One of the top rated wood stoves on the market, the Jotul F3CB wood stove is compact and powerful. Rated for use in an alcove, this cast iron model also comes with features that make it ideal for installation within your existing hearth. Create a comfortable and efficient living space in your home again.
Hearth Installation
Recessed right into the open fireplace, this non catalytic wood burning stove will be vented in a clean and safe manner up the chimney. The F3CB model heats a living area up to 1,300 square feet and boasts open door viewing for a truly cozy experience. This model’s spring loaded door system operates easily and reliably. Air washed glass makes gazing at the flames just as easy and cuts down on maintenance – one of the reasons you stopped using your traditional hearth in the first place.
The F3CB model also has a low venting height for versatile installation configurations. An optional short leg kit allows this unit to fit well even into more compact fireplace designs. Jotul’s designers thought of nearly everything on this smaller sized wood stove model, including built in heat shields on the bottom and rear of the F3CB that create amazing clearances when this unit is installed with a double walled chimney connection.
Why Use a Wood Stove to Replace a Fireplace?
The benefits of using a wood stove in an area built for a fireplace are subtle. You will still get to enjoy the look and atmosphere of your fireplace without the mess that the older style of burning created. Ashes and smoke tended to fill the house instead of being vented efficiently out the chimney, as it would be with the Jotul F3CB model.
Also, with the option to choose one of four colored finishes like traditional Matte Black, beautiful Ivory enamel, stunning Blue/Black or striking Jotul Iron enamel, you can enjoy a hearth more customized and coordinated with your décor.
A wood stove is only partially recessed into the existing hearth, allowing you plenty of space on the stove top for a kettle or other hearth accessories. And the space around your wood stove is ideal for storing small amounts of logs (assuming you have the proper clearance room between the stove and any combustibles), ash buckets and other fireplace tools.
The very best reason to choose the Jotul F3CB wood stove to upgrade your existing fireplace is the efficiency level. Jotul builds with the latest technology in mind and the F3CB model is designed to comfortably warm your living space while burning clean and efficient. Up to seven hours of burn time can be expected with low emissions and properly radiated heat, making this compact model an affordable, efficient and ideal choice for a hearth upgrade.
