Jøtul 602 Classic, Restore and Assembly

The worlds most sold stove in this type of box stove. Came on marked about 1935 and are still made. Now with secondary burn patent and glass door. Same size and outlook...with the ribs on the sides and the lion relief made by artist Ørnulf Bast. Old and classic ! This movie shows you about all you need to know about this stove....The classic one.

You're the only person I've seen do it right so far. There's a million "restoration" videos of these stoves, and I can't find another one who actually takes the stove completely apart, and reseals the joints with furnace sealer. Everyone else just rubs a wire brush on it, then paints it, and calls it "restored." Well done.

Great work. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share your knowledge with us. Greetings from Croatia.

Thank you for the help.

Thank you , this is just what I needed as I have bought an old 602N and need to restore it.

[@John-wr6yo]

Can you leave the top loose with only tounge and groove gasket for sealing so you can remove the top for easy and quick cleaning out,and wire brushing down.

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot.

Thanks, realized my jøtul is missing a inner plate and the fire goes straight up the chimney..

[@robertmacinnis4210]

thank you i could not figure out how the plates went back in

[@seoulkidd1]

Can the glass doors off a newer model fit

[@ogreunderbridge5204]

I am giving my good ol´ 602N same sort of love at the moment. Got more edges to the surfaces than yours, one for metal fittings and one for ... 6mm/1/4 " glassfiber/glue wick, I think. Those original screws I broke to dismantle the stove seemed in my eyes to be of iron. I see you put in regular steel or is it stainless ones ? How does the thermal expansion difference story go to that in relation to cast iron parts, do you know ?

I have the same classic model in green. Do you have that back plate available? I have a cracked back that I’d like to replace. Do you sell parts?

[@thomaskoda697]

Do you need to put Fire brick on the bottom of stove ? Thank you

My screws inside stove came loose a bit. Is it a good idea to tighten them every now and then? Or do I have to take it apart and reseal it?

[@xz4wkd]

Great job.

I have this same stove. Three of the legs are wobbly but I can’t budge the flat head screws. I’ve used penetrating oil over night and still can’t move them. Any tips?

[@m123isforme2]

What product did you use for the sealant?

[@NYCamper62]

I have the same stove.And yes, she's a classic. 👍
