Hey all. New to the forum but have used the site for little research and respect your knowledge!
Considering buying a 118 on Craigslist and am worried about buying a knockoff. Need some intel on this one before I make the trip to see it and inspect it (Taiwan stamp/Jotul 118 Stamp).
It Doesn't say Jotul on the door and I am unsure of what the lower bit is bellow the door? Any opinions and/or info would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!!

Yes, Taiwan knockoff. Most likely Scandia. That lower air feed is odd. First time I have seen that, even on a Scandia. Coal kit?
 
Welcome to the forums!

Without the Jotul name on the front, I'd also say it's a knock-off. Many were made.

I've got a stove much like this that a tenant left behind, and I don't much care if it's a Jotul or not, since it's a pre-EPA model. It's a piece of furniture in storage for that reason. That said, I do like the stove a lot.

The newer 118 will have burn-tube technology and burn cleaner/longer, but may throw less heat than the old one.

What's the price, and what will the application be? For a cheap shop stove, my knock-off would do fine.
 
They're asking 250 and it would be for an office.
I'm going to pass on it. I prefer confidence over a great deal
thanks all!!
