I'm planning on firing a Jotul 507 for the first time since new gaskets & bricks. I'm hoping to set it outside with an elbow & 6 or 7 feet of stove pipe sticking up. Will that be OK? Anything else I should do besides throw in the match?

They are too good a stove to fire.... you should keep it working and feed it fossil fuel...

Freddy:
The manual calls for a minimum 10 ft chimney and six inch diameter pipe, however, if your going to just test fire it, six or seven feet of chimney pipe should work just fine. Post some pics and let us know how it works. Where did you get the bricks from. Can you take some pics of your brick?

Here's a pic of the test run. I lit it this morning a 7AM. Half filled it with nut & set it on "1 1/2". Using my laser thermometer to see temp, it's been 250-275 degrees for the last 6 1/2 hours. Looks like it'll still be going this evening.
The original brick isn't bad....also isn't good, but it'll go another season I'm sure. The brick I put in was to replace the cast iron liners that go above the brick. I notched the bricks with a diamond blade in my skill saw & glued them with furnace cement. Here's a pic of the first row. The stove in the pic also has another row above these. The top ones were trickier to cut to shape, but they fit just fine. I used common firebrick that I got for $2 a brick at the local brickyard. They call them "half bricks". The stove shop gets $5 each!

Looks good Freddy, but why did you set it up at the end of your driveway? I'm concerned your mailman might mistake it for a mail boxFreddy wrote:Here's a pic of the test run. I lit it this morning a 7AM.

TSC has firebrick for $2.00 ea. Our TSC keeps a full pallet of them near the front of the store.

I was thinking that same thing, but ya know, checks always come on Saturday so you can't cash them until Monday, but tomorrow being Monday, only bills come. I'm hoping for the mailman mistake.DVC500 at last wrote:your mailman might mistake it for a mail box
Just after it got going I mentioned to the wife that the frost was starting to melt from the roof.rberq wrote:I noticed the temperature here begin to rise almost immediately
5:07PM The 507 is still at 265*.

7PM. 350* Not much left now, but I'll bet a few more hours of heat. It's getting chilly out. It's nice to stand near it!

Nice pics. I like the way you have the firebrick cut to fit in the stove. Good idea. Love the stove pipe combo you have going on. Probably in two weeks I will have the red Jotul hooked up and ready for a test fire. The wife is getting anxious to have the red one online before it really gets cold. We had another frost last night. It was a hard killing frost. I hope we get snow early again this year.

I have a Jotul 505 that would appear to be identical to the 507 with the addition of a smoke box/heat exchanger on the top. I have been searching for a manual and you mentioned that you have a manual for the 507, is there any way that you could post a link to a pdf?
How do you use the front vents for burning wood?
Such a great stove

That's an interesting looking stove. Extra surface area for radiating heat. Would you post the dimensions? Height / width / depth of the stove, also dimensions of the firebox? Does it have shaker grates for burning coal?othillo wrote:I have a Jotul 505 that would appear to be identical to the 507 with the addition of a smoke box/heat exchanger on the top.

Damn that is a nice stove. I want one of them! I believe I should have one of them in my growing collection. Did they come in any other colors? The lip under the ash door is a nice feature and I like the base. Do you have anymore pics of the stove you can post.
