I don't know if it was on ebay. I found this one on craigslist. A friend of mine e-mailed me that they had seen it listed on craigslist and knew I was still looking for one. The owner and I e-mailed back and forth and then talked on the phone and negotiated a price which was lower than his asking price and one that made me drive the distance to CT. It is in better shape than my green one and that one is in great condition. This one looks like it is new. It is a new used stove. It has had wood burned in it. I don't think Jotul made any other colors besides the red and green. If they did, I might have to start looking for other colors. I have to put up a chimney for this one. Still deciding which way I want to go with the chimney. I am still entertaining the idea of power venting it with a power backup for the power vent. Any thoughts?

They made white ones to seen a few over the years Green and red was the most popular colors Nice Stoves

Have you seen one of the white ones in the last few years? I bet they look pretty cool. Maybe not as cool as the red or green but still cool. It would be cool if they made a black one. I wouldn't mind finding one of the white ones. It sounds like I'm starting a collection. Not a bad idea. Wife probably wouldn't like the idea.

The top door is where you load the coal, the middle door is for cleaning out the burn pot. The rotating grate is located behind the middle door. The bottom door is the ash pit. These stoves have a small ash pan in the ash pit. The stove can be filled to the top of the brick. It can not be filled above the brick due to the fact the cast inserts above the brick can not take a hot fire against them. The stove when filled to the top will have a coal bed of almost thirteen inches in depth. The round burn pot of the stove is very good. I have no ash build up in the stove due to the fact there are no ledges or corners for ash to build up in. I have never had the need to poke the fire either from the top or from the bottom. When the stove is cleaned out and your starting a new fire, the stove will hold almost forty pounds of coal. The stove can burn pea, nut, stove, and egg coal. I have burned all of them at some point last season. I blend stove and nut when the temps fall below -20 and run nut coal the rest of the time. I have burned just stove coal in it too. Egg coal is tough to burn in these stoves. There are a few other members on the coal forum that have Jotul stoves and burn them. I use my green Jotul as the only heat source for my house. Last season it heated 1060 sq. ft. This season my wife wants the entire house to be heated 2500 sq. ft and this is the reason for the purchase of the red Jotul. For a stove that produces a little over 42,000 btu, they do a good job.

Last year I looked at one and a few years before that one I looked at another one both were down at the Black Angus
Antique Mall in Ademstown PA. If I remember correctly one was 850.00 the other was 975.00 .

snowman, for the amount of heat you need especially with going with heating a larger space, have you considered a bigger stove. You could be one of the first members with one of the monster d.s. machine stoves to give it a real workout, especially with the climate your in.

Those jotul's are a beautiful stove though.

Yes, I have considered getting a bigger stove. I had thought of a stoker and hooking it to my forced air system, however, I can not get a stoker down in my cellar (no outside door). My house is an old L shaped farm house, so trying to ge the heat to the other end of the house is the problem. The single Jotul would do the job if it were not for the shape of the house. The addition of the second Jotul will solve the moving heat problem and allow me to heat the 2500 sq. ft. If I were to put in a stoker in the house I would still have the problem of moving heat through the house. I have a return duct exiting in front of the single Jotul which when I installed it made moving the heat much better, just not enough. A coal fired boiler located outside the house with baseboard heat would be ideal. I firmly believe the two stoves will be able to heat the entire house. Last season the one Jotul heated 1060 sq. ft. to a temp of 72 F with little problems. When we had a two week cold snap of -25 F the Jotul was able to keep the house at 68 F. The wife is more excited about burning the second Jotul than I am.

I understand where you coming from now. And even if you did DHW coil(s) in your existing jotul and ran a run or two of baseboard, it would be as much of a plumbing hassel and expense as just buying a second stove and putting up a chimney. Now you get to have double the fun of running two stoves and not just one. At least your going to have some help with it.

Help with it? My wife likes the coal heat, however, she is not very good at tending the stove. The last time she tended the stove, she almost overfired it. She just assume let me tend the stoves. I actually like running the Jotul. Yes, it will be twice the fun! Once you learn how the Jotul likes to be fired, it is a very easy and a forgiving stove to run. I will stagger the refill times of the stoves so one stove will always be at operating temp. It should be pretty cool. I say this now but my tone may change when I'm running both stoves. At least I will not be burning oil.

The weight of the stove is 231 pounds. It can produe a BTU of 42,400 at high burn and 12,400 BTU on low burn. I think the stove is under rated as to how much it can produce on high. The stove has a very small foot print: 36.4 Height, 12.6 Length, and 13.6 width.

130 to 170 Right now When the Heating season starts next month you will see a ten dollar a ton Jump at a few breakers
mostly on Rice coal the other sizes stay the same . Mine Run coal / Lump coal runs from 50 to 80 a ton

The BTU output will also depend on the coal you burn Not all coal is the same . 12.900 BTU Per lb to 13.800 or more
