* Clearances with double-wall connectors and protected surfaces have not been tested for the Intrepid II.

1.Shielding for a top exit stove must include the stove rear heat shield insert to protect the area behind the flue collar.

2.Chimney connector heat shields, in an installation that goes through a combustible ceiling, must extend to 1” (25 mm) below the ceiling heat shield, which is 22” (559 mm) in diameter. The ceiling heat shield should be 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, centered on the chimney connector, and mounted on noncombustible spacers.

3.Rear exit—horizontal from flue collar directly back through wall.

4.The ceiling heat shield required when chimney connector shields are used should meet the wall protector. This will require trim- ming the ceiling shield along the line of intersection with the wall protector.

5.In top exit installations, this clearance requires the use of the rear heat shield with the shield insert installed.

By 1990, Vermont Casting had established itself as a leader in the industry, celebrated for its innovative approach to heating solutions and commitment to sustainability.

The 1990 models reflected an impressive evolution in technology and aesthetics. One of the standout features of Vermont Casting stoves was their utilization of advanced air control systems. This technology allowed users to regulate the burn speed and heat output effectively, making it easier to maintain consistent warmth in the home while optimizing fuel efficiency. The stoves featured an adjustable air inlet that provided users with the power to control combustion according to their needs.

In terms of design, Vermont Casting stoves were characterized by their iconic, rustic appearance, often featuring a choice of colors and finishes that allowed them to blend seamlessly into a variety of home aesthetics. The deep, rich finishes of the cast iron, coupled with elegant detailing, made each unit not only a heating appliance but also a centerpiece in living spaces. This commitment to aesthetics extended to the variety of designs available, including both traditional and modern styles, catering to diverse consumer preferences.

Durability was another hallmark of Vermont Casting’s reputation. The use of high-quality cast iron meant that these stoves were built to withstand years of use, often becoming familial heirlooms passed down through generations. In addition to resilience, cast iron was known for its ability to retain heat even after the fire had gone out, providing lingering warmth long into the night.
