Thanks for explaining what the marks are and how they got there. I didn't know that the material was ceramic. I did notice that we got the marks when the fireplace got really hot mainly from burning too much black locust. I need to remember to mix it with oak. That sure looked like a lot of work. In your honest opinion, is it worth all the work or would it be better to just pay to replace with new ceramic?

I use the ash powder on a wet paper towel to wipe down my glass. Done this for 10 years with my Oslo!

Great video, man! I purchased a 2024 and having a blast on it, but i too was noticing how much i bottom out. Have you added mods yet? I'll have to check out your other videos....

Thanks.

Just subscribed since I moved to a country house with the same stove as yours. Love your videos. Have you ever had air intake problems with your stove? I fixed the problem I had of lack of fresh air but I can’t seem to get a fire like yours. The only way to get a flame filled stove with good heat is with the door cracked. Even with the lever fully open (right), it just doesn’t get enough air to keep the fire going well. I wonder if there’s something internal on the intake that’s preventing good air from getting to the fire

What if you wet sanded it then polished?

Nice work. Time and attention to detail, makes for great results. Most people don't want to take the time to achieve the desired outcome.

Mine works perfectly for my farm and lite trail use. At fifty years old my crazy days of hard and fast trail riding are over so this works great for me. I just cruz and listen to the radio.

Omg! That was such a great tip shared at @00:55 I am so glad I came across your channel, it makes me so much more comfortable renting a car.

Hi do you still have your stove? I just picked used one up like yours V2

Old video but is that the Nicholson bridge? We have a farm up near Laceyville.

Wow that stove can take a lotta wood! Wonderful videos, I've enjoyed just sitting and watching for a bit of relaxation, thanks! I have an old, abused Vermont Castings Resolute Acclaim stove in our living room that will need to go or get some serious parts repair soon. It simply cannot compare to that Jotul! I never thought I could walk away from the stove with a full load, and it looks like previous occupants tried that, leading to warped and cracked interior pieces. But then it was never intended as a primary heat source, so that's OK. I am curious how that catalytic combustor has held up tho. What is the maintenance like? Supposedly you never need to replace it, but there is periodic fly ash removal needed. Also, Is there another, smaller Jotul you might recommend for lower-demanding use?

Your lucky you got this Jotul five years ago. I was going to buy one soon, (2024) but Jotul now uses a “catalyst” in all their stoves. “Jotul fusion” and “high flow” combuster technology. Quite disappointing. The catalyst has a warranty of 10 years and if it fails again will charge you 50% of that. They can make a good clean burning wood stove without this catalyst junk. I currently have a Vermont Castings Aspen model. I owned it for 25 years. No catalyst and no issues. It is a very efficient wood stove. I’m going to keep looking and hopefully I can find a nice large non” catalytic cast iron wood stove.

Just got an 89 Wrangler. Looking forward to putting on a Bikini top in spring!!

If I'm not mistaken, that stove has a cast horn at the rear to plumb for exterior air. That makes a great difference in overall performance...

I've had a F500 for 4 years now, just a quick note: If you don't want the immediate flare-up when you open the ask pan door, just open the side door before you open the ash pan door and keep it open while the ash pan door is open, and most of the draft will enter through that door (the side) instead of the bottom and it will significantly cut down on the flare up.

Why have a wood stove in a cellar to heat dirt and concrete ? Makes NO sense,

Great video and extensive review! And the narration? You’re a natural! lol! I just picked up a 2021 rzr ultimate, original owner upgraded tires to 27” over stock 26” and custom offset rims putting the stance at 55” (tire bulge, not rim). I did not check the clearance, didn’t realize theres a squat as shown in your vid, will have to inspect this weekend and adjust accordingly. I’ve a question…. Slightly pressing the accelerator pedal to maintain a speed slightly above idle, I notice a hesitation causing a jerking motion. Have you as well? If so have you looked into a remedy? I’ve seen after market plug ins, just unsure if the $300 investment would remedy this or perhaps it’s simply an adjustment of the throttle positioning sensor? Ponderings…. Have yourself a Happy Thanksgiving!

Ash pans…I’d rather shovel it out.

