    I haven't met an ashcan system yet that was worth the hassle. Nice looking stove, though.

    Vermont Castings up for sale

    I disagree. There are many companies out there that buy companies, turn them around, or stabilize them, and then sell them. This seems to be what...

    Replacement for VC Encore Cat ?

    Ignore BTU ratings. Focus on firebox size. The progress is about twice the weight of the Encore. Fireview would put off about the same amount of...

    If money was no object...

    No matter how much money you had, the power would still go out. Generators can die. So, yeah, I'd still have a stove or three. I'd just use a chit...

    Looking for advice

    I would stick with a 2 - 2.5 cu ft firebox stove. Log cabins aren't known to be the most efficient homes in terms of insulation. Your average temps...

    99% of the time a "run away" is not actually a "run away" and it is an inexperienced and overly cautious owner that is unfamiliar with how the...

    Looking for advice

    As the owner of 4 top loading stove, a side loading stove, and a front loading stove, I say you shouldn't limit your choices to top loading stoves.

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    It could also be VC's downdraft design. Because I have been seeing more and more posts, both current and past, that have complained about smoke...

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    No, but the inability to run them consistently from chimney to chimney seems to be an issue which could lead to creosote build up. I had smoke...

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    Already looked at the damper. It closes properly. I think it is the nature of the downdraft beast.

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    I enjoy the burn times of the Defiant more than the 30. The temps stay higher, longer, throughout the course of the burn than it does on the 30....

    Buck Stove on CL. Can anyone ID the model. Looks good.

    It could be the 18, 81, or 94. All are non-cat stoves. All have the bay window design.

    I am a Dumbass!

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    I'm already burning it at 700 degrees. How much hotter do you want me to get it? The wood is 2-3 years old cut stacked and split. The chimney...

    The Problem with VC Stoves

    That isn't entirely correct. 1. The 0028 Encore was never offered with a 6" round flue and only came in the 8" oval. 2. Neither, the Encore or the...
