Vermont Castings Encore Flexburn Overview
I find when I wake up early and press power button it turns on fine. But when I go to turn it off, pressing same button- nothing happens!! Super annoying 😩
Excellent video Matt.
The most important part, how to re sync will be nice but is missing
Would love to hear what you are saying. My volume is turned all the way up and it sounds like a toddler mumbling into a pillow.
THANKS
Very helpful. I had to turn off the toggle button for remote to work on my old majestc vermont remote. Someone added that to the comments here. Appreciate ya! Thank you
Glad it helped
Hello, How to remove the refravtory fire back
-Open the damper -Remove the base of the damper handle -Remove the two bolts in the damper assembly top left and right (above fireback). -Lower at an angle to get assembly out with damper rod attached. Fireback can now be removed.
I hate the beeping. Best tips to avoid the dreaded beep?
Unfortunately, I don't think the beeps can be shutoff. You could run the unit on thermostatic mode then it will cycle on/off without beeping. You may be able to operate the unit manually without remote as well(depending on unit).
I' ve had issues with the combustor sloughing or collapsing in the direction of the airflow, primarily in the center 2 portions, it is not being over, fired. Never has been. Does anyone else have this issue?
Were you sleepy the day you filmed this 😂
How do you change it to degrees Celsius?
Why does my thermostat not work?
I didn't know that
When I turn the remote on it seem that the default setting for the flame is at its highest level. Is there any way I can adjust that so that the flame comes on at a medium level without having to adjust the flame every time I turn the remote on?
negative it doesn't appear to be editable.
Thanks for this absolutely useless tutorial
Idk this tutorial helped me. What else could you need?
Helped a lot!
How long should I season my wood? How hot should I burn my stove with the temperature gauge on the pipe? What is the preferred kind of wood to burn?
Hi there just a tip , if you want to change temperature unit from Fahrenheit to Celsius press the ON and OFF buttons at the sametime 👍
How do you lower the temperature?
Bought this insert in May of 2022. Very cold air comes out the bottom of the unit (where the grate is) when not being used. Not the efficient upgrade to our fireplace that I hoped for and asked for. Always seems to let too much air in, can't drop to a slow burn. Again, not the efficiency I wanted. I would not buy it again.
I've had an Intrepid II for over 30 years and it's been a good stove but just recently, the damper for the catalytic converter started slipping so I'll have to tear into it to see what's going on. Last year, I replaced the catalyst with a metal one instead of the old ceramic design as well as door and griddle gaskets. I hope that it will be easy to fix because it really heats my bedroom on cold Winter nights.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS INSERT. I own one of these and it is absolute garbage. I have heated with wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces my entire life... This is the worst unit I have ever used or owned. Vermont castings is absolute garbage now that they have been sold, they used to be top of the line, they still charge a premium, and it is absolute shit. There is no air control (damper) so the fire is constantly choking itself out when you want to run it on high. And you can't throttle it back to slow burn at night. In addition to that the catalytic converter or reburn or whatever they want to call it smokes out your entire house when you start cold. The dealers know this but they are in denial, the jackass I bought it from with try to tell me I didn't know how to start a fire. Please take my words of advice and do not buy this
I've been reading about that! I have a Napoleon and an Osburn, looking at this one used on Marketplace. I'm all about the adjustable air damper, as my wood isn't always "ideal".
@@Hubjeep I can not stress enough that you should not buy this unit. Absolute garbage. And as other posters mentioned...since you can't close the flue, when it is not in use cold air just streams in from the chimney. Even with ideal full kiln dried wood this unit does not perform well Complete garbage. Vermont castings is a junk company now. Very sad, they used to be the industry standard for quality
I was just looking at one because I grew up in VT and they had nothing but quality. Now live in TX and have a fireplace that will eat you out of house and home, VERY hungry! My health isn't what it was and there is no way my wife will be able to feed the beast. Insert is a must.@@willclark4954
@willclark4954 wich one would you recommend?
Napoleon
Thank You for posting!!
How do you put it in manual mode?
Hi, nice video. Im looking at possibly buying this Rockport. Do you still recommend? The main area i want to heat is only about 750sq ft. I want to be sweated out! How long will a full load burn on low?
Jotul F3CB or VC Resolute?
Two VC Encore Flexburns were returned and refunded two years ago. Both were uncontrollable with overfires.. We had 3 VC 2550 pre Flexburns for many years with NO problems for 24/7 heating. They are pretty wood stoves that are fine for entertainment and intermittent burns. I have rebuilt 2 VC 2550 stoves over many years. It is a shame that the new owners cannot make and back what was once a reliable product manufactured and designed by the original Randolph, Vermont owners.
Are you sure the ash assembly wasn't too loose? If there's any leak it will allow air to create a forge like effect and overfire.
Is it possible to change the units from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
You state in the video this stove is not able to vent out the rear, but the Resolute Acclaim manual has instructions on how to reverse the flue collar. Which is correct? I'm about to purchase a used Acclaim and will need to verify this before I purchase ... thanks!
