Name that stove

[LONDONDERRY]

Can anyone tell me what Vermont casting stove this might be? I've emailed the seller, but have not heard back.

This looks like the WINTER WARM Cast Iron Catalytic Large Insert you can get more info on it here

Good luck!

Sorry PS3696, better luck next time


That's the original VC Fireplace Insert. As has been said a whole bunch of times, great looks, but not much on heat.

So its not consider a good stove because it doesn't throw out a lot of heat?

In short, yes!
If it burns wood but does not produce a lot of heat, that is usually not what most folks are looking for. Also, parts might be hard (or impossible) to get for this unit.

It was a decent coal burner - with conversion kit!

Thanks for the tip. With all the inserts out there, perhaps I should just engineer/ design and fabricate my own, considering my professional background.
Thanks again