Love the videos and Kirk is a rock star

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions. Great narration and drone video.

Hey buddy Pete from the market here! Awesome job so far!

Well - time to get it repaired on the 1975 406 (OM352) that we have. It has been stumbling and losing fuel pressure for months now. Thank you for the head's up!

This was an awesome review and I consider it one of the best and appreciate your honesty, Ive been looking for the same type of machine and your review answered all the questions I could not find anywhere else, Believe me I've tried ! good job and thanks !

Getting ready to put the new 445 in this week

Getting one of these for my 95 YJ soon. Thank you for this great video!

you got any idea what the fuel inlet to the lift pump fitting is? Fixing up a TJ with the OM617. Using AN6 fuel lines.. trying to figure out how best to do the fuel inlet. and inline filter. Is that a big M12 to nipple on the inlet to the pump orr?

Nice! How did you throttle the stove on the break in fires? I just got an f45. Unsure if I run it wide open on all 3 or what

Your Jotul ( pron. Yer-tul) is a multi-fuel burner i.e. wood & solid fuel, as it has a grate to allow air to enter from beneath the the solid fuel. Dedicated wood burners such as the Jotul No 3, have no grate, only a flat base, as wood burns best on a bed of it's own ashes, with the air supplied only from above, albeit in an airwash design. If you do use any solid fuel, you should know that it virtually always contains a small % of Pet-coke (for ease of lighting,) derived from petro-chemicals. This certainly causes crazing of the glass such as you have experienced here, but it is almost impossible to source solid fuel without it as an ingredient. I now have Morso, as Scandinavian cast iron stoves are often regarded as the best, by many users. Thanks for posting.

I had an RZR… 2008 2009. I believe, I beat the living snot out of that thing for two years and other friends following me told me I was burning oil…. So I traded it in and bought a Honda…. come to find out later on the man who bought the RZR, the engine blew up!.. the man who bought it was a pretty competent mechanic however,Weiseco sent him the wrong pistons, and it blew up again! not really surprised. .. no more side-by-sides for me .. too big and heavy, currently a 2024 Polaris sportsman 570 Hunt edition… so far great machine.😊

it is Ayden

cool

Good review. I'm shopping for one of these and I appreciated the honesty from you. That rear ground clearance issue is interesting and I'll definitely check that out in the showroom when I go look for one.

P.S. don't load from the front, use the side door. Ashes pile up on the front and spill out when opening. We never used the front for loading. The only poor design of a super wood stove.

No one seriously using a wood stove for major heating places it in a cellar . Wood stoves are for heating areas where you spend time; local heat. Sure "heat rises", but.... In a cellar most of the BTUs pass out the foundation into dirt. In over 12 years with the Oslo ( and another stove in another part of the home ) we never used the front door since the ashes pile up and fall out when loading. Experience.

Excellent stove, high quality, efficient heater. BUTT! Most of the BTUs go out into the foundation into dirt. Wood stoves need to be where you spend time.

Great stove? Some people let the ash pan build up and just shovel out the ash. This also helps extend the burn times. The new V3 Oslo has a cat and there has been some reported problems.

You need a rear back panel or else it acts like a vacuum and sucks all the dust into the cab

where can I buy it? name and brand please?

Stove and wood too close......

Thanks for the instruction! I’ve thought about installing mirrors in the front like you did, but how well do they stay in place during bumpy riding? I bought some after market door mirrors that would never stay in place while riding, so went back to stock mirrors..

Thank you for the video I’m learning this is very helpful

Lots of wood near the stove........

What a nice old one. Greetings from germany Christoph 🎩 😊

That is the Tunkhannock Creek viaduct in Nicholson isn’t it?

Awesome video on your amazing stove. Seeing that you heat your whole house with wood, do you think a catalytic stove would've saved you on the amount of wood used? My understanding is that catalytic stoves have extremely slow burn times of up to 30 hours. I'm currently shopping for a wood stove, your videos have been extremely helpful - I'm thinking about going with the same model!

If you were mostly riding on trails would you rather have this RZR or a Can Am Outlander XXC?

I have a 2023 RZR 900 Trail, I can confirm everything you said. Excellent review.
