New gas stove

I moved a gas stove (woodstock cottage franklin) that never worked right after the move to the basement of a new to me home. After much frustration, i gave up trying to fix it myself (a factor to consider when buyig with no dealer network). I got that woodstock as a factory demo and paid $1,200 for it back in 2011, so i got my value from it. Fast forward to 2025, and i bought this regency gas stove unit. 38,000 btu, remote with thermostat, and a remote adjustable blower motor. Very happy with this stove. Vented out the side of tbe house similar to a dryer.

 

Only gas stove I have any personal experience with was the one that was in the lake house my wife & I honeymooned in. April of 2018. Glover VT on Shadow Lake. Still a foot or more of snow on the ground and the lake was completely frozen over.
The seemingly little gas stove was an absolute powerhouse. If I recall correctly it was on a T-stat but we bypassed it and set it up/down as we were so inclined.
I was a fan. I think it was a regency.

I know you said you're very happy with it. Letting it run around the clock or just letting it kick on when you're going to be in the basement?

 

I admit that if I had ng to the house a gas stove would be a very cheap and easy way to heat.

 

Me too; but there is not a NG line in Glover, that pro Pain when you get the bill

 

At that point a modern HE gas furnace would be more efficient and likely cheaper in the long run (although without "fire TV")

 

I stand corrected! It was indeed propane. I remember the large white tank on the side of the house.
Was def warm in there though!

 

It ok buddy; the VT gas main line heading south runs through my neighbors land.. I can’t get it here

 

To be fair neighbor, had 1,800 ish acres its 1/2 mile down road

 

We have NG piped to the house here. 75% of our bill is fees.
No shortage of hot water though.

 

the gas stove requires no ducts( which I don’t have),no power, is silent, and radiates heat like a woodstove.

 

We have a gas main literally across the street (probably 150' from where I'm sitting now) and we can't get gas. (It's a high pressure line, and they refuse to put a regulator on it to feed a house)

 

That makes me feel better they removed farmers tap ( referred to farm tap ) few years back.

 

None here either.
