The Elm wood stoves by Vermont Iron Stove Works | Vermont Iron Stove Works Neat looking stove, looks well built.
Just what I've seen on the Internet, & @ a neighbors house. I like to know if anyone has any experience with these stoves.
I'll tell you what there's nothing like owning something that's hand made! Those are some pretty cool looking stoves. Heck Farmchuck if you're looking into one I say go big or go home, get the 36" one! You'll have to get cutting to feed that beast though. :stacke:
Yeah i think I'd like one. I'm just not sure if they are still manufacturing whole stoves or just parts for them .
Here is some info that I've found I hope it's helpful to you. I have a new Elm stove and we love it. Vermont Iron Stove - the elm wood stove
The boy and me rebuilt one some years back. Neat basic simple stoves that work very well. The owner on the phone in Vermont was very nice and very helpful. The pie dish window is a great idea I thought. I can try to answer questions if you have any, but these are basically barrel stoves with cast ends, 4 bolts hold the everything together. If I could get one into my State I would, but Oregon filed an injunction on the guy and he's not allowed to sell or ship to this State, even parts if I remember correctly. Owl
I had one, it was a very rugged stove and was beautiful as well. Due to a corner install it did not work out for me as the heat radiating sides of the stove were intercepted by my wall heat shield. The fellow who Owns the company is very passionate about stoves and has some good videos on YouTube. I would still be burning that stove today if we could have had it in an open area to take advantage of the radiating heat.
I know this thread is really old but I just traded in my 1976 Elm for an EPA stove under a program that provided great rebates if you let them crush your stove. I had considered a rebuild from the guy who still sells them but I was used to the simplicity of the early ones and didn’t care for the new ones. It was simple and maintenance free but for 1 gasket every couple of years. I kept the door and have 2 of the inner glass pieces if anyone needs that. I doubt he will be in business much longer. [email protected] still kind of miss it.
I absolutely love those stoves. I have for years. I just love how they look & I even visited Steve in Vermont. I wish I had known you were getting rid of it I gladly would’ve bought it from you. I was never really able to locate one in decent shape.
I once went after a stove listed on Craigslist when I got to the guys house he had two stacks of steel stoves under tarps and a small shop filled with stoves stacked on each other. He would clean them up replace the bricks and door gaskets and resell. Well he invited me in to his place and he had a elm on his hearth. It was completely covered with mag temp gauges. Kinda weird but pretty cool. It alway made we wonder with all those stoves he had that one was on his hearth. Also had a buddy that burned one a couple seasons and wasn’t impressed. So…
