Value of a Jotul #4 ?

[bubbasdad]

Curious as to the value of a #4 Jotul? I might be able to buy one for $300 ?

If it has the screen and the door retraction isn't busted then the Easter Island, Combifire, stove is probably worth three hundred. I don't know why in the world you would want to burn in one but you probably are in the range people will take for one in good shape.

I had one in 1986, it came with the house we bought. I took it out in 91, sold it to a guy I worked with. I actually was going to the dump with it, after work. I mentioned that i had a woodstove that i had to get rid of. This electrician I worked with jumped up and said "i'll buy it! How much? " I told him $500, we dickered a bit, settled on $350. So after work, I delivered it to his house, helped him put it in the garage, collected the $350. My commuting buddy and neighbor was grinning the whole time. The next morning he came to me and asked, really begging, "Can I tell him??? Please?" After laughing my azz off, I said yeah, wth! About 10 minutes later the electrician passed me in the isle, yelling " You folking jew" I laughed so much I was crying.... Hell, I'm laughing now!! It took him awhile to get over that

I ran into this guy recently, the stove is still where I put it 22 years ago.... He wants $350, but I ain't ever gonna pay that

Hilarious. Yeah people buy them all the time. And learn. They are great out on a concrete deck.

As odd as the stove looks it actually heated pretty well for its vintage. And folks like the clever stow-a-way door. Many used them as fireplaces in the cool weather and stoves in the winter. Check it out carefully, especially the door mechanism. Repair is not cheap.

Oreven possible? Lasttime Ichecked, those door rails were not available. But I mean really. Even if they are...

Its a good stove for a bar, or like Bart said, the patio.
