Forge & Flame Stardance Direct Vent Gas Stove - Bordeaux Enamel, crafted with Vermont Castings Finish

Bordeaux Enamel gives the Vermont Castings Stardance a deep red finish that makes the stove a focal point, even when the fire is off. It's a cast iron gas stove with operable doors and a 19 by 16-7/8 inch ceramic glass front, so the flame is always on display.

This version uses standing pilot ignition and needs no electricity to run, which keeps things simple. It vents straight up through the top, and you can add a variable speed fan kit or a remote whenever you like. Vermont Castings rates its input at 20,000 to 28,000 BTU/hr on natural gas and 21,000 to 25,000 BTU/hr on propane.

What Makes the Stardance in Bordeaux Different

• A rich red enamel. Bordeaux adds a deep color that stands out on the hearth.
• No electricity needed. Standing pilot ignition runs the stove without household power.
• A generous fire view. The ceramic glass measures 19 by 16-7/8 inches, so the flame is easy to enjoy from across the room.
• Cast iron with operable doors. It has the look and feel of a traditional Vermont Castings stove.
