Review of Jotul F 602 stove

Lovely stove

Matthew Hayden 2 years ago

So we installed one of these in our kitchen to heat the downstairs of our house. Once the main body is warm it will just stay warm with a little or a lot of wood. Glass stays clear when you burn it properly. The firebox is an awesome size. Start the fire at the front. We use a copper kettle and always have tea and coffee when it''s lit. We also have a Woodwarm fire, but we prefer the ambience and warmth of the jotul. We had a baffle crack but it appeared to have been dropped when we ordered it, so with that replaced we have 0 problems. Fully recommend. We have 2 temp guages one on the pipe and one on the body to ensure it doesn''t crack and get too hot. On the handle front we didn''t like the standard one so I put a small wood one on - but it was purely personal choice.
