    Vermont Castings defiant encore model?

    Hello, I have a defiant encore in the home we purchased about a year ago. I have not been able to find the manual for it and the back has a heat shield so I can't see the plate on it. Is there another way to identify which model I have? Thanks!

    Help Identifying Stove

    I see it says "vermont castings" on the side. I've not been able to find any pictures that looks quite like it. Any help identifying the model and verifying it is indeed a wood stove (rather than gas) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for any help!

    Vermont Castings Resolute 1979 bottom heat shield

    I'm looking for a bottom heat shield for a Vermont Castings Resolute 1979. I believe the part number is 140-2229. This part is no longer made by Vermont Castings from what I understand so I'm poking around looking for a re-seller who may be ready to part with one.

    I'm doing my first full replacement of gaskets on a Vermont Castings Intrepid II I bought used some years ago. I've replaced the door gasket before but this is my first for griddle and glass gaskets. The strange thing is the glass gasket. What is in there now appears to be non-standard, but at...

    VC Defiant thermostat issues

    Recently, I purchased an old VC Defiant II parlor stove (wood stove). Apparently, someone had to install a new thermostat spring and put it on backwards - so when it heats up it opens the air flap - thus increasing the heat - thus opening the air flap more, etc. How do I remove the spring and...

    Older Defiant

    I purchased a second hand Defiant, front and side load. I don't see an obvious place to add fire brick. The standard brick looks too large to fit anywhere. What am I missing, where does the fire brick go? Someone at a local stove shop said I don't need any? Help..... thanks in advance. Gary
