Araucaria Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've recently bought secondhand a Jøtul Woodburning Stove, the model Number 3. It's in pretty good condition.It was used originally with a rear exit for the flue, and that's how I'll want it too, but from looking at the Jøtul websites there maybe ought to be a special (?) cast-iron collar to accomodate the flue pipe. My stove just has a hole in the back.Can anyone recommend a helpful Jøtul supplier who might be able to get me this part? Alternatively, does anyone know whether the collar is actually needed? I suspect it is, as the flue gases are hottest at this part of the chimney (just as it leaves the fire) and presumably the galvanised chimney that I intend to use would pretty soon burn through.

Clair Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The garden supply shop next to Mr Bricolage (opp Gifi) in Aurillac sells Jøtul woodburners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araucaria Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 So it does Clair - as I'm a frequent visitor to Mr Bric, I'll ask in the garden shop part (it's also Mr Bric) next time I visit. I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araucaria Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I finally got to Mr Bric's stoves department in Aurillac today. They were very helpful, and they have ordered the parts I need. As far as I was able to tell (and most of Jøtul's on-line parts lists seem to have been translated from the original Norwegian by a monoglot Patagonian) the price was about 60% less than what one of the UK suppliers was quoting. None of the other UK suppliers quoted a price at all, and one UK dealer I phoned offered a non-Jøtul spare ("which you'll have to adapt") for twice the amount I'm paying in Aurillac for the real thing.So thanks again Clair.Mind you, the state of the roads getting there was hair-raising!

[:)]I've dealt with them before Jøtul and Weber parts, and have always found them helpful.You sure picked your day to drive to Aurillac!I had to drive 3.5km and back on a steep, snow-covered ice-rink to get to the main road this afternoon, and I before I left, I asked Mr Clair to come and get me if I wasn't back on time, and not to forget a tow-rope!
