looking for Iron Jotul castine

[bird]

I was already to buy the Jotul Castine in that nice iron (gray) finish only to find out it's discontinued. Drat!

Any dealers out there who have one that you'll ship to me? Contact my private email: [email protected]

You should also post this in the classifieds, as there is a rebuild guy there and some dealers have also posted stoves......

Bird, try a phone call to Gabe at Preston Trading Post (CT) if you cannot find anywhere else closer. Google them.

Odd that they would do that, all it is is spray paint. I just ordered an iron colored extended surround for my Kennebec. I am hoping the extra cast iron surface area will distribute more heat into the room.

By the way, I second the idea of calling the Preston Trading Post. They are my absolute favorite stove store in the area... lots of stock, good staff, and a comfortable environment.

Thanks for the ideas. What do you think about painting a black stove? Especially having it done by an auto body shop. I have access to that service.

I would imagine that if you strip off the glass and all the little accessory bits, that repainting a stove any color you want is fairly simple. I read about people refurbishing old wood and coal stoves all the time, and they always hit them with a new coat of paint. Perhaps you can get a used Castine and repaint it, but I would start calling every dealer under the sun first to see if anyone has an iron colored one in stock.
