Can't leave the class A chimney exposed in the closet. Must wall it off. Otherwise, clothes, boxes, etc. will end up against it. Take carpet out of the area to be enclosed. Put service door into area and smoke detector in closed off area, making sure you can access the smoke detector for battery change.

I have a question. Usually hydro bill is $85 a month or less . My roommate has one of these units in her bedroom .she's been using it a lot the last month and even left the heat on at about 72 f She left it running non stop for over 25 hours while at work and probably uses the unit to heat her room often Our apartment is heated by gas . These units were installed mostly for AC. As we are on 3rd floor of a house Our hydro bill is separate from other units in house Our hydro bill was $233. For one month . Which normally would be $85. How much electricity cost wise does this unit use in a month ? With gas heating the average temp in apartment is about 68f and a bit colder overnight .as we live in Toronto and Last winter our hydro bills were between $70 to $85 a month and our gas bills were about $175 a month in winter I rarely cook and use the dryer once or twice a month Thanks ...btw these units are fantastic for cooling in summer

Bummer, I thought I was going to see the actual installation! Beautiful job though, it looks fantastic.

I really like the stone used, can you provide the name of the Eldorado stone.

Have the Oslo 500 and Rangeley TL50. I like them both very much. Only issue it the loading baffle peace on the Rangeley has warped twice on me now.

i have the 602 and love it

Absolutely avoid buying this insert if you want to heat anything larger than a small room. The air intake is undersized and will not feed enough air to burn anything with a tight grain such as red oak, white oak or cherry. You will be forced to leave the door cracked open for any kind of hardwood burn.

Jotul follows in the footsteps of a true American stove company who also makes stoves from cast iron: Vermont Castings, Randolph, Vermont. Are the Jotuls as good, or better than the VC stoves? Depends on who you talk to. I've yet to find a VC owner who switched to Jotul or a Jotul owner who's owned a VC stove. Even then, it'd only be one person's opinion. At least the VC stoves are made in America. But kudos to Jotul for making their stoves of cast iron, like all stoves should be - at least, in part.

Hello - i'm having a gas line put in to an old fireplace opening for a new valor portrait FP. Here it looks like the hook up is in front. What's the best place in the fireplace floor to have the connection run to? Towards the back on the side? Or front on the side?

If youre replacing a fireplace, DO NOT BUY ONE OF ThESE. It's weird catalytic top and back make it almost impossible to reverse the wind machine of cold outside air to draft it on a day below 30°. We'll be selling ours ASAP

Hard to regulate unless you have a degree in engineering

Thank you very much

hard to hear u talk over the music,gave up

Can you tell me the height you chose for installation? It looks great, and I like the height within the room. Thanks!

Fisher made the best wood stove hands-down.

I will say this, other manufacturers do offer a similar product to the heat-shift system from valor, such as "Flare" , "napoleon" and "Mendota" here in California.

I love valor as a gas heater brand. Im here in the south bay area, and have been installing them for almost 20yrs. Bullet proof product!

Back in the mid-'70s, I had a Store "The Stove Craft Shop" in Western WV and was the farthest south and West Dealer in the US for Jotul Stoves at that time. They were by far the best quality and most efficient wood stoves on the market, everybody else copied their baffle plate construction to increase their efficiency, there were many Jotul copy cats that emerged around that time. Unfortunately, the importer "Kristia Assoc." in Portland Maine priced the stoves more for their Northeastern "elitist" market and my market in a more central and rural US couldn't afford the stoves and the dealer price was only about 25% less than the advertised retail making them very difficult to sell. Still, they were Great stoves if you could afford one, I still heat my house here in central FL with my original Jotul combifire #4 some 45 years later! In fact, there is a fire in it right now with my cat sitting in front of it. I also have a Jotul Lumberjack #380 unfired and unused as a display in my living room, a beautiful cookstove that the Importer didn't bring to the US for many years because they thought the nude woman sculpted in the side panels would offend our Puritan American sensibilities! After much clamor from the dealers, they brought a few in for us but, again the price was too high for most, thus my collector's item. Good luck to you, you seem to be in an area that can more afford these wonderful Gems!

What a joke. Better available for a lot less.

I'm in New England. You're a dealer west coast who sells jotul. They are great I have Oslo 500

Great job. I love the Valor brand. Maxitrol products are great. Have had no problems with them overall for 17 years. Lemons every now and then.

looks great! what was the width of your framing for this portrait to sit into?

Jotul600 vs jotul f50 tl(usa) ? Your opinion please

What's the product you used to adhere the cultured stone to the hardy board?

Parlor stove is the best woodstove

Just bought one of these stoves back in the UK based on watching yours and other videos....love it.

I have an F600, and just over 3000 SqFt with vaulted ceilings on either side of my home. The F600 heats all of this area unbelievably well. Most days I have to crack a window it gets so hot in here. Great stove.

Do you have a video of venting a similar fireplace out the exterior wall? I'm looking to install something very similar on an exterior wall and I'd like to see how its done and you do great work. Thank you in advance.

Y'all sell Jotul. You saying they best. Ok.

Im on my second jotul and this one is a 500 ..Doesnt put out enough heat to heat past 5 feet from stove..Owned a 400 In Alaska that would cook you out of the upstairs..Its like im burning wood for nothing in this 500

just one generation? ours have lasted three generations and counting

pointless video.
