Our take on the Vermont Castings Defiant Traditional Door Wood Burning Stove

The Vermont Castings Defiant is a cast-iron wood-burning stove with a traditional front door, rated at 56,000 BTU/hr for mid-sized to large rooms. Its top-loading design keeps smoke and embers contained, and a swing-out ash pan lets you empty ashes while the stove is hot. Thermostatically controlled combustion and a ceramic catalyst stretch burn times and even out heat, and it meets 2020 EPA emissions standards. It suits buyers who want a heritage-styled, high-output stove and accept the cost and upkeep of a catalyst-equipped unit.

About the Vermont Castings Defiant Traditional Door Wood Burning Stove

The Vermont Castings Defiant is a wood burning stove with a traditional door. The original Defiant Parlor Stove was named over 40 years ago to "defy the wintery blast." It is suited to mid-sized and larger rooms.

Wood loads from the top, which keeps smoke and embers contained. A swing-out ash pan with a handled cover lets you remove ashes cleanly, even when the stove is hot. Thermostatically controlled combustion gives longer burn times and more even heat, and a ceramic catalyst increases efficiency.

The flue collar is reversible for flexible installations. A bottom and flue collar heat shield is included. The stove requires an oval adapter, which is sold as an accessory.

Questions and answers

How much heat does the Defiant put out?
Peak output is 56,000 BTU/hr, enough for mid-sized and larger rooms. Real-world heat depends on wood quality, draft and how you run the thermostat.
Does it need a catalytic converter?
Yes. It uses a ceramic catalyst to raise efficiency and meet 2020 EPA emissions standards. The catalyst is a wear item and needs periodic inspection and replacement.
What adapter do I need for the flue?
The flue collar is oval, so a separate oval adapter is required and sold as an accessory. The collar is reversible to suit different installations.
How do I empty the ashes?
A swing-out ash pan with a handled cover lets you remove ashes cleanly even while the stove is hot. Slide the pan out, cover it and carry it outside.
Is it hard to install?
It is heavy cast iron, so plan for a solid hearth and a two-person lift. Bottom and flue collar heat shields are included, and clearances follow the manual.
What is in the box?
The stove, bottom heat shield and flue collar heat shield. The oval flue adapter is not included and must be ordered separately.
