Very true about the stove running away if it gets drawing too hard. I have the stove venting into a 40' chimney and it even draws with the stove unlit! If I think the stove has got too hot I usually put a big pan of water or a kettle to act as a heat soak.
I don’t. I would just measure whatever fits underneath it and make it look good. I don’t think it’s that critical to get the size exactly right. Paint it black with BBQ paint. I think it mounts with only one screw in the middle.
Just wondering how many square feet you are warming with the jotul 602 and whether you think it's over-powered or underpowered for your space Also any tips for running it overnight? I can never seem to get more than 5 hours of burning
@@offgridsimplicity thanks for your reply, I will see what my exhaust is like, but thanks for confirming you also have ~5hrs of runtime I found your channel because I was searching for jotul videos, really impressive compound and channel you've built, definitely sharing it with my cabin friends, stay warm!
I can get mine to burn for about 9 hours, then in the am It’s still warm and re-lights with kindling. With a hot bed of coals I stuff the firebox completely, let it get burning good for 5-10 min and then full Close the vent. I’ve done this in the middle of February in the northeast (temps well below 0) and it works well.

I have a 602 for years and I didn't know I could do that --- thanks for the tip
nice job...I am installing my 602 N in my fireplace as we speak
I use tree pitch and sawdust and roll it into balls for fire starters.... Little back woods trick i learned from some old timers
I rarely use kindling anymore. I use homemade starters out of egg cartons, sawdust and wax.
Do you happen to know the length and width of the bottom heat shield on the 602?

@@offgridsimplicity I got a piece cut today that should work.
Nice video! Beautiful stove! What’s the best burn time you get on that?
