Supreme Vision - 2-sided contemporary stove

[begreen]

This is an interesting new Canadian EPA stove that should appeal to some folks. It is double-sided for a fire view in front and in back. The interior is stainless and it also has a grille option. I don't know how it will perform as a 24/7 heater, or as a grille, but for folks that want a unique stove it offers an interesting option. The Supreme "Vision" stove is 3.1 cu ft and it has optional enameled side panels or stainless. http://supremem.com/vision.php

That's pretty neat looking. A BKK in the basement and that in the middle of an open living/kitchen area seems like a winning combo to me.

The also sell this as an EPA see-thru fireplace called the Duet.

A combined 7.5 cu ft of wood heat. Yep, that will do it.

we just put this stove on our showroom floor. Its definitely an interesting unit, something like 75% plus of the unit is stainless steel and therefore its fairly light and easy to move around. The unit does have a ashpan, but the secondairy air is fed through that area so there is no easy way to clean it out.

The secondary air comes in from below? Are sure that's not the primary air? The secondary air should be introduced from above typically. And what is hard to clean out?

Supreme units are all SS inside, they don't look all that durable to me. But I've never heard anything bad about them and I know they throw some incredible heat through the glass! It just bothers me that they are so light. I just worry about their durability. ?

This looks like a viable alternative to the several request per year looking for the "two sided wood stove".

Now they need to create an insert version, that would really help with the requests. Is that thing really 3.1 cubic feet firebox? Looks so small.

The specs talk like it is a downdraft design, but it is a top exit stove, most of the downdraft type stoves you can grill on so I am not sure how exactly this is designed, the top exit has me puzzled the more I read about it. The specs say downward air, not sure exactly what that means.

Maybe too small of a market? They have a see-through ZC fireplace: http://www.supremem.com/duet.php

It is a downdraft design.

There had to be a catch...

Hrmm.. duet says it can be installed in a masonry fireplace, that would have to be a big fireplace to fit that unit unless they let you trim the bottom off.

The brochure does say the primary comes from under the grates through the ashpan and the secondary from the baffle.

Great looking stove...Very nice I like

The light weight construction is a double edged sword,heats really fast and becomes almost scorching in it's heat delivery,as opposed to gentle cast iron or soapstone.

It looks like a double-shell stove. If so that would cut down some of the direct radiant heat from the sides. FWIW, some folks prefer or need to have a radiant stove. Although it's capacity is listed at 3.1 cu ft I suspect one would never be able to use all that. It's an E/W loader and when filling one would have to be concerned not just about a split rolling into the front glass, but the rear glass as well. A niche market stove for sure, but Jags is correct. We get calls for double-sided stoves several times every year.

Most of the calls are for people with existing double sided fireplaces that now want to install a double sided insert. The Duet would work for the ones that are willing to reconfigure their existing masonry or ZC install.

I am sure the price tag on this thing can't be cheap.

 

[begreen]

I sent them an email inquiring on price. skinandbones, what will you be selling it for?

 

[begreen]

Suggested retail price is $3600.

Here's a photo that shows more detail.

Ok, so ash "should" fall through that gate but I see that as a clinker factory and blocking up what I think is the Primary air, I think it has secondary air in tubes on the top baffle according to the manual.

One expensive odd stove, but hey each to their own if you want a double sided stove. I wouldn't be using my rounders in that stove, I think I would only burn compressed wood blocks.

If it was me I would just install two 17-vl's back to back and pipe them to a shared 8" liner Joking btw.
