Review of Jotul F 500 stove

Wonerful

James 13 years ago

We installed the stove 4 years ago and it is wonderful - elegant and very very good at keeping us warm. Easy to light and clean (enamel finish) stays in overnight with no problem at all. Excellent quality but you do waste a lot of time gazing at the flames, as previous reviews have pointed out.

Glass goes blacken overnight but is easy to clean with damp kitchen roll.

we could not live without our Jotul
