There are 4 sizes of Vermont castings stoves here. The 4 sizes are
1- Aspen which is the smallest wood stove in the lineup
2- Intrepid II which is still on the small side, I would say not much bigger then the aspen
3- The encore. this stove is the best seller, and is perfect for heating around 2,000 sq ft
4- The Defiant Which is the big dog! This is the Mac daddy of all wood stoves

Funny, I wanted to learn about my Vermont Castings stove that came with my new house and you guys are also in Templeton. I will have to drop in.
I have a Vermont intrepid mk 1 multifuel now 30yrs old still a brilliant stove I replace firebars rope seals fire bricks when required spares still available in UK
Excellent job on your video, very informative! I was leaning toward the Intrepid, I called your shop today for a quote. But now that I see it, I think I'll look at the next size larger. Again, thanks for the video, great job!
No problem thanks for the comment
I bought a Resolute stove (1988) thought the paperwork said 2008 lol, but I can tell you with only two weeks of using this stove, I love it. The burn time is amazing, I am burning hedge (osage orange) and can get 12 hours out of these logs. It heats up quick and even with the damper open the burn time is amazing very impressed so far.
thanks for the feedback
I have a 1975 defiant, absolutely love it
glad to hear it!
I love the top load function! Beautiful stoves
nope - 1 more gasket to need replacing...
Me too!
I've had a Defiant / Encore (before they split the sizes up) since 1996 and love it!! The red enamel looks brand new as I baby it so it's guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Before that, I had an Intrepid (black) in another home, which got me hooked to Vermont Castings.
Can you tell me what size your Defiant Encore is? Closer to the current Encore or closer to the larger Defiant? Any details you can share, I’d appreciate because I’m considering buying a used one.
Hi Gina: A dealer once told me the size of my 1996 Defiant Encore is between the current Encore and Defiant models.
Before buying used, I would have it inspected by a qualified wood stove technician, preferably one familiar with Vermont Castings products. Also the catalytic converter is in good shape. Replacements run $300 -$400 installed. I am still using the original. Some people take great care of their stoves, others do not and run them way too hot. All I can tell you is mine has been basically problem free for the last 34 years. I only usually burn on the weekends for additional heat and ambiance. Good luck!
I watched you replace a door gasket. Could you show how to replace all the gaskets? I have an Encore and this will be our 12th year but last year was awful b/c the stove wouldn't seal well enough.
It is important to get the size of stove correct, too big and it turns your home into a Swedish sauna and too small for your needs and you’ll never get the cosy warmth and comfort. I’m looking in from England - I love the quality of American manufacturing, if only the Americans know the power of Made in the USA has in the world.
thank you for the feedback!
Just learning. Thank you for this info.
how does it heat such a large area . i dont know anything about wood heaters . do we need some heat exhangers and duct systems to heat different rooms
How do these compare in heating capacity compared to soapstone? Thank you.
Helpful video
My 1980 Vigilant is still in use every winter. Best $700 I ever spent
+John Hiram Thats why these are the best selling stove brand we have!
We got ours for $200, best money ever spent
I have to move my Hearthstone soapstone wood stove. Weighs a friggin' ton. Was thinking about using bottle jacks in a sideways position to move it enough so I can clean the breech in the back.
yeah moving stoves is no fun!
do they all have brick linings? don't like the brick linings...do you have any that are top loading and not brick lined?
I've had the Vermont Castings Defiant model for 20 years. I'm looking to swap that out for a smaller unit. Is there a trade in or exchange being offered anywhere? It also seems difficult to get re-conditioning kits for them. I wanted to replace all of the gaskets and the glass front has thin ribbon-like gasket material that I can't find anywhere. Ideas on that? Thanks so much.
yeah its hard to come by. We cant resell old ones so that is why you may be finding an issue there. they need to be current 2020 models in order for us to sell them without getting fined
Nice stoves. Ridicolously priced.
I have the red one 😊❤️🇺🇸❄️☃️
cool
Where I could buy a Vermont stove?
Bought my Resolute Acclaim in 2013 and installed it myself and absolutely would not part with it unless I Had to move because that damn thing weighs a ton !
you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can give me
@Weston Zayd instablaster :)
@Colson Mark Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Colson Mark it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Weston Zayd you are welcome xD
Wish I shopped for one of these before I bought my
Jotul.
Why is that? Just curious?
thanks for the feedback
So if I have an 864 sq foot main floor. No second floor to heat what do you think my best option would be?
