Review of Jotul F 500 stove

Classic and efficient

Don Smith 3 months ago

We have had our Jøtul F500 for about 30 years and it is a feature of our main living area and provides heating for much of the rest of the house. We run it 24 hours in colder weather May to September - being winter here in New Zealand (Wellington). Am learning to light the fire top down as it is more efficient. I can recommend this for a larger house and any Jøtul fire in general.
