    VT Encore 2550 stove Thermostat lever

    I have a VT Encore 2550 stove. During the summer, a child twisted the thermostat handle, located on the right side of the stove, until it was upside down.

    Defiant encore model number?

    Vermont Castings Oval to Round Elbow?

    We just bought a used 1986 Vermont Castings Defiant Encore but now are wondering if we made a bad purchase based on how the pipe lines up, or rather, won't line up. Do they make oval to round elbows? We need a pipe that takes it from 10 1/2" wide oval to 8" round. Is this possible? We paid...
