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.

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.

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!!
