Love the video's just subscribed. I ended up buying an old Vermont castings in great condition for $100. Deep in Maine so not exactly your local area lol
On the soapstone when you say at night you choke it down all the way….. are you closing the vent all the way or leaving that open just a crack. I have that same stove but have always left it open just a crack.
We have had 3 VC Encores and the Defiant for serious heating over decades. I have done complete maintenance on them, rebuilt and repaired many parts, and replaced catalyts when needed.The original real Vermont Castings Encores from the 80's to the 90's were well made, high quality, excellent customer service at the 'plant' and with dealers. With multiple owner groups and the "new and improved" stoves it chamged. 4 years ago we tried ( "tried" ) 2 Encore Flexburn models. They both were uncontrollable ( primary air "flap" ), dangerous, so that we had to throw burning logs out to the snow. The dealer was unable to fix it. . Both were returned with full refund. The new VC owners did not want to be bothered. If your customers want a pretty stove for entertainment and only intermittent viewing, the VC stoves may, may work. These are not the well done VC products.
Looking good brother. You've lost some weight. I went the opposite direction this year 😂. Just curious where the Green Mountain series would end up in this comparison. Since it is a kind of hybrid of both soapstone and cast iron. Very cool video. Love it. Thank you so much for doing it.

Dang what a steal
A stove with the option to cook on it or heat a kettle would be what I would look for.
We cooked a steak on that red VC you liked!
Steel firebox with cast iron clad surround is another option
That is a great suggestion! Thanks for the input .

That is correct
Are there any stoves that have a thermostat controlled damper like the blaze king does?
Do you sell the wood stoves that allow you to cook inside & on top? I would love to see a video of that.
We have one coming up!
@@embersliving Looking forward to it. 😊

It's not oxygen, it's air. Air is approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen.
Nice
