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.

One of the standout features of the Vermont Casting 647 BFC is its exceptional heating capacity. 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. Additionally, the stove features a raised grate system that allows for ash to fall through, keeping the firebox cleaner and reducing maintenance.
