    Jotul Firelight 12 Parts?

    I bought a Jotul Firelight 12 (maybe mid 90's model) about a year ago and am finally getting around to hooking it up in my basement. I'm wondering where the best place to get parts is?

    Jotul Firelight 12 with Pedal is overheating and whooshing.

    I have a 24 year old Jotul 12 with a pedal. It is a 1993. Wonderful stove and I have it serviced each year. My service man died and a new dealer agreed to service it and a nice young man, younger than the stove, came out and replaced some gaskets and inspected the stove. Have been running...

    Jotul 602N - Damper? Gasket size?

    I just got a Jotul 602N which I'm about to install, wondering if anyone with experience of these would recommend fitting a damper to the flue pipe to control the burn? It's going to be in a wooden barn with a fairly short (3-4 meter) twin wall chimney if that makes a difference. Also the door...

    Jotul 602N side plates questions

    I inherited a 602N but the side plates are bowed inward and cracked. I can feel the insulation behind them. The top plate seems good and the exterior is intact and has a nice black enamel. I'm running a stove that isn't airtight currently and it's costly. Question 1: If I order new plates...
