    Yodeling stove, huh?

      Jøtul? Which model?

      Had an F500 Oslo in my last house. Heated the whole place with it. Wonderful stove.

        Had a Jotul. Most worthless piece of crap woodstove I ever saw. Theoretically it had a "catlytic converter" so it burned the gasses after burning the wood, making it efficient and eviro-friendly. Ýou had to burn the thing so hot to get it up to "afterburn"stage that it'd go through wood like grease through a goose. If you burned it so that wood lasted as long as it should, it'd die out and go cold. Kept it for 1 season, then went back to my old dented "Better-N-Ben's", which was the best stove I ever had. The Garrison I have now is pretty good though.

          Mebbe you had a lemon. I had good luck and could load it in the morning let it burn hot for a bit while I had a shower and throttle it back. Load it when I got home from work, let it burn hot while I had dinner and throttle it back. Feed it just before bed a bit let it burn and throttle it back. If you did leave it wide open too long, I agree with the "grease through a goose" comment.

            I've never met a stove with a catalytic that I liked. The secondary combustion models seem to work just as well at keeping the air clean and are much less of a pain in the tush.

              it's model F3 CB...non catalytic wood stove

              some office moron in traffic decided to play clutch-butt-touch-pp and I had to slam on the brakes...it roled over but I can't find any damage yet...can't check the back until the neighbors get home and help me lift it up and set it on its legs...I won't tip it up for fear of breaking the legs

              it's heavy (did I tell you that?)

                The Jotul doesn't have a catalytic converter. It's got a secondary combustion at the top of the firebox where new air is introduced to help burn remaining particulate before it goes up the flue. You've got to get a good balance of temperature and airflow to keep the secondary combustion going. DAMHIKT.

                    I love my stove with the catalytic converter/burner. Mine works just like Canoez. Nice dry oak and maple. As far as moving it, I got mine into the house by myself. Think like an ancient Egyptian. Lots of rollers and levers.
                    I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

                      Al and I managed to get our 405 lb. stove out of the back of the pickup, up three stairs into the house, and across a stretch of wood floor non-destructively, but it wasn't easy. Be careful, Phillip, and if it starts to move in an unexpected direction, DON'T try to stop it!

                        I worked it to the tailgate and got it on its feet...some damage but easy to repair and covers up as well. Too damn heavy to get out of the truck by myself and my kids aren't answering their phones...did one of you guys tell them?

                          F3 CB.

                          I installed one of these darlings three winters ago. A very nice and perfectly behaved stove that heats my little 1200 sq. ft. house all by itself. Good draft controls and the glass stays clean. But they are heavy little suckers. I thing Phillip mentioned that.

                              I used that technique when I built the 42' steel schooner, but in reverse. The steel parts were brought in and man-handled and come-alonged and jacked into place. Once the parts were welded, though, there was no disassembly possible; that's where the 65 ton crane comes into play.

                              Your small (non-welded) stove should be a piece of cake.
