Jotul GF 600 DV LP stove ?

[Mainely Saws]

Hello again folks !
I'm looking for further info on a used Jotul GF 600 LP stove that's for sale used . The owner thinks it is about 8 years old but has had very limited usage & says it is in very good condition . It does have a wall thermostat but it doesn't have a blower & I would need to buy all the piping for it . I'm wondering if an 8 year old unit has the ability to burn at a low rate like the new units or if it's just an on / off set up as far as the burner goes . Any info on this stove would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks ,
Bob

it may only have a 30% turn down on the vavle....
read btu ratings on plate for actual turn-down

if it only has 30% and
if the unit has a sit valve it might be possible to add a 50% encapsulated regulator
careful testing would be needed to be sure the unit will operate properly when turned down further than the maker has tested for,,,

If your worried about turn down AND your getting a great deal on the stove, say 5-600 for flat black or 6-900 for a non chipped enamel, I would just buy a thermostat for it and live with the fact that you wont be able to view a flame every time you wanted. If memory serves, all the Jotul 600 gas stoves could work on a thermostat

Why wouldn't he be able to see the flame, Franks?
Even an 8-year-old Jotul DV stove had a glass front...
