Im thinking of buying a used VC Vigilant coal/wood stove. I've looked at most of the threads but still have a few questions.
1. Is there a particular year(s) to stay away from when buying these stoves?
2. where can I get an adapter to fit the existing 6" pipe I have to connect to the oval hole on the VC stove? I looked quick online and only see oval to 8"
3. where should I be looking for broken internals? most common areas.
4. I checked the VC website and it looks like they dont even make this stove in a wood burning version anymore. should I take that as a sign and find another stove?
any input from vigilant owners or others is appreciated.
