Update on the two VC Encore

[greenmtnman]

Today I came home with one of the stoves as I will go back n pick up the other.
The 1st stove was a Defiant Encore. looks as in great shape needs a new CatC. also what ever the stuff is called near it. And new gaskets I’m sure.
The other stove is a Vigilant NC also looks in good shape.
So now I have 2 VC to work on and garrison in the shed all that needs is a cleaning/ paint and using a WESO as of now!

Another project that will keep me going.
Thanks for all that replied and for your advice.

No such thing as a Vigilant NC - there is a Vigilant - older (original model) and there are other models that were designed for coal - they have an ashpan and shaker grates that riddle front to back.

Yes, but people who are listing the older VC stoves for sale are incorrectly listing them as Non-Cat, which, while technically correct (b/c there is no cat), it is misleading to those not thoroughly schooled in old school VC stoves.
