I have this stove and the instruction booklet and catolog also. It is the 6303. Heats 5000-6000 cu. ft. It takes a 5 inch pipe. Log length is 18 inches. The distributed in New Hampshire years ago. The company went out of business in the mid 1980's. The best place to have a wood stove is in the basement so pipes don't freeze up. I have been using wood stoves since the mid 1970's to heat my house. I have quite a collection of Jotul stoves. If this person who just bought this stove would like a copy of the instructions just email me and give me your email address and I'll send it to you. if you do put this stove in your basement, make your celler door a dutch door so the heat will rise to the rest of the house.This stove does require a lot of draft. So if you don't get enough draft to run the fire there is a metal plate in the first chamber that you can remove and the smoke will go up there and will work. I found this out when I first got this stove. I heat my house mainly with wood stove. And never turn the furnace on. If this person would like to talk to me he can send his telephone number to me in the email and i can call him and tell him more about this stove.

Nice of you to offer the manual and advice for the Lange. A beauty. Morso (2BO) and Lange and Jotul had " smoke/heat recycling" stoves that cycled the smoke through the doughnut top of the stove. Craig is right on about never shutting the air too low.

One opinion about a myth of basement heating: while heat may "rise". the heat in a typical uninsulated foundation basement here in New England also goes down and horizontally into dirt. Most of the heat from a stove will be wasted heating dirt outside of the foundation walls and floor. Stand alone wood stove are a waste in a cellar UNLESS it is a finished used space in the house where you spend time. You really want the wood stove where you are.
