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.

Frequently asked questions
Who makes Encore wood stoves?
Vermont Castings, an American manufacturer that's been building cast iron stoves since 1975.
Are Vermont Castings wood stoves good?
This is one of the industry’s most sought-after wood-burning stove manufacturers for a reason. Full cast iron construction, limited lifetime warranty on castings, and EPA-certified efficiency across the entire lineup.
How long do Vermont Castings wood stoves last?
Decades with proper maintenance. Cast iron doesn't warp or burn through the way plate steel can over time. It’s why the Vermont Castings Encore wood stove - like all models from this well-regarded manufacturer - is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Which Vermont Castings wood stove is best?
Depends on what you care about most - budget, efficiency, heat output, or something else? Each model is specifically manufactured for a certain purpose, but they all share the same common theme of exceptional craftsmanship and stunning aesthetics. Let our team help you choose the right size and style for your home.
What's the difference between the Encore and Defiant?
The Encore is just smaller, putting out only 48,000 BTU compared to the Defiant’s 56,000 BTU. The Defiant’s 3.2 cu ft firebox boasts burn times up to 14 hours. But, the Defiant also costs $500ish more. It’s only worth the upgrade if you really need the extra warmth.
Does the Vermont Castings Encore wood stove qualify for a tax credit?
Yep! That credit could cover up to 30% of your purchase price. Ask our team how to qualify, or connect with a tax professional you trust.
