Hi there,
I’m new here and hoping for advice before buying a very lightly used Jotul 600DV freestanding gas stove. It’s 10 years old but in excellent condition. It’s no longer hooked up and so I’m not able to check the flame or functionality. So I need to take the seller’s word for it.
I have been contemplating buying a new one but thought I should consider used. If I bought a new stove a 600DV would be more of a stove than I’m looking for and/or need. I would settle on something smaller if I bought new.
Are there any precautions you would suggest? Is there any reason buying a 10 yr old Jotul would be a bad idea? I was particularly interested in how much the flame has changed over the last 10 years… I am concerned about how it may look and how much progress has been made over the years on the quality of the flame.
Can this stove be easily converted from natural gas to propane? The manual seems to suggest yes but I’m worried since it’s a decade old. I also am under the impression it can be either a top vent or rear vent stove.... it's interchangeable, is that correct?
Getting parts could be challenging as there are limited dealers in the area and the ones listed don't have any on the floor to look at.
Anyone willing to make a ballpark range on what a 10 year old Firelight in excellent condition should run in price?
According to the manual, it doesn’t look like the 600DV has an option for a shorter leg accessory.
Any advice would be so helpful!
Thank you!
Jenn
