Convenient Top Load Design for Longer Burn Times | Industry Leader Our top load design makes it easier to fill the stove to nearly 100% of its capacity. This leads to longer burn times and greater heat output, so you don’t have to load as often. Plus, it is safer and virtually eliminates the escape of hot embers during loading.
Easy to Clean and Maintain | Vermont Castings Exclusive Our two-in-one system provides easy access to the catalyst and combustion chamber without the use of any tools for easy cleaning and maintenance. Plus, our stoves burn so clean, the catalyst doesn’t have to work as hard, so it will last longer than previous catalytic technology!

Your stove won’t over-fire and you’ll enjoy longer, more even burn temperatures with thermostatic air control. And, for the first time, you can enjoy the freedom to set your fire and go in the non-catalytic mode as well.
