Vermont Castings - Cast Iron - Low to Medium Quality.
Failure notice about
Vermont Castings, Jotul, Hearthstone and Waterford stoves:
All new cast iron stoves have been pulled from this site as of August
15th, 2012.
Failure of their fragile non metal seams are leading not only to
overheating and short burn times,
but to the complete failure of the flash combustion system. Without
smoke combustion,
there is only half the performance promised on the brochure. This is a permanent
loss,
as the cost to ship, repair, and re-install exceeds the cost of the
stove, and is not covered
under the warranty!
Please go to the section on cast iron at StoveGuide.com
for more info and a video showing
the new flash combustion system and other benefits. What was considered
good in the past,
is rarely what is good today. Also, folks who praise a stove based on
past truths, only do so
because they are unaware of the huge advances in todays quality wood
burning stoves that
perform as promised for more than its' first over-fire.
