Dovre model 390

[vw guy]

can anyone tell me what the value of this wood stove is. this stove landed in my garage. i had planned on keeping it until i could use it. but being in the military i transfer a lot. so i need to sell.
i have no idea about this thing. the btu rating is 9000-32000. that and there are doors on the front/side and the thing weighs 8000 lbs.
if anyone has an idea of how much this cost new that would be great or the year of it.
thanks.

I hope this is a typo as that stove is pretty heavy......4 tons....

If it does sell,don't get stuck having to pay shipping on that cow.

couldn't tell if you guys were being sarcastic but no it does not weigh 8000 lbs., more like 250 lbs.

They were haveing a little fun with you concerning the weight.

The stove info Dovre are European stoves that were not widely popular in USA. Very few dealers sold the stove.

I think there are no current active dealers. This being so , replacement parts, should one need them ,could be a real issue for anyone purchasing your stove.

Factoring this in reduces the value of your stove. Can you follow up witha picture and read the imformation found on the tag one the back of the stove.

Important is knowing if it is UL listed and EPA certified IF it is then you are selling a semi mordern stove Without a UL listing IT can be legally permitted or installled in USA or Canada
So we need more info to make an educated guestimate as to value

I think I have a pretty good idea which stove this is, but photos would help a lot in helping jog my memory and others as well.


Don't really see a lot of Dovre stoves, so I don't recall the model numbers. Craig might have an idea though, usually he's always three or four steps ahead of the rest of us on stove identification and pricing.


The 390 is EPA certified, catalytic and good for about 2.0 grams per hour, according the the paper I have in front of me. Pretty clean burner.

Do you have a picture you can post? Is this an insert or a free-standing wood stove. The only shot I could find of a 390 looked like an insert or a built-in. It was a tiny thumbnail and very hard to tell.
