Jotul F3 Classic - new proud owner needs a bit of advice!

[NewJotulF3owner]

I have a Jotul F3 Classic which is probably at least 10 years old (I have bought a house with one in) and I need to adjust the flue to be top vented and not rear vented.

I have swapped the flue and plates around on the exterior and all seems fine with those, but do I need to adjust any of the interior panels also? There is one panel currently positioned inside across the top which is moveable, and for the old rear-vented set-up it seemed to be in the best position, but now this is top-vented it looks to be blocking the flue a little.

Can anyone advise? (NB - in the picture the rear plate is not yet in place but is now!)

Many thanks

Is this a gas or wood stove?

Hi
Its a wood stove. Classic Jotul F3

I don't find any special instructions for changing the baffle when top-venting the woodstove, but that is for US models. Does this stove have a secondary combustion baffle in it?

I think I've found the answer myself. Its the baffle plate to encourage secondary combustion so its in the right and only place it can be in.

Any other advice welcome!

The F3 is a good little stove. Burn dry wood and it will be a willing heater.
