If I have to, I'd rather get a new top cast than spend

This guy heats my 1500Sq ft house with no problem.

Brazing will work fine.


Thanx, I'll ask around and find someone who knows what's up with doing this
correctly. I should be able to find someone in Atlanta that knows how to do
this right.. I've done lots of brazing/welding in the past but never on
cast iron, I'm not going to practice on this!


I have the same model Jotul and I can vouch for how good a stove it is.
Keep in mind that while Jotul has not made that model for quite a while
the Norwegians/Scandanavians were way ahead of the US in the woodstove
technology curve. In other words, that model stove is still a decently
efficient stove for today. I particularly like the model because I can
put some wood in at night and it is still cranking out the heat when I
wake up 8 hours later. US woodstove from that era were nowhere near that.
