Are Vermont Castings stoves still made in the USA?
Vermont Castings still makes cast-iron wood and gas stoves, and the brand's cast-iron stoves have long been produced in the United States — it was founded in Randolph, Vermont in the 1970s. Ownership has changed hands several times over the decades, so the surest way to confirm where a specific stove was built is the model and serial plate.
A Vermont heritage that's changed hands
Vermont Castings built its name on heavy cast-iron stoves cast in Vermont, and cast iron remains the heart of what it makes. Over the years the company has passed through several corporate parents, and manufacturing and sourcing have shifted with each one.
That's why 'made in the USA' is best answered per unit rather than as a blanket yes for every model and every year. If origin matters to you on a specific stove, check the model and serial plate — that's the honest source of truth, not a general claim.
We service them even though we don't sell them
Vermont Castings isn't in our showroom lineup, but repair is brand-agnostic — we service all major hearth brands, and there are plenty of VC wood and gas stoves out in older Asheville homes and up the mountain cabins.
Gaskets, firebrick, catalytic components, valves, and pilots are the usual wear items. Gas work on any of them is licensed and never a DIY job in North Carolina, so leave the valve and connection side to us.
If you're buying new and want American-made
For a new stove that's genuinely American-made, Kozy Heat is built in Minnesota, and Lopi — which we install and service — comes off Travis Industries' floor in Washington State. If your real priority is grid-down heat, that's a separate question from origin: a serious wood burner like Regency's Cascades F1500 gives you the overnight, off-grid burns that carried homes through Helene when the power was out for days.
Bring us the Vermont Castings stove you're considering, or the one you already own, and we'll give you the straight read on condition, parts, and whether it's worth keeping. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free assessment.
