Forge & Flame Aspen C3 Wood Stove - Classic Black, crafted with Vermont Castings Finish

The Vermont Castings Aspen C3 is a wood stove for people who want a real wood fire without learning a set of dials. There are no manual controls. Vermont Castings' Continuous Combustion Control (C3) technology manages the burn for you, so you load it, light it, and enjoy the fire.

It's traditional looking in Classic Black, with a top plate that doubles as a cooking surface. The Aspen C3 is outside air ready without an extra adapter, takes logs up to 18 inches, and is certified to the EPA 2020 standard at 1.76 g/hr.

What Makes the Aspen C3 Different

• No controls to fiddle with. C3 technology runs the stove at a single, steady burn rate, so there's no air lever to set and reset.
• A top you can cook on. The top plate doubles as a cooking surface, and an optional ceramic glass cook top accessory is sold separately.
• Outside air ready. The Aspen C3 is ready for an outside air connection without buying an additional adapter.
• Leg levelers included. Adjustable leg levelers come with the stove to help it sit level on your hearth.
