Every Vermont Castings stove is built from solid cast iron, the same material used since 1975. It holds heat long after the fire dies down, radiating warmth for hours. Built to last generations, not years.
Burns efficiently with or without a catalyst. With the catalyst engaged, achieves up to 15% higher efficiency on low burns. More heat, less wood, cleaner burn.
Built-in thermostat requires no electricity, automatically adjusts airflow to maintain your desired heat output. Set it and forget it. Longer, more even heat from every load.
Load wood from the top for longer burns and less mess. Utilizes the entire firebox so you can load right to the top. Plus the exclusive swing-out ash pan lets you remove ashes even when the stove is hot.
All Vermont Castings stoves meet strict EPA emission standards, some of the lowest particulate emissions of any wood stove on the market. Clean burning, environmentally responsible heating.
Available in four stunning enamel finishes, Bordeaux, Majolica Brown, Twilight, and classic Cast Iron Black. Each finish is furniture-quality, baked on for lasting durability and rich color that becomes the centerpiece of any room.
Why We Love the Vermont Castings Defiant Wood Stove
This is the Vermont Castings wood-burning stove that started it all. The flagship model. 56,000 BTU can warm up to 2,800 square feet, making the Vermont Castings Defiant Wood Stove a perfect pick for just about any large home.
The 3.2 cubic foot firebox can be loaded with logs up to 20 inches, keeping the flame burning for as long as 14 hours without any maintenance on your end. This catalytic wood stove runs at an impressive 78% HHV efficiency, so you’re getting incredible value out of every log you burn.
Choose from Classic Back or enamel finishes. Either way, you’re getting over 500 pounds of solid cast iron, carefully crafted to stand the test of time. Backed by the same limited lifetime warranty on castings as the rest of the Vermont Castings lineup.
Here at Royal Fire Pits, you’ll get the lowest price online - guaranteed. We also cover the sales tax and shipping charges, helping you secure the best deal possible. With exceptional customer service every step of the way, what more could you ask for?

Frequently asked questions
What are Vermont Castings wood-burning stoves made from?
Full cast-iron. Not plate steel with a cast-iron door bolted on. Solid all the way through. That’s why this beast breaks the scale at 518 pounds. Enamel finishes like Bordeaux and Majolica Brown are baked onto the casting at the factory for a furniture-grade look that immediately changes the ambiance in your home.
How does Vermont Castings compare to other brands?
This is one of the most well-respected wood-burning stove manufacturers we carry. More than 50 years of experience in what they do.
What’s the difference between the Vermont Castings Defiant and other models?
The Vermont Castings Defiant wood stove is the biggest in the lineup, putting out 56,000 BTU from a 3.2 cu. ft. firebox. The Encore model is one step down (48,000 BTU). The Intrepid and Dauntless are even smaller. This is the stove you go with when you want to heat your entire home.
How long does the Defiant burn on a full load?
Up to 14 hours in catalytic mode with a full firebox of seasoned hardwood. You can load it before bed and wake up to a warm house with coals still going.
What size flue does the Defiant need?
The stove ships with a reversible collar for top or rear exit - you just need an 8-inch oval flue collar. Your installation can go either direction depending on your chimney setup.

Great Company to do business with.
I found out about Royal Fire Pits when I googled where to buy the Orion. I was looking for Labor Day discounts. Another company replied too late. You were prompt and I was ready, so I went with your company. Jordan was great to work with. We’ll post a picture in a few days. Thank you, Karen and Ben Lomeli

This beautiful Bordeaux Encore
This beautiful Bordeaux Encore wood burning stove was put in place yesterday with the help of a few friends. Really appreciate your help and efficiency in streamlining this order. Royal Fire Pits is fortunate to have Jordan as a representative. Your knowledge and competence about the Vermont Castings product was evident and appreciated. Thank you again for your assistance and followup. We Love it.

Amazing process, amazing finished product!
We all love the convenience of online ordering, but we also miss the personal touch of being able to call someone. Can’t thank you enough for the time spent on the phone, and appreciate how easy it was to place the order and have everything shipped. I love the output of the burner, and the black fire Glass really finished it off perfectly.
Jim & Mary
Terrific company & product
Royal Fire Pits was great to work with. The stove arrived in good order after a cross country trip. I was impressed with the quality of the cast iron and how well everything fit together. We are having a "break in" fire tonight and will shift into "catalytic mode" tomorrow. Jordon was a guiding light throughout. Many Thanks!!
