First time post on the board.
I have a general question on the relative size of two Vermont Castings (VC) stoves, ...The Encore (model 1450) and the Resolute Acclaim (model 2490), both non-cat stoves.
Basically, I'd like to get a mid-size (secondary wood) stove, ...that won't look too large for the (12x12) room it will be in. I've physically seen the Defiant, Encore and Intrepid II, ...but not the Acclaim. Although I like the size of the Defiant I think it will be a bit on the large size, ...and the Intrepid just seems too small. The Encore looked OK, ...but a tad larger I think would be better, ....hence I'm focusing on the Resolute Acclaim.
From the VC brochures I see dimensions as below:
Encore: 27Wx25.75Hx22.75D, ...yet weighs 395 lbs.
Acclaim: 25.5Wx27.5Hx25D, ..yet weighs 425 lbs.
... Just going on the weight alone, ...one would think the Acclaim is a 'larger' stove ...yet the brochure seems to list the 'size' ordre as Defiant - Encore - ResoluteAcclaim - Aspen.
So, ... I guess my question is this, ...if the Resolute Acclaim and Encore were sitting side by side which would look larger?
Thanks,
Kevin
