Hello!
I am looking at potentially purchasing a 9 year old Jotul F3 for $500. The description says it needs a new baffle ($128 part). Is this a reasonable deal? Is the baffle replacement fairly straight forward? From what I gather from my research the top just needs to be removed and the baffle assembly is a bolt in component, is there anything else that should be done while I am in there? Anything else I should look for when I go to look at this unit? I'm looking to upgrade from an old F'Jord wood stove I was given for free that is no longer airtight.

Thanks!
