Stove ID please

[Diabel]

I am still sort of looking for a second stove for my basement set up. I came across this unit recently, I think this is a castine & apparently it is two years old. Can the experts confirm...thanks. I realize the pic is not ideal...

That's what it looks like. Got a good price on it?

The guy wants $500.00 for it. Any idea in terms of firebox size & burn times?

Thanks

Sounds like a good deal to me! I found some info on the Jotul site, might check it out.

Dont think so, brand new F500s are selling at good dealers for $1800

Great stove and great price. It looks like it has been run with unseasoned wood or too cool judging by the window stains. But maybe they just never cleaned it.

The Castine has ~1.5 cu ft firebox. Burn times will vary greatly with the wood and how hot the stove is run. With softwood we would get 4-5 hrs unless the dead of winter, then it was more like 3. But that is actual heating times and not how long there were coals to start a fire the next morning. With hardwood folks report better results.

Thanks for the input guys, unfortunately it looks like the stove just got sold...I missed it. Oh well, I will keep looking.

On a side note, I just scrounged two face cords of beech! And it made my day!!
