vogelzang verks veddy goodzz !!,
November 3, 2009
By fussyone1
from Manchester N.H
"I purchased this stove for a 14'x20' man room I built on the back of my property. I like to be able to go out there on cold winter weekends to watch football games etc. This stove replaces an old potbelly stove that I used for a few years now. The vogelzand stove takes up to a 23" log and burns cleanly and effeciently,and even though the room is not insulated it warms up the area fast , to a comfortable temperature,and now I"m burning much less wood because of it"s airtight features. And following a tip from a review I read before buying this stove I bought the grate for the stove( which I purchased from Northern Tool )and this allows for a much quicker more effecient fire. This stove works very well for my outside room and I think it would also work well in any camp , shed or working garage.So far I"m very pleased with my decision to purchase a Vogelzang wood stove...!"

Fantastic Little Stove,
November 2, 2009
By dewitte
from Chesapeake, Virginia
"I'm very happy with this awesome wood stove. I bought one for my garage last year kind of as a whim and after getting it up and running it really made working out there a lot more fun during the winter months. We keep an old tea pot on it full of water just in case we want some hot chocolate and we even made a few packages of Jiffy Pop popcorn with it. It heats up the two car garage without any difficulty. The price is perfect for the value received."

Great product for the price,
October 17, 2009
By DFuller
"I uesd this stove to heat a mobile home. 12x60, My only heat source, and it did great!! The top eyes is really a waste, unless cooking, but u must have a hot fire going to use them, but the removeable top comes in handy, but I have to say this stove has save our life during this weather.. Our heatin system went down, and went with this product, and I am so happy with it.. Yeah its small which means u gotta keep reloading it, but it does burn the wood slow, with alot of heat output... I also used a fan behide it which heated the entire home.. I would recommend this to anyone with a small budget.. What really came in handy was when the power was off for 5 days, not only did we stay very warm we also got to cook too!! This is a Great stove!!!!"

You get what you pay for,
September 25, 2009
By woody6
from NE Ohio
"Bought a new one in October of 2008 and used it all winter. For the money, it is a decent stove but it does have its drawbacks. Don't even think about letting this stove go for more than 3-5 hours because it will be down to coals by that time and you will have to use kindling to get it going again. Forget about the paint staying on it after you get it hot a few times. Draft on this stove is tricky to control due to the design of the ash tray in front. You will spend a little time getting used to its quirks. Also, it is very leaky because of the way the top of it is built (pot holders built into the top, the entire top piece is not part of the main body, just sits there). If you build a VERY hot fire with small pieces, the sides of this thing will glow red hot and you better watch your chimney for glowing and listen to it close (you could start a chimney fire in it if you don't pay very close attention). I used a fan on it and blew air across it from the back side. This helped distribute the heat a lot better. Small stove = small heat. If your house is more than 800-900 square feet, consider saving up a couple of extra bucks and getting a larger more efficient stove. You won't regret it."

Shop heated,
November 19, 2008
By littled
from Lottie, LA
"Bought this heater for my dad to put in the shop. I thought it might be small while putting it together but, after we fired it up it was just right. Buyers, don't forget to get the grating that goes in the bottom, this helps with burning. I would buy another one if i needed one."

good stove for the money,
August 18, 2008
By BMurph
"I use this stove to heat a 900 square foot block garage. I does a really good job. The only complaint I have is that the paint on the stove has turned gray in some areas from getting too hot. Other than that I am happy with it."

By terrapinjim
from Tionesta, PA
"This is a great stove, especially for the money. We have it in our seasonal cabin, about 700 sq. ft. and it warms the place up no problem. Don't expect it to burn all night though. It needs to be re-stocked after a few hours."

Handy Lil Heater,
January 21, 2008
By FarmerMike75
from South East, Louisiana
"Love the stove first for the rustic look that hearkens back to yesteryear here on the farm, works great, easy to assemble out of the box, fires start quickly and easily. Unit gets quickly up to heat, and is easy on the wood supply. Would not hesitate to recommend to all for small heating jobs, and is a great back up as a stove when you loose power."

Drafty, leaky,
October 30, 2007
By Tido
from New Hampshire
"This stove has a lot of leaks, and as a result is impossible to regulate. Even with drafts fully closed. Joint compound fell out very shortly after arrival, contributing to leakiness. OK for heating a small space for a short time, as it needs to be fed almost constantly. Although I still use it and probably will for another season, I would not buy again."

Consider spending a few dollars more...,
October 29, 2007
By UncleReggie
from Hornell, NY
"A strictly average stove suitable for warming a small space. Easy to assemble and set up - the chimney is another matter if you don't already have one.
Drawbacks: Limited heating ability. Most of the joint/seam sealing compound fell out after only a couple of months of use. As advertised, the top slides to the side for ease of loading. However, the tab on the pivot post intended to keep the lid from falling off is too small and wears off almost immediately. The result: When you slide the top to the side to load the stove, it falls off when you let go of it. This is a big pain a best, and down right dangerous if you have a fire going.
As my title indicates, spend a few dollars more. You won't regret it."

Little Heater for Big Spaces,
October 29, 2007
By Coachbro
from IL
"The Cast Iron Box Stove by Vogelzang is very well built. I use it to heat a 600 square foot garage in the winter months. It is enough, but it is at its limit if it gets very cold outside for a building this size. The only complaint was a nasty odor when I had it burning full tilt for an extended time last winter. I think it was the "heat resistant" paint on it actually vaporizing. However, it did not cause any rust during the spring and summer months"

You get what you pay for,
September 13, 2007
By RobH
from Poconos, PA
"Simply put, it's a hundred dollar stove. My primary heat source was oil when I first bought it, but this thing save our lives during a week long power outage in the dead of winter.
That said, you MUST feed it every hour, every hour and a half at the most. If you let it go two or more you probably need to restart it. Also, after 2 years of hard use--last year wood was my primary heat source--the sidewall has separated from the base.
A hundred dollars was all I could afford to spend at the time, and this thing served us well for what we paid."

Warm Winter,
March 6, 2007
By Byudave
from Houston,Texas
"My 96,000 BTU Boxwood stove arrive with minor damage, but a little hi-temp putty solved the problem. Winters in South Texas are usually mild, but typical electrical bills run $200 to $325 a month, the highest being Jan. To Feb. Using free oak beams from a pallet recycle company the Boxwood stove (vented to the fireplace chimney) kept us cozy warm with minimal effort. We have not used our furnace since we installed the stove and our highest electrical bill was $141.88! That pays for the stove, and next month's bill will pay for the shipping. Am I pleased? Like a cat at a leaky dairy !!!"

Best in size,
December 14, 2006
By JoeH
from Knightdale, N.C.
"From someone that has been heating with wood for many years, this is one of the best burning and most economical stoves I've used. Lights up fast and gets warm very quickly; needs little tending and can be dampened all the way down without back-smoking to provide maximum heating. Couldn't get a better stove for this price !"

Excellent Stove,
November 17, 2006
By Shoeshoe
from Howell,Nj
"This Vogelzang Cast Iron Stove Model # BX26E is great. It takes up very little space. It works better than I expected. It loads conviently from the top or the front. It heats the room super fast and stays hot so I save on wood. Since there are three openings the upleasant job of cleaning the stove is very easy. It is well worth the price. I have already given my friend the Northern catalog; so he can order one."
