I have a Jøtul F 118 Big Bear wood stove that I have never used. It’s a 2005 model that I bought from a man that used it for two seasons. It’s been sitting in my garage ever since. It’s in good shape and I’m going to sell it but don’t know what to ask for it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does this have the secondary rack in it or just a cast iron baffle?
 
The F118 had the baffle only. The F118CB has the secondary rack. The original F118 was a great stove, the F118CB had a rough start and issues with improper burn and the rack warping. This was remedied in later versions.

I didn't know the original F118 was still made or could be purchased in 2005, thus the question. If you can wait until September the stove should sell in the $600-800 range. Right now it might be a harder sell in GA, so more toward the lower price.
