    Vermont Castings Encore Air Control

    I have a new VC Encore. I had a Jotul F3 for many years, and now I'm finding operating the Encore is a bit more complicated than the Jotul. I've now figured out how to get it going and then engage the catalytic converter. I do like the slow burn and it's generating way more heat than the Jotul...

    Newbie Pellet Stove Owner

    Hi: I recently installed an Ashley 5660 pellet stove with 55 LB Hopper. Overall I guess I'm happy with the stove, it throws out heat on high setting and heats my entire mobile home of about 1000sf. On the lowest setting it still does an OK job out back and a great job in the main areas...

    Jotul Portland: Standing or Intermittent (Thermostat-driven) Pilot???

    Hello, I just purchased (last night) a Jotul Portland (GF 500) for a sunroom off our house, which has no other source of heat. I'm used to woodburning stoves, but because this is a room used all the time, I decided in favor of a gas stove in order to make it much easier to keep heated on a...

    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...
