The Vermont Castings Dauntless-C is a catalytic wood stove built for steady, long burns. The catalyst comes included and helps it burn more efficiently at low settings, and Vermont Castings rates it for up to 10 hours on a load with a peak output of 36,900 BTU/hr.
It's also easy to use. You load from the top, so smoke and ash stay in the stove, and the swing-out ash pan lets you empty ashes even while it's hot. The cast iron griddle top is ready for cooking, with an optional cooking grill available. Pick Classic Black, Twilight, Brown Majolica, or Bordeaux to suit your room.
What Makes the Dauntless-C Different
-
Catalyst included. The catalyst adds efficiency during low burns, and the stove is certified to the EPA 2020 standard at 1.7 g/hr.
-
Top loading. Load from the top to keep smoke and ash contained and fit a fuller load.
-
Griddle top. The cast iron griddle top is a real cooking surface, and an optional cooking grill is available.
-
Flexible venting. A reversible flue collar lets the stove vent from the top or the rear.
