Intrepid wood stove
4
Awesome little stove. Bought my first Vermont Castings vigilant call burning stove in 1990. Awesome stove back then. Just moved into a new house with no fireplace. Opted for the Intrepid wood stove it is as well built as my original stove. I have been check my burn times and have it down to a science. I have found that before bed I get a good full ash bed and put in two 4 to 6 inch logs unsplit. I get them burning and close the damper and set the temp up @ 500 degrees. Wake up at 6 am and still have glowing ash with stove surface temp @ of 400 degrees. Not bad for a little parlor stove. Also the coolers are great I got the burgundy. Love my stove! User's recommendation: Any Vermont Castings stove is superior to all others.
