Other Information about the Home and Stove

Room Size (Square feet): 400 | House Size: 2250
Bought in 2007 , Price Paid: $
Location : Gettysburg , Penns , USA - Email of Reviewer: aggenstein@hotmail.com
Purchased from: Fireplace Retail Store - Mace Energy


Likes: Construction quality, fit, and finish is top notch. Doors fit and work well. Ash pan fits nicely under ash grate. Blue/Black enamel finish is second to none.


Dislikes: A problem with the draft control knob on some of these stoves is the only negative I have found. Mine has been working well after a few liberal applications of powdered graphite.


Comments: This stove is hooked up to an exterior 2 foot square brick chimney that has an 8x8 clay liner (7x7 interior dimension). Our home is new construction, insulated well. The Jotul Oslo heats the whole place without a problem except for a far removed back bedroom/bathroom. I highly recommend this stove if you want a good, solid, cast iron, wood burning stove.
