I just ordered mine, so excited

Seems odd to put the fire lighter at the top of the heap of fuel. Wouldn't the fuel catch fire sooner if the flame from the firelighter was below the fuel?

Kako izgleda lozenje na brikete?

Can anyone (eg Jotul?) link me to a diagram showing the inlet air path in the new 602? I want to work out the exact best position between front and back for setting the fire. I think it may be a little further back than in this video which has wood burning so close to the door that it might deposit soot on the door.

I use no fire lighter. I just pile up scrunched newspaper, kindling, small wood, larger wood. I leave the door open at first, as advised. I miss the damper in the door of older models which gave more direct control of air supply when lighting.

How come the official Jotul video's show different ways of lighting a fire.... I saw a video of the F500 with newspaper being used and starting bottom up, while this video shows the 'swiss' method....

I don't like this. I have heated my home with a jotul 602 for 25 years. I don't use fire starters or kindling. I just use birch bark or rolled cardboard under my wood. It is much less work and faster to light.

sorry but that is the wrong way of lightning the fire, it should go exactly the opposite way, smaller wood at the bottom and bigger wood at the top, because the fire goes up and not down
