Just ordered a new Jotul 602 stove for the hunting cabin, this video is so helpful for us to get started with all the tips, thank you!

I found one of these used out at Sauvies Island. I'm building out a tiny home (360 sq feet) and found that this model was perfect. The temperature is starting to drop so we are trying to get this project rolling. Thanks for the pointers, I appreciate your perspective with conservation, purpose stacking, and reuse.

Leave a window open.my experience with jodel stoves is they super heat on a full wood box

Wow! Thank you for your video. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen regarding wood stoves in general, but the Jotul F602 in particular. I plan on using this stove when I build a small (200 sq. ft.) out building. All the best!

They are a great little stove !!! I sold a lot of Jotul stoves over the years !

thanks so much I have a Yotul 602 and I love this stove and your tips have really helped me as a novice.

I have the same stove in my 800 sq ft log cabin. It was my sole heat and cooking sorce last winter. Had no problem keeping the cabin in the mid 70's even with below 0 weather. I prefer to monitor stack temps with a probe thermometer about 20" above the stove, there's less delay than monitoring the stove top temp and its easier to see from a distance. I burn mostly Aspen because it's mostly what I have on my land, most say its trash wood but I tell them it burns fine and burns better than snow balls!

I wouldn’t say burn through the night but with good hardwood you can have enough coals for relight in 6-8 hours. This stove seems to produce good heat on a full load for 4-5 hours.​@@woodspirit98 I

This is the best video on wood stoves!

This the most informative video about wood stoves I've seen on youtube. Learned so much. I live in an 1800s home with an open fireplace that I want to convert to something actually useful. A fireplace insert seemed like the obvious answer, but a freestanding stove serves so many more functions, as you've demonstrated, that I really want to go that route if possible. Thanks!

We are going to be putting in our first wood stove in the next month or two. Excited. We will be doing ours ourselves...not a lot of regulations in Western Kentucky!

That’s so exciting!! One thing I forgot to mention in the video is how important it is to have a carbon monoxide detector if you have a Woodstove, whether professionally installed or not. Best of luck with the installation and enjoy all the toasty fires!

Great video. We are about an hour and a half north of Portland. All the reviews/videos I've seen so far have been from the NE so it was nice to see it in the PNW and how it's holding up out here.

very smart woman! and skilled!

I have a Jotul in my studio (converted old detached garage). It was there when we moved in. I don't know what model it is. It has two chambers, the lower chamber is the fire box and the upper chamber retains the warm air. I would love to get a fan for the top. It is a super cozy stove!

I love my Jotul 602!

Great video. Can put a couple thick blocks of soapstone on top of the stove for overnight heat retention.

I love our Jotul 602. We have a straw bale home in central Kentucky. It keeps us toasty warm all winter long. We also make biochar in the wood stove, to add to our compost pile, then our gardens. Another function to stack on top. Please discuss how you bake potatoes or sweet potatoes using your wood stove. I've fried them, or made soups in my pressure cooker, but not done any baking. Thanks.

Oh I have been thinking about making biochar in ours. Thanks for reminding me! I use a heavy Dutch oven and rub the potatoes/sweet potatoes in bacon grease and stab some holes in them with a paring knife. I stick the Dutch oven on the stove with the lid on. Flip after 30 min and just let them go until done...about an hour? Depends on the temp of the stove and size of The spud.

What type of connector piece did you use to go from the stove to the 6 inch double wall?

Good stuff, thx.

LOVE your educational video! I'm shopping for a small wood stove. What are the measurements of your wall behind the stove and the hearth? Can you explain the steps and materials used to make the hearth? What are the clearances to the wall? And where did you find that wainscot? Beautiful!

Nice, Hello from Russia 👍

Do you remove the cooking surface disc when cooking? I like the soapstone and green colour...my jotul is in a 35ft MCI coach...love it! Cheers!

I agree, I don’t love having a shorter fire box. It often means when I find free wood, I have to get out the chainsaw and buck it shorter. But it does allow for less clearance and it doesn’t stick out into our living room as far, which was important to me, since the space is small. But it is more work. For sure.

Great video! BTW - I noticed your wall receptacle is sunken on the left side of the stove. An electrical box extender should be installed to bring the receptacle out flush to the cover. It’s very easy to do and there’re lots of KZread videos on how to do it.

Parkrose.....curious how you feel about the Vermont castings aspen wood stove (debating between this Jotul and the aspen). BTW... I own a Jotul FB c3 at my weekend cabin and it is dear to my heart.

@ParkrosePermaculture

At the time, it was about $300 more than the Jotul and the Jotul was slightly more efficient. I’m not sure what the efficiency is of the new aspen, but those were the two deciding factors for us at the time.

