Hello, I currently have a heartwood wood stove and I am looking to upgrade to a VC resolute(not sure of the year 1979ish?) is it worth upgrading? The seller wants $100, we use the stove to supplement our propane furnace and to maintain heat in our back room. Also to heat during power outages in the winter on Manitoulin island.
thanks for any advice or help!

That's a Resolute III (two doors) so dates it from about 1984-1988. Likely want to get some views of the inside (fireback).

Thanks, I ended up missing out on the Resolute; the logistics were tricky it was out on an island and was out of town. That said I found a nice little 1982 VC Intrepid.. what are the specs for this stove, how big of a space will it heat? It does look small compare to our big brown Heartwood.. .which would be the better choice?

Thanks
Gibs
