Loading & Convenience

The Defiant's large 3.2 cu. ft. firebox provides substantial capacity for extended heating and accepts logs up to 20". Its top-loading design allows wood to be added through the griddle top, helping make routine loading easier while reducing smoke and ember exposure.

The swing-out ash pan simplifies cleanup, while the cast-iron griddle provides a convenient cooking or warming surface when the stove is operating.

FlexBurn Combustion Technology

The Defiant features Vermont Castings FlexBurn Technology, allowing the stove to deliver efficient, controlled combustion while retaining the operating flexibility Vermont Castings designed into its larger wood stoves.

Thermostatically controlled airflow helps regulate combustion throughout the burn cycle, contributing to more consistent heat output and reducing the need for frequent manual adjustments.

Flue & Installation

The Defiant uses a 6" flue connection and supports both top-vent and rear-vent configurations. This provides flexibility when planning a new chimney system or connecting the stove to an appropriate existing chimney.
