overall ability to load the stove to what it's capacity should be. But what you can load does burn nice. Mine is shut down this morning, time for pipe and chimney check on both stoves, also have an older Energy Harvester in the ...

The best wood stove I've ever owned. (had 2 other brands) Very efficient. the only drawback I can think of is that the wood box is a bit short.

I installed one in my small log cabin in MT. Very easy to start and keep a fire going. Will keep a fire burning for about 3 hours, but coals glowing for up to 5 hrs. Best if you keep your logs to about 12 inches in length. The fire box is small.

I have owned two of these and made the mistake of buying one for a client. Because it's about the smallest nice looking stove you can easily find I got them. Big mistake. 1. it's not airtight - the inlet grate doesn't fully close. So an all night burn or heck even a 6 hour plus is impossible. I have to seal the cracks up with ceramic insulation to get a very long burn. 2. it's just too ...

Unfortunately, as someone who has no easy access to chainsaw or splitter and must rely on commercial wood dealers, I have had a deal of trouble getting 16" wood that is actually sixteen inches. Mostly because it is a front loader, anything over 16 1/8" makes it impossible to close the door, which means the piece, sometimes already on fire due to poor measuring on my part, must be carried, ...

I live in a 650 sq.ft. cabin in central Alabama. I've used the Jotul F602 as my primary heat source for 5 years now. (In the coldest months, I add a small portable electric radiator in the bathroom.) For what it is, the JotulF602 is fantastic. It is perfect in the fall and spring, when I need a quick fire in the morning to take a chill off the house--or in the evenings when I come in from ...

While the model 602 does its job I suppose, I have to admit that I was disappointed in its overall performance. First, the space in side of the fire box is really small, even for the size of the stove. I must limit the wood to short and small diameter pieces to get it to burn properly. Second, although I had the stove pipe professionally installed (presumably ruling out this as a cause), the ...

I love my Jotul 602. In fact I love it so much that our house has two of them. The old original is hooked up in the upper floor of my garage heating my shop and an extra sleeping space. The new one, the one with the glass door and enamel finish sits proudly in our living room. Great stoves, great heat, great looks, they can't be beat. I have only one complaint. That complaint is irksome at ...

For a small stove, I haven't been able to beat this one and I've owned a lot of stoves. It uses a lot of wood, burns quick in my opinion for the heat I get out of it. Heats my pantry and kitchen, and I get some heat from it into the dining room. Overall, a great stove for us.
