Forge & Flame Intrepid Direct Vent Gas Stove, crafted with Vermont Castings Finish

The Vermont Castings Intrepid Direct Vent gives you the look of a cast iron wood stove with the ease of gas. It's small and rich in detail, with operable doors, ceramic glass, and a 4-piece split oak log set on a ceramic burner. Because it uses standing pilot ignition, it needs no electricity to run.

That makes this version a simple choice for people who want a gas fire without relying on household power. It vents out the back through the included ZC wall sleeve, with no venting adapter required. Add a hand-held on/off remote or a touch screen thermostat remote if you like, both sold separately. Choose Classic Black or Bordeaux Enamel.

What Makes the Intrepid Direct Vent Different

• No electricity needed. Standing pilot ignition runs without household power, so the stove doesn't depend on an outlet.
• Cast iron wood stove styling. Operable doors and a 4-piece split oak log set give it the look of a traditional stove.
• Rear venting made simple. The ZC wall sleeve is included, and no venting adapter is required.
• Add what you want. An optional variable speed fan kit and optional remotes let you build the stove you want.
