With its robust construction and classic look, the 647 BFC stands as a statement piece in any living space while delivering a high level of performance.

Designed to warm spaces up to 2,000 square feet, this stove is ideal for residential use, particularly in larger homes or open-concept layouts.

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of the Vermont Casting 647 BFC. Equipped with a solid cast iron door and a secure latch, the firebox remains contained, preventing accidental contact with flames.
