When I installed the new gaskets, I thought it would be a good idea to use the self adhesive flat rope on the glass facing inside the stove. A bit of advice for anyone trying to restore one of these, I made a mistake that I'd like to share with you all. The stove has been running for a week and it's working great. Thanks in advance for any advice that may end up my way. I'd really like to buy a new unit, but the pocketbook isn't ready for that yet. Are they worth anything on the used market? Or should this thing find a new home at the local landfill. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with these stoves, so I'm wondering if they are any good and if the unit is even worth spending the time and money to get it operational. I'm handy enough, that I could take a bit of sandpaper to the unit, knock off the rust, take some high temp paint to it, replace the glass, and call it a weekend with a cold brew and a warm fire. I found replacement glass on woodmanspartsplus for about $100 bucks. Getting to the point, I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thing. The unit has surface rust in various locations and the glass is broken. I am assuming the later marking is a date of manufacture. I recently purchased a home that had an old Jotul Fireplace Stove 3 with the following markings (UL 737 NBK) and (RPT 11.01.84). This is my first post on the forums, so apologies in advance if I muck up the forum etiquette.
