does higher price actually equal higher quality??

Just wondering why you don't like cast iron ?

Most just don't suit my taste, that's all. Plus the maintenance thing. I do understand that it is a once in many years thing. If I ever had one, it would be jacketed like the Alderlea.
 
Most Jotul stoves are low maintenance and basically constructed.
 
Any additional maintenance I should be doing to my Jotuls other than cleaning them and inspection.
 
Not really. Mostly it requires a good annual cleaning and making sure the baffle board is in good condition. Inspect and test the gaskets and looks for any cracks. I used to put some graphite on the air control valve slider under the doghouse too.

Thanks. Good reminder on the baffle board.
 
Wish that when I bought my stove (Osburn 2200) that I would have spent more money. I also bought it for the large fire viewing area. When it comes to stoves, more money usually means a better build, performing stove. Live and learn.
I dont want to hi-jack the thread. So if you have issues with your 2200, I'll help you with it. Just PM me with your questions and i'll work it out with you.

FYI I burn the 1800 which is the baby brother of the 2200. Our plant manager has burned the 2200 for years and he claims it's his favorite stove.
