    Hello first thanks for the ad
    About a yr ago my wife and I purchased an old log cabin in the Catoctin Mountains small community of all cabins called Mountaindale.
    And the very first day we got the keys I was unlocking the door and got notification of a Jotul #4 stove that I had 5F87C71B-E6D9-44A9-800D-21127DEB90BD.png a search up for us quite some time. It’s an early one because it has the 175 mm opening and it has never been burnt it is essentially brand new it still has the original
    door gasket in the hopper! It is 100% including the door screen. I had to share this with somebody this is the first forum I’ve ever belong to

    Nice! I've seen several of those in houses over the years. Always like them. Just be careful of your clearance to combustibles, (floor/walls/couch) they don't have the shielding & reduced clearance of a lot of more modern stoves.

    I'm a member of a dozen probably. Only frequent a few though.

    Hey, my brother had a green combifire 4 many moons ago. The front door tipped out and then slid underneath. Also had a screen you could use to 'watch' the fire. Early to mid-70ies sometime.

    The Easter Island stove! I would buy one for looks only if I had a place for it. Congratulations on finding one mint!
    Stick around, this is a great place to hang out over the winter, and the warmer months too. Glad you found us chaos.
