Feeling the Heat
Not sure what year that unit was made, but the new ones are auto ignite. Best to find out year of manufacture.
I'm running an older one-- approx. early '90s. Manual ignite. Solid and simple. Lots of heat from a small footprint.
The exhaust vent in that second photo looks like it is ready to scorch the hay stalks alongside the house, lol.

I was looking at that also.. in my "lifetime" in venting LP gas I've never seen a downward vent before.. is that acceptable with pellets?

Looks like an older one, probably early 1990's, the fire back looks to be made of actual bricks instead of the thin crap they use on newer stoves. Manual light most likely, not sure they made one that was autostart in that model which is a J2000.

I had a Jamestown J2000 installed in Nov. 2011, autostart. Very simple to use and clean. Works great, no complaints. As far as I know, these stoves have been around for over 30 years and not a lot has changed in terms of design. They probably did add the auto start for convenience and thermostat hookup. The one in the ad looks almost identical to mine except mine was made in 2010. If it was made in the 90s, that price tag seems pretty high for a stove that age and the manual start. There should be better deals around. Keep looking.

I'm Running a J2000T made in early 90's....heats like a trooper...the trick to heat.... keep it clean.
I paid 300.00 for mine but put another $100.00 in it to clean it up.
Great stove...see if you can knock him down a couple of hundred.

Believe it or not that stove in the early 1990's had a thermostat connection. I can't imagine a manual light stove with a stat, but they did it.
