Hey guys,
originally from PA and now living in Northern VT after getting out of the USMC. Stumbled upon a decent acreage of property with hopefully softwood,poplar, maple, beech, birch, elm, and ash making up the 90 acres...... I read up as much as i could before replacing our 1973 VC Intrepid and we did decide a brand new VC Encore with the catalyst...... good and bad we are pretty happy with it... the wife loves the look and im happy with the efficiency upgrade to this stove. This forum helped me with the stove type, thermometer for the catalyst, and kept me going to hopefully stay atleast 1.5 years ahead with the wood. I would love any advice anyone can give me with future burning, cutting, and prepping for future years.
