I just pocked up a very nice condition Vermont Castings Resolute from the 1980s. Solid cast iron through and through. Came with side retainer grates/warming shelves, everything in good working order, lots of stove tools, and pipe, $500. While it's a traditional stove without secondary burn or catalytic burner they're well built stoves rated for 1600sqft. It's a shame the new VC build quality has declined so much since the buyout. Can't wait to have my chimney installed so i can start heating. Grea up hauling and splitting wood.
I love the older stoves, I just couldn't find one in my area so I went new. Never much cared for the catalytic feature, seems just too finicky and I grew up with old stoves that never had that feature. Good wood and a good bed of coals and you're good.
Processing wood is my favorite part of the whole process, something about it is just relaxing.
If your inlet air to the stove is not connected to outside air, you'll feel a draft from your windows. If you connected your air source to the outside you won't. By connecting the fresh air outside you create a positive pressure keeping cold air outside.
Thank you for the video, I have the same stove but when I load it front the top I get smoke coming out the top. I am thinking I need the direct vent for the make up air
It helps to crack it for a second before opening it. I generally can load it one handed from the top with my other hand holding it open, I do sometimes get a little smoke inside the house, but its not enough for me to really be concerned, but cracking it before opening it helps a bit
Thanks for your video. I’m considering a Dauntless. I have a small cabin w some weird dimensions. 1st floor is 500 square feet with living room having 13 foot high ceilings. There are 2 small bedrooms upstairs , each 100 sq ft. Any thoughts on how this stove might fair in a space like that?
