I'm looking for a larger vintage model Vermont Castings wood stove for our new house. Is there anywhere I should look first in the southeast?

By vintage, do you mean one of the pre-EPA models like the Vigilant or Defiant? The best source for them would be from a restorer. At the age of 50+ yrs, most are in serious need of a rebuild and some parts are rare.
By vintage I mean pre ownership change when they were still rock solid. Rebuilding and restoring one is not a problem. I'm just shocked at the scarcity in the market. Is FB marketplace or EBay my best bet?
Sure, try craigslist too. It may take driving quite a distance to get a good one.
Moving the thread to the Classics/Vermont Castings forum. Maybe someone there has an oldie in good condition for sale.

They are getting pretty scarce in usable condition. And yes you are looking for pre epa ones. Very few have been what I would call rock solid since then
