you can use them in a barn or garage but not a home installation where building codes apply. you have to buy a new, approved stove and install in accordance with design..thats why old ones are so cheap..theyre basically just scrap iron, not a usable stove, that is unless youre out in the rural or some non building code structure..pole barn or shop building..

Love the house!

I am also looking at buying a jotul, and they are stupidly expensive new. Part of the problem is that they’re imported. On the other hand, there’s many more cheaper options secondhand and even cheaper ones if you start going really obscure.

Tell them “tiber” sent you.

At night of course the fire eventually goes out but all I have done is piled on the blankets to keep warm rather then get up in the pitch black to stoke it. The stove pipe goes out the back wall of the tent (built-in silicone gasket) and turns up at a right angle outside – I used some scraps of rebar and wire to prop it up and hold it in place.

I figure inside a small cob cottage it will be nice and toasty, I will have a kettle simmering for tea on demand that can add a touch of humidity to the air – wood heat is really dry.

But I think you ought look for used ones. I’m sure you could get something very cheap. Now thats its warming you have time to wait for a good deal.
