Moved into a house that had a Jotul 507b that came with it. Being unfamiliar with coal, coal stoves....etc, I was at a loss, trying to figure it out. I spent way too many hours on websites and youtube. All that I accomplished was making a mess, pissing myself off and staying cold. I found this site, joined and saw that "the snowman" had the exact same stove. I sent him a message and bam, received a detailed and simple procedure that worked right away. So thank you snowman and thanks to those who put up this website so knuckle headed newbies like me could learn something!

The snowman knows his stuff on the Jotuls - no question about it... Glad you are now toasty warm! It is a nice feeling this time of year...NickVulpine wrote:Moved into a house that had a Jotul 507b that came with it.

I had a 507 for a short time. Just as I sold it I learned something: The ash pan does not live IN the stove! It is used as a scoop to load the coal into the stove, then as a shovel to empty the ashes. That's why it has only three sides. Maybe you knew that already. Anyway, enjoy the stove!
