Review of Jotul F 602 stove

brilliant 602

Niall 14 years ago

I've got the 602 as a back up stove at one end of the house and only fire it up when it's Baltic outside.

It's a fantastic stove as it always works well, burns clean, takes decent length logs, relatively cheap (bought about 7 yrs ago), easy to lite, burns over night, doesn't use a great deal of wood, can cook a pot or boil a kettle and it is full of character.

It's a radiant type stove so I'd recommend installing it 'within' a large fire place if possible in order to get convection, obviously following the installation regulations.

very simple and practical.

Stove expert replied: Sounds a good all round stove, supplying heat and cooking can't be bad!
