Jotul F3 vs F3CB Any difference?

[jwfrazier]

Hi, I just purchased a used Jotul F3 serial #24194. This was purchased new by the original owner in 2005, but I can't find a manufacture date on it. Is there any way to find out the date of manufacture?

Also, the stove and manual just says "F3" on it. Is there any difference in this model and the new F3 CB. Will parts interchange?

Thanks for the help!!

The odds strongly are that this is an F3CB. If the stove has a secondary air system, then it's an F3CB. This is most obvious by noting the secondary air feed holes in the plate under the top baffle.

Here's a shot of the F3CB.