Really good I sincerely appreciate it I bought a fancy one for $5000. It has been just fantastic but every time I write down the procedures like you have shown us I don’t understand my paperwork my own notes. This is so wonderful I’m saving it to my notes thank you thank you thank you talk so well and you’re slow. Not slow mentally but slow in your words thank you
Hi there & thanks for your video! Question: I couldn't get the temperature to go down? Then discovered this: keep pushing the set button until it maxes out and resets to 43°, then keep going up to desired temp. If you go over, rotate around again. I appreciate ya.
Any trouble shooting for the remote. When we push “on” it goes from displaying the F to C value. When we push “off” same thing as well as for mode and set. It worked fine up until a month ago. We have tried to reset it with the transmitter, but it’s not the transmitter, it’s the remote. We have replaced batteries, etc. any idea how to reset the whole remote?
We have a pellet stove with a transmitter model 1001-A. Seller didn’t leave us the remote. Will the 1001- TH work with this transmitter? I really would like a remote with a thermostat. Thank you for your advice.
The manual, in addition to detailing replacement of gaskets, also mentions resealing seams with cement. What seams are they talking about? I’m sure only an authorized dealer/ service center will know as it says to take it to one for this. The stove I bought used has very little use and cleaned up nicely but I has globs of cement where I’m certain there should be none and it certainly wasn’t applied by a professional.
Press the Temp button and the 0 button together to switch between C and F. The remote must be turned off to do this (i.e. not lit up).
DO YOU PULL THE AIR CONTROL LEVER IN OR OUT. MANUAL SAYS IN AND YOU SHOW OUT. WHICH IS CORRECT AND COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IT DOES. I CANT FIND INFORMATION ANYWHERE
Just got this stove and the dealer said push forward and was wondering the same when I saw this review. (Manual says "push back" which is terrible language. should be push forward or pull back)
There is no "air control" on this insert. I own one and it is absolute garbage. This video is incorrect. The to thing that looks like a damper he refers to at 2:35 gets pushed in when you load a log and is on a timer. The "stove knows best" in regards to sir control...but it doesn't. This thing is junk. Do not purchase
great lookin, looks easy to clean too with the split baffle boards
It is a breeze to clean!
Thank God I found this lol just bought a house with a unit in it with this remote and was trying to understand how it worked. Previous owner didn't leave any instructions
As the temperature goes below the set temp., at what temperature will the stove lite? Is the differential 2 degrees, and can it be changed?
Vermont Casting, not buying your cheezy stoves again. And answer your damn phone.
@@jacobspranger1267 ??
Great overview, but yes, you seem extremely relaxed vocally.
Thank you very much. Very informative.
Thank you Sharon!
Alas, discontinued. You'll have to find one (if you want one) on Craig's list or equivalent. Pity.
They're still available for sale in the UK
Ah ha! Now we get a view and demonstration of what it means to have two different methods of heating with these stoves; with or without the catalyst. Had to search long and hard to get a video this good on the two methods and now I understand why I'll probably want a Flex Burn model stove. Thanks!
Thanks Mic!
can't hear u
While a good video, the narrator seems a bit bored of it all. =\ Thanks for the stove tour.
Your droning dialog put me to sleep so I had to go back and rewind the video 3 times!
Very nice
I hate this stove !!!, Passed 2 years I have had nothing but trouble with this thing staying lite, I have new batteries, it won't light when power goes off, the thing sits there and beeps, when it's burning the flame dies down, some times it goes out and then pops back on, it's not the gas pressure, had it checked, other gas appliances work fine, can't trust this thing, To have the dealer come work on it I might as well buy a new stove. I have a friend with the same stove and he wishes he never bought it...I do not recommend this stove for anyone, not even my worst enemy...nothing but junk !!!!!
I acquired one of these, wondering if you could recommend any videos that go into operating detail and advice about using the stove?
I would love to hear. I just bought a home with one of these and I’m trying to learn how to use it correctly and efficiently. I was told that I can save a lot of money using it vs my heat and I’m all for it. Plz do
@@oliviah1638 I dont have too much info on it, but I know that one trick is building up a nice bed of coals by having good air flow in the beginning, to get the steel of the stove hot enough so that when you add a few more logs it burns and doesnt smoke, then you can close down the damper and let it burn slower. Definitely good to get it really hot first, and then overnight you will want to add a couple of logs on the hot embers, then let those get good and hot before shutting down the stove for the night, you should still have embers in the morning with which to start the fire back up with fresh wood.
I’ve owned this stove for 16yrs or so. The catalytic version with refectory in the back. Great little stove. Have pushed 60 cord thru it. After 500-550 degrees, you can close the damper and turn down the lower controls to slow things down some. For longer burns, just stack up the top with oak or something, perhaps something that is not bone dry. If you have a good ash bed in the tray, you’ll more than likely have coals to work with in the morning, if looking for a continuous burn.