I'm curious about how you handle cooking smells and spatters, or even cooking prep. Do you prepare in the kitchen and bring it in to the woodstove? Does the fan help dissipate smells? (I know they're usually wonderful smells, but I can't be the only one who burns stuff!) As for spatters, is the area easy to clean up?

@ParkrosePermaculture

I don’t fry or sauté on it, only make baked things like bread and potatoes or a pot of stew. I do the prep in the kitchen and carry it in. I will say when removing the lid to check things, it’s really important that the stove is hot enough to dry off any condensation that may drip from the lid or you can get rust spots. It’s definitely not a stove for doing all my cooking, but it’s nice for some basic things.

Vynikajúca piecka. 👍

We are considering buying this stove for our 860 square foot house one story with ten foot ceilings. It’s also open concept. I’m worried it won’t heat sufficiently. Do you think I’m your experience with the stove it would be sufficient? We’re on Vancouver island so I’m pretty sure it’s a similar climate to yours!

It's rated to heat up to 800 square feet. I've found that in our 1435 square foot house, it heats the entire downstairs and we don't run the heater very much in the winter as a result. My dream is to cut a hole in the ceiling and put in a register to the floor above, because honestly, the front two rooms of our house get VERY toasty and the upstairs is still quite cold (because no heater running). I've been SUPER happy with how much this stove heats our downstairs space.

How long does it take to boil water? Say maybe two quarts.

Say you go to bed with a full fire box at 11pm, is it possible to still have heat from the stove at 5am?

I would say it is still slightly warm by 5 AM. And the blocks of soapstone I now have piled around. It will also still have a little bit of radiant heat. But the room will be cold.

Do you have cold air intake?

We bought our stove at the Homestead Stove Company in Portland and they connected us to a licensed installer. I'm not sure what the law is where you are, but here you can't install your own and you need a permit. The licensed installer inspects and issues the permit AND does the installation.

I have this stove. It's awesome, the fact that it fits a 16" log easy is a serious life saver. The Grizzly mini my buddy has forces him to cut the wood extra small with a chainsaw. The grizzly mini works really well, it saves space but the Jotel saves you lots of time.

i'm no expert but as far as i know, the operational temp is supposed to be taken on the stovepipe, not the stove itself.

Oh, you are correct. It's to regulate chimney fires. She can use it as she explains for monitoring, but they belong at least 18" from the exhaust port on the stove. But you're correct. For safety. Don't use wet oak, that guage will rise from quicker creosote build up. I guess if you're a putz like me, you may not need a thermometer. But get one for the pipe. Cheers.

Depends on the wood. We use hardwood and if you damp it way down when you go to bed, it is about 50/50 if you still have glowing embers after 7 or 8 hours. For that though, the box is usually still warm and the next fire is very easy to start.

I do not put extenders on receptacles behind stoves, they stay much cooler when 3/4" behind the faceplate. My choice is to move the receptacle before installing the stove. You don't melt / dry out the cords to fans etc back there. Michael in Colorado.

Walnut produces a oily combustible creosote that causes chimney fires so I don't use it inside a stove. I do like your straight shot stovepipe. Any wet creosote can drain back into the fire. I told a coworker about that and he said I was " full of shit". About a month later he did have a chimney fire . Caution!

Yes absolutely I think it’s important if you’re burning resinous wood to make sure you’re in the safe burn zone and to get your chimney cleaned regularly. Doubly so if you’ve got a bendy chimney pipe. I make sure our stovepipe is kept clean especially because I use our local cedar to start most fires (abundant, lights very easily) but it is known for creosote buildup.

Save the earth ! ....move to Mars !....combustion fast / slow decaing , all = in time , thank you for the video ! some extra load is the fan , heat rizes ....when I would like to preserve the heat the ashes are back in the fire''box'' covering all , in the morning is charcoal , ....on mine I use the rear exit for larger top surface , !

it depends on where you live, as the price can vary a bit, but we paid $900 USD for ours.

Please check fire codes before cutting into the ceiling/floor and installing registers, there’s all kinds of safety considerations so that it doesn’t increase the risk of a fire being able to move quickly between floors. (I’m sure you would do that, but I couldn’t watch this and not say anything.)

Do you really have to buy a brand new stove to install in Portland, or rather a model that is new in the sense that it is new enough to meet current EPA clean air regulations with either air tubes or a catalytic element? If you are forced to buy brand new, it seems kind of illogical, given that barely used EPA wood stoves that come up for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace, and going in the opposite direction of the concept of reduce/reuse/recycle.
