I see a lot of people selling their old wood-burning stoves on Facebook Marketplace. They say the older ones burn too much wood, so they’re replacing them with newer, more modern ones.

Is there a question here?

I also see some outrageous high prices for some of these old smoke dragons on marketplace but there are some good deals out there. I found a never been burned Jotul 602 CB for $500!

Op is correct though, lots of older (some still clean burning stoves) seems to be for sale, but some are outrageous price-wise. Guess if someone will pay for it, then its worth that to them. Lots of wood piles are popping up locally, I think last winter snapped some people back to it still can be cold. I know I'm gonna be better prepared wood-wise. Everybody hold on, and pray for more reasonable heating prices.

Whoa...really? That's one of the most sold stoves in history. How is it they never even burned in it, not once?

I've seen a bunch of older stoves on marketplace here in NJ. Some are pretty cheap and have been posted for a while so the current demand for them is pretty weak.

Cutting, splitting, stacking and carrying wood tends to get old for most pretty quickly. Then the dirt in the house makes the stove much less appealing versus the ambiance. The ones that say their new stoves will burn less wood might be slightly correct. Then they find the stoves require more finesse to control and require very dry wood to work correctly.

Its always a learning curve with any stove, except the fuel. For success, the wood has to be dry. With that satisfied, almost any stove will bring warmth and enjoyment. Now is a good time to get a stove for less on the used market, another 6-8 weeks, then things go the other way.

The guy changed his mind about installing it and left it in his garage for 12 years. 😳 Now I have this 602 and another V2. One or the other will be put into service when I get done playing with my 606.
