Where Heritage and Technology Meet.

At Vermont Castings we’ve woven together a rich history of traditionally forged handcraftsmanship with leading edge technology to offer you some of the most beautiful and most technologically advanced stoves and fireplaces available.

Coming from the heart of Vermont, where the beauty of nature and the richness of time spent with family and friends around hearth and home is built into each product we make, we also strive today to incorporate contemporary concerns for the environment and the carbon footprint we each leave behind.

Vermont Castings proudly offers you some of the cleanest burning and most efficient stoves on the market. In fact, seven out of the top twelve efficient stoves in the world are made by Vermont Castings. Green is our state color after all.

Recycled, Renewable and Re-used Resources.

Vermont Castings uses 100% recycled cast iron that comes from reclaimed items such as automotive brake drums and rotors, and other larger, recycled cast iron pieces – including Vermont Castings rejected cast pieces and scrap.

Our foundry runs on 70% hydro power – a renewable and clean resource and 30% nuclear power – also a clean resource. In fact, we’re so into green, we’ve even changed all of our lightbulbs at both the foundry and the plant to T5 fluorescents!

Our casting process uses environmentally friendly natural sand and clay to bond the mold together (using a constantly monitored and perfected humidity level) rather than an artificial polymer, and the natural sand and clay is used again and again.

More Than Just Good Looks.

In the hearth industry, there are four “green” agencies that each have certain high standards for efficiency and the impact the product has on the environment at large. Our Vermont Castings stoves and fireplaces all meet each of these agencies’ rigorous standards and, depending on the product, may also qualify for “green points” when being considered as part of a “green” or “LEED” certified building.These agencies are as follows and our products fall into the following categories with them:
