Hello,
I am considering the Jotul F500 V3 Oslo. Anyone have any positive or negative experiences with this stove. The dealer recommended this stove when I said I was looking at Quad 5700.

We purchased this stove in 2020. first one needed to be replaced was not intact, 2nd stove burned nicely but the catalytic combustor fell apart first season, got a replacement. 2nd is falling apart. and now the stove does not burn like it did first season, smoking, losing draft. Contacted dealer no help, contacted Jotul still awaiting their reply. and read fine print re: 20yr cat warranty. would not recomment
