Forge & Flame Intrepid DV

The Forge & Flame Intrepid DV is rated for 450–950 sq ft, so it suits a small room, a cabin, or one main living area. It's a cast iron stove crafted with Vermont Castings, offered in classic black or bordeaux enamel, with an optional warming shelf in the same finish.

Yes. The Intrepid DV uses a millivolt standing pilot that stays lit and generates enough voltage to run the stove, so it keeps heating through an outage. Only the optional fan kit connects to household power.

Yes, but it ships set up for natural gas, so propane needs the propane conversion kit, installed by a qualified technician. On natural gas the millivolt model runs from 12,500 to 17,000 BTU/h input, and on propane from 12,000 to 16,000 BTU/h.

It's a direct vent stove that exhausts from the rear through a 4-inch inner and 6-5/8-inch outer pipe, out a side wall or up through the roof. A horizontal run can reach 20 feet with up to 40 feet of rise, and a vertical system must end between 8 and 40 feet above the flue collar.

It runs from a wall switch, or you can wire in a wall thermostat rated for 500–750 millivolts. Optional battery-receiver remotes include a simple on/off hand-held and a touchscreen thermostat remote with thermostatic control, a six-hour timer, and sleep mode.

Yes, where local codes allow. Because it's a sealed direct vent unit that doesn't use room air for combustion, the manual approves it for bedrooms in the US and Canada. It's also approved for aftermarket, permanently located manufactured (mobile) homes, a listing the manual marks USA only.

No hearth pad is needed on rigid floors like hardwood, tile, or brick; on carpet, use a metal or wooden panel covering the stove's full footprint. The Intrepid DV also fits an alcove at least 69-3/4 inches tall and 33-3/16 inches wide, up to 18-15/16 inches deep.

No. This standing-pilot Intrepid DV can't be sold in New York or Rhode Island, but the electronic-ignition Intrepid can. That version uses the IntelliFire Touch ignition system and comes with the fan as standard, while on the Intrepid DV the fan is an add-on.
