Jøtul PF 980 Cast Iron Pellet Stove — Traditional Heritage, Modern Pellet Convenience
For those who love the look and feel of a traditional cast iron stove but want the ease of pellet heating, the Jøtul PF 980 cast iron pellet stove offers the best of both worlds. Built entirely from cast iron and shaped with the bold, cube-like proportions of Jøtul’s classic wood burning heritage, it carries a weight and presence that most pellet stoves simply cannot replicate. You can see it on display in our showroom and judge the quality and craftsmanship of this stove for yourself before making a decision.
Cast Iron From Top to Bottom
The PF 980 is not a steel stove with cast iron detailing — it is built throughout from cast iron, and that distinction matters. Cast iron retains heat far more effectively than steel, which means the stove continues to radiate warmth long after the output level drops or the burn cycle ends. Because of this heat storage quality, the PF 980 delivers a more even, sustained warmth across the room rather than the peaks and troughs that forced-air heating can produce.
The cube-shaped silhouette gives the stove a strong, grounded character that sits naturally alongside traditional interiors and more contemporary spaces in equal measure. A natural wooden handle adds a Scandinavian touch that softens the overall look, and the matt black finish is clean, timeless, and hardwearing. Furthermore, at 730mm wide and 840mm tall, the PF 980 has genuine physical presence — the kind of stove that anchors a room rather than disappearing into it.
All the Benefits of Pellet Heating, None of the Compromise
Despite its traditional appearance, the PF 980 is a fully modern pellet appliance in every sense. Automatic combustion control manages the air supply and fuel feed continuously, so the stove always runs at its most efficient level without any manual adjustment needed. A 15kg pellet tank gives you a generous reserve between refills, and the integrated ash solution keeps maintenance simple and infrequent.
In terms of output, the PF 980 delivers 8.8kW nominally — enough to heat larger living rooms and open-plan spaces with ease. Its efficiency rating of 92% means you draw an exceptional amount of heat from every kilogram of pellets, and the emission figures are equally impressive. CO emissions sit at just 0.01%, and dust particle emissions come in at 14 mg/Nm³. On top of that, the stove holds an A+ energy label and meets Ecodesign standards comfortably.
Smart Controls Built In as Standard
Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth come as standard on the PF 980, so you can control and monitor it remotely through a smartphone app. Set a heating schedule, adjust the output from the sofa, or warm the house before you arrive home — all from your phone and without any additional hardware. For a stove with this much traditional character, that level of modern convenience feels like a genuinely welcome addition rather than an afterthought.
Flue exit options from both the top and the rear give you good flexibility when planning the installation, and the external air intake makes the PF 980 a practical choice for modern, well-sealed homes.
