No more Vermont Castings or Flexburn- need recommendations

[WNCStove]

I have a 2 year old Dauntless Flexburn that had an internal weld fail at a critical part of the winter. This stove was how I have heated my home and it is unable to be repaired till spring due to replacement parts availability/ ship date. Customer service is non-existant, and my local shop is awaiting parts.

I need recommendations for a replacement unit from another manufacturer. I need reliable operation- what do you think?

Just about anything else on the market will be far more reliable. Look ar Pacific Energy lopi Regency Blaze king etc

Ill take a look. I hope my experience is a cautionary tale for anyone considering Vermont Castings Products. It has really turned out to be a poor choice.
