Hey All, Been awhile since I've been on. I have a question for you about the Jotul that i can't find an answer to in the manual and maybe someone can help. My Jotul f 3 CB has been and continues to be a great little stove. This season we had occasion to move it while installing new flooring. The installers moved the stove and picked it up from the bottom. After the flooring was installed and it was returned into position for attaching the stove pipe i had to move it slightly. i picked up on the stove top and it was a little loose. I cant find the bolts to tighten the top down. On my old consolidated dutchwest, there were some 10 mm bolts on each corner so you could loosen the top and take it off or tighten it down. Anyone know where the bolts are and how to get to them. I felt up in the corners on the inside but i didn't feel anything.
Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
 
The top is held down by two small allen screws, one on each side. Be sure the top is level and fully down before tightening. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.
 
Wow, November 2005 thread. One of the first here. I've circled the screw in red.
