Jotul 602 door

Can you switch out the doors on a 1970 door with a new model door with the glass? Found a nice little stove but man I'd love to have that glass.

Jotul 602 door question...can I buy a glass door and it will fit my old solid door?

I was just curious if the designs have changed over the years or if I could buy one of the new Jotul 602 doors with the glass view option and put it on my older 602? I am not exactly sure what year my stove is so if there are design changes it may be difficult for me to figure out which...

The models are listed and tested with how they were originally designed and sold, so it would not be suggested to swap doors. This might be an issue if there is a problem with the stove.

The early 602 just had a baffle, no secondary rack.. Once the fire gets going, only the slightest amount of air is needed for it to cruise at temperature. The modern door is leaky for the airwash and to prevent smoldering. The secondary rack boosts smoke combustion. I would be concerned that the modern door on the old stove might lead to an uncontrollable or too robust burn.

Thank you!

I think I read somewhere that the front castings were a little different between them and a new door doesn’t fit on the older stove.
