The production of street casting started in 1952, and is currently the main product area. Ulefos Jernværk AS is located at Ulefos.

We don't hear much about that stove company. They are Norway's oldest with the original foundry dating back to 1657. The 865 is similar to the Jotul 118 (also from Norway) and an old, classic design. It may have a bit more wood capacity than the 118. How does it look on the interior? What condition is the baffle in? Does it have side burn plates?
Before firing it up, put an inch or two of clean sand on the bottom of the firebox.

Typically these stoves have burn plates to protect the cast iron from overheating. The sand on the bottom is for the same reason. It provides an insulating protective layer to stop overheating the bottom of the stove and the hearth.
