Cast iron craftsmanship sized for the main floor. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 1,200–2,400 sq ft • Maximum Log Size: 18″ • Burn Time: Approx. 8–12 hours. • Fuel: Wood. • Controls: Thermostatic air control. • Fan: Optional Who It’s For Some homes need more than a small stove but not the biggest one on the floor. You want midsize heat in a stove that looks like furniture. The Forge & Flame Encore, crafted with Vermont Castings, is for the living room or great room where the stove is a centerpiece and wood is the main heat. A plain steel box heats the room; this one dresses it. What Makes It Special A ceramic catalyst and thermostatic air control stretch a load to as much as 12 hours of even heat. Top loading keeps smoke contained, and the swing-out ash pan lets you clean up while the stove is still hot. Bottom and flue heat shields are included. Logs up to 18 inches fit. Pick classic black, twilight, majolica brown, bordeaux, or sand, with traditional doors, or classic black transition doors. Possible Downsides • The fan is a separate kit. • Enamel transition doors are an added kit. If you want a cast iron stove that heats the main floor and looks the part, the Forge & Flame Encore is the right decision. Guests ask about the stove before they take off their coats. Choose a finish and door style, and add a transition door kit, warming shelf, fan kit, mobile home bracket kit, outside air adapter, safety screen, steamer, trivet, gloves, thermometer, or wood box.
