Jotul 602 v2 air intake modification for longer burn time

The Jotul 602 v2 adheres to the stricter 2020 EPA emissions standards and for the most part it is still a great wood burner. The only complaint I had was lack of burn time. I would barely get 2 1/2 to 3 hours out of it with my cabin getting way too hot. I am showing you how to fix that in this video.

I sold the Jotul stoves for years and they are absolutely AMAZING heaters ! I love the little 602 !! I sold quite a few Oslo's and they were very well received. As a matter of fact one of the Oslo's I sold was in the Jotul USA ad. They were the best cast iron stoves I sold.

I have the same stove and thanks for the advice. One thing that helped me was installing a damper inside the stove pipe. You can use it to slow down the vacuum your chimney pulls and how fast it draws in the air through the intake. Very helpful on windy days/nights.

Great video. I moved into a place with one of these. Replacing all gaskets. This video let me see the gasket layout. Thanks!

Great video! Thank you for showing us exactly how to fix that!

Thanks, now I know why my Section 5.5 Break-in procedure fires were too hot.

I read in the instruction manual that you are not supposed to gasket the top of the glass to leave a bit of air coming in so it keeps the glass clear. I did this while replacing the gaskets and it seems to work on the 602.

I was thinking even purchasing the Jotul Black Bear stove due to the longer burn time ...yet still has a compact design

The old calibrated spin wheel draft was the best.

Interesting video in that you have an old and new stove for comparison. I would have liked to see the older stove showing the area you modified. Were the “stops “ present on the old stove?

You should show if there is more soot built up because of the modification. They have stoves that you can turn down and get a clean burn. As long as you are in a certain temperature range. What is the full run time difference with this modification and a full load? If you only get a extra half an hour? Than the mod will be a waste of time. My friend says a extra 45 minutes. I don’t think you get that much. Maybe 30 minutes. What ever makes you happy!!! Good job. Write in the comments so you don’t have to make another video. If it is a huge difference or a extra 30 minutes of burn time. At least on the mild days. You will not have to open a window.

After a couple months I noticed my springs loosened up and the air slide closed more completely. Most of the primary combustion air comes through the air wash. I still get a 6-8 hour burn with enough coals to relight without kindling but not much heat coming off the stove the last few hours.

Did u use double insulation pipe?

[@jandobes8970]

Good work.

[@arnolddavis-cu7nh]

It's a baby stove thats why

[@ninjaec]

Is that a manufacturing error or by design? I am contemplating buying that burner but I cannot be bothered to rebuild it to make it burn wood less fast.

Have you considered the Dovre 45 CBS or a similar mod on the Jøtul? The 45 adds a "second floor" to the model 40, giving a additional 1kW. AFAIK there's no original parts to the Jøtul, and probably a big job to diy this. Ditching the Jøtul 602 in favor of something larger (preferably convection) with catalytic combustion should give you a longer burn.

(Me being funny) It is not a Jodle. It´s a Jøtul :))

[@mmabbs]

Don't modify stoves, they are designed not to shut right down to prevent creosote build up and for clean burn even on low.

😂😂😂 All jotul 602 owners do this.