The wood stove would be the secondary heat source but probably used daily in central mn
you could go with the smallest, the Aspen, depends on what climate and how well insulated home is. For good measure you could do the Intrepid II as well.
Whats the Burn time on the Mac Daddy ?
8-10 hours depending on type of wood, etc.
I'm interested in these stoves for a loosely insulated old house, 800 square feet. Upper Peninsula, would it be best to fire a smaller stove harder such as the intrepid, or a larger stove slower. I have a lined brick two story chimney with enough draft to draw soot up. Thanks in advance.
hmm great question, I would say get the bigger stove
l'll take the mac daddy
Very good to hear the pros and cons. Your channel really helps
I can make a fire colorful like a rainbow. Are you interested?
no
Can I use the encore in an 1200 sq ft home?
yes the Encore would be plenty for that space
Folks need to consider how cold it gets where they live and how reliant you will be for heat from your stove. I use wood (soap stone rated for 1,600 sq ft) yet my house is 1,100 sq ft. When it’s around 0 degrees out I’m lucky to get 7 hour burn time. However if it’s 20’s to upper 30’s I may get 9 hours (burning red and sugar maple, ash, and some white birch. Point is, get a stove larger than the sq ft of your home if you are relying on it as a primary heat source. Additionally you need to consider how well your home is insulated.
thanks for the tip
Thank you for the useful information.
Can you cook on the flat tops?
it is not technically designed for that, but it wouldn't be out of the question.
Thanks.
I want a wood stove to warm my house but also be able to cook a pot of soup or heat a kettle of water on top witch is the smallest I could get away with that on?
intrepid
What's the difference between the defiant/ encore and just defiant ??

Is a Vermont castings Scandia bigger than a vigilant?
Here is our most updated video on this : ua-cam.com/video/wOWXFqtUsvg/v-deo.html
@@embersliving I realized Scandia is a knock off Vermont castings, not a model that was produced. That's what I get for going off a craigslist ad....🤦🏻♂️ thanks for your time!
Get this guy a REAL shirt to wear.
haha
Can you cook on these?
technically they are hot enough to cook on yes
Want red finish in wood pellet stove
hmm... I dont know of any that are pellet
Bisa di kirim ke indonesia ga tolong di coment...
thanks
I’d love to own a wood stove because they look so retro cool and cook on. But it’s totally impractical since I live in a tropical country. You want to cool your home with fans or air conditioning not heat your home.
There was no picture of the 1600 sf stove; if you'd stop you knowing, you could stay focused o nwhat you're doing.
oh so sorry
But with oven
good idea
one take
ha
I like umm
yes
Can't get authorized dealers in my area to call me back
If you're in the USA call us
Video sucks when Customers don't get to see the inside views of stove & more details on How hot suface temps are. We hate new stoves there nothing but a huge waste of heat & money. Not to sure about these models but Vermont makes most products good
Sounds like a cry baby.
When someone is trying to sell something and will not say how much. I turn and walk away.
well this video is 3 years old, which is why I dont state price in the video. If I had, whatever you heard would be totally inaccurate by the time you watch this video. That is why we include website links which is what is always up to date
I'm buying one this fall. Can't afford Bidens energy!
haha smart. We have a 2021 top 5 stoves video be sure to check it out
Yea one take but instead of telling people what the name of the large stove you said it's the mac daddy. Somehow I don't think that's the name. Very professional??? NOT!
haha its the defiant
Massive eyeroll for this comment. Are you kidding me?
All of these are way overpriced.
So why are you watching? Just so you can bitch about the price?
Could he dress more professionally? But good info.
Lose the hat, t-shirt and weight. Good voice and diction.
Susan Jenkins Habeler it's Vermont. Take your fashion some place else
If you do.not heat with wood 100 percent or if you do not harvest your wood your self. You have no place being critical. Until you have been in the woods, working to heat your home... You have no idea.
@@88keys6 I have an idea... having lived in New Hampshire, heated 100%, harvested myself, grandfather owned tree farm in Maine. I know all about it and if I'm doing a video to present my wares I'm going to show up trying to look my best. Nothing wrong in life trying to look your best.
Why? There is no room for your type of Professionalism in Vermont for it damn sure doesn't build a better wood stove. His Professionalism does.
@@susanjenkinshabeler4489 Ouch!
Made in the USA= overpriced and made as cheap as possible.
ok
