i bought a vermont castings aspen 1920 for my tv room last year,it was the perfect size and looked great.but then i lit a fire,i could not control the fire,turn the air all the way down no affect. the installer called some engineer,he said may be the draft is to strong so they put one of those little pancake dampers on the pipe behind the stove.close the damper a little and the house fills with smoke,the door latch was put on wrong in the factory,so they jammed the door shut and shipped it off so now it needs a new door gasket,i bring the door in and get a new gasket, bring it home and light a fire, same thing leaking smoke ,burning too hot.so i find out the front seal on both sides is leaking and the top plate gasket is leaking,the stove is just a total lemon,i would have had them take it back but they stopped making black enamel,how can they stop making black?has anybody else had problems? the stove guy said he has never had a problem with vermont castings and i always heard good things about them.it took months to get fixed,if somebody from the company would have come as soon as there was a problem it would have been resolved much sooner,i finally just fixed it myself,also the top plate was stripped.this has been a very expensive lesson and stressful i hope for there sake this is an isolated case, but i find that hard to believe.
