We’re sorry to hear that you’re not satisfied with your Vermont Castings Dauntless wood stove. Wood stoves can sometimes emit an odor during the first few uses as they burn off residual manufacturing oils and coatings—this is completely normal and temporary.
Regarding the ash and handles, Vermont Castings designs their stoves for durability and efficiency, but we understand that individual experiences may vary. If you’re having specific issues, we’d be happy to assist you in troubleshooting or reaching out to the manufacturer for support. Please feel free to contact us—we’re here to help!
