Oh my! The new Vermont Castings Merrimack wood burning insert has got to be the most impressive stove to come along in years.
I’ve sold so many Montpelier inserts I lost count but once the Merrimack hit the showroom floor, I had a hard time keeping one in to show!
The Merrimack’s huge firebox & non-catalytic, high-efficiency design gives you tremendous blazing fires that look like the big fires you have in the open fireplace. The ambiance of those roaring fires do not come at the expense of burning huge amounts of wood or great loss of heat and energy. No, the Merrimack is a very efficient stove designed to heat over 2,000 square feet.
Here are just a few of the Merrimack’s features;
- Burn time up to 12 hours
- Log length: 20” to 22”
- Auto Air Control
- No power no problem — stay warm during power outages
- Rear wheels ease installation
- Easily removable internal baffle for chimney cleaning
- Full refractory lining
- 350 sq. in. viewing area — 60% larger than our competition in the s ame class
- Firebox (gasketed construction), front, and door constructed of the best material for wood-heating; quality cast iron from our Vermont foundry
- 6” flue collar is detachable, secured from outside or inside the firebox, and adjustable for vertical or 30 degree offset.
- Quiet, high-volume heat-activated variable speed circulation fan is included. The power cord can be directed to either side. The fan can be easily cleaned and serviced from the front of the insert. The fan improves circulation
of the room air, but is not required to provide heat.
