. . .Does anyone have the retail price on the F55?
I just got word from a Jotul dealer that I've been talking with. . .price on the F55: $2199. . .

Just and FYI. A stove lined with fire brick is more or less a convection stove. The Oslo only has fire brick in the rear to get the six in rear wall clearance. It is mostly lined with cast iron burn plates and is more or less a radiant stove.
The full quote from the link I posted is:Unfortunately, you can't really go by the mfr's specs at the nitty-gritty level of loadable firebox capacity. The best way to compare them would be to measure the fireboxes yourself. We've sorta started a standard here called the "usable space" in a firebox.

Looks like the Oslo = 14 x 13 x 24"

Well for the Oslo that's pretty close--2.52 v. 2.54.
I did not mean to question the 2.54 spec, just to suggest that you need to measure the firebox to know for sure. . .trying to suggest that he measure the CG and compare to 14 x 13 x 24".Since the stove is cold and I was curious, I just measured the firebox of my Oslo. Not counting the area that protrudes for the front door (you can't really put wood there) it is 14" X 13" X 24", for a 2.5 cu. ft. firebox.

(I don't think the 2.54 cu ft was a published spec two years ago when that thread was created. This is he first time I've seen an officiaI spec for volume from Jotul.)
IMO, it's also better to go by the dimensions instead of the total volume. A stove that was 14 x 15 x 20" would only be 2.43 cu ft, but would hold more wood than a 14 x 13 x 24" stove, if you were using, say, 18" logs, as many people do. (Not counting cramming scraps on the end of the stack.)
How 'bout some measurements on that PH?[/quote
