(back) Subject: Re:Gas Stoves - HearthStone From: "Dave Kuhfahl" <[email protected]> (by way of Craig Issod) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:35:00 -0400 We (HearthStone) carry a full line of gas stoves. You have probably seen our cast and stone units, this year we are introducing a couple of cast only products. We like to think our reputation for "out of the box" functionality, Customer Service and Specialty Hearth Retailer loyalty exceeds the other (formerly) Vermont company. Ask around.

(back) Subject: The Phoenix EXPO '99 survey From: "Jim Butchart" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 11:35:00 -0400 While the Phoenix HPA EXPO is still fresh in your mind, this would be a great time to give HPA some feedback about the "show", especially the education portion. You can take the survey online at the HPA website. The address is http://www.hearthassociation.org/EXPOsurvey.html HPA strives to produce education that its members can use to enable them to become smarter, safer, and more productive in their businesses. Your input is essential to keep the education sessions beneficial to you. Jim Butchart [email protected]

Its appearance is similar to the two smaller VC's, but the operation is in no way comparable to VC. First, it has the same features that make Valor products stand out from any others (it goes down low (6000BTU up to 20,500), it uses no electiricity (no fan needed because it has a modulating burner, giving a constant, steady, even heat; battery is used for wall switches and remote control), snd, best of all, it produces a constant heat (the temperature never varies in the room). Those are just the regular Valor features. The President can be direct vent, top or rear, co-axial or co-linear, or it can be B-vented. It is a free-standing, zero clearance stove and can also be used as a hearth mount. The outer casings can be removed and the stove can be pushed back into the wall as a built-in fireplace with either of two facia (a cast iron Federalist facia or a contemporary facia). The President uses a switch on the stove itself or a wall-mounted or remote control which still allow it to be turned down 75% and give a constant temperature. The flame is beautiful; even on a low burn, the flame is good. If you're looking for a new cast iron or porcelain line, there is no other stove on the market that can compare to Valor with it's controls, steady temperatures, and reliability.
