wood stove, November 2, 2009
By LWard from Vermont

"We placed the wood stove up a month ago and have had good luck with it. was not as easy as we thought it would be because alot of black type oil was leaking from it .But took a while to get the stove to adjust to it and know we figured it out and think the stove is great work very well."

Outstanding Quality, November 2, 2009
By Anonymous from Wisconsin

"This product is solid, compact and well built. It replaces a stove of lesser quality. I am looking forward to the cold winter blasts to test the Turbo-Burn feature."

A good stove for the money, October 22, 2009
By smokeybear from Providence, Rhode Island

"I used this stove all last winter. At first it was difficult to light and fire up strong.
3 problems:
The insulation in the upper body causes a blockage. Smoke will come out towards the room when the door is opened. Not much but who wants any smoke in the house.
Secondly, the wood actually burns too slow and causes a lot of creosote buildup in the exhaust pipe.
Third, the fire box looks bigger than it really is because of the reburn tubes at the top.

So I removed the tubes and the insulation. Now the stove holds more wood and burns like any other airtight stove. I can fill it before bed and it burns for several hours. 8 hours later, it's still hot. I would buy again."

good for small cabins, March 15, 2009
By notgoodenough from Ludington, MI

"I bought this heater recently and I am very unhappy with it. It does last along time but there is one small problem. It dont heat very well. I have about 1100 squar foot home and it only keeps it around 55 degrees when the mornings are cold and are around the teens. The old wood heater I had was smaller and worked better. This wood heater also takes awhile to get going."

Slow Start, but very happy, February 3, 2009
By John13579 from Millersburg, PA

"When I first got this stove, it was smaller than I had originally thought. Which was fine by me! It does have a large firebox that allows for less cutting and splitting. This is my first wood stove, so getting everything set up with a chimney and smoke pipe was a bit tricky. For the first 3 weeks I could not keep a fire going, but soon after I figured out my problems, I began to realize it was not the stove itself, but the chimney and connections. Once I figured that out, I have been able to get this stove burning bright! I can put 2-3 logs on in the evening and it'll last for at least 10-12 hours and still have a nice bed of coals left over. I just throw a few smaller logs in and they flame right up! Overall, this stove is easy to use, not hard to get started (once you know what you're doing) and will burn for hours nice and bright. I'm using it to heat my kitchen and dining room, since they are an addition to the house, they are heated with electric rather than coal. The two rooms together are about 500 square feet, and there is no problem keeping those two rooms at or above 75 degrees. The weather here has gotten down to 0 a few times and those two rooms stayed nice and warm during the day. During the night, it cools off a bit, but I keep the dampers almost completely shut. The rooms get down to 65 degrees. This stove should have no problem heating up to another 500 square feet or more.

If you're looking for an economical stove, and if you have the patience to get it right, this stove will perform wonderfully. It has some downfalls, the handle on the door tends to get loose, but can easily be tightened up with a wrench. Also the damper control lever unscrews easily, but that's a very simple twist and fix. The Turbo Burn tubes are a bit of an inconvenience when loading up the fireplace, if you bump them it makes quite a racket. But they seem to be tough, I've hit them a few times and no damage. Also, when I got the stove, there was a wool insulating blanket that is between the firebox and top of stove, I took that out because I felt that it was slowing the smoke flow to the stovepipe. I don't know if this is necessary, the people at Vogelzang said it didn't matter if it was in, but that it was supposed to be. I took it out and it's still working fine, so...

This stove seems like it will get me through a good number of years. I'm very happy with my purchase, and Northern is a great company. Good customer service is key and they definately have it."

Staying warm so far..., December 5, 2008
By SCOTTIEJ from Lake George New York

"I purchased this unit back in September and has been burning almost everyday since. It is now December and staying much colder now, and the stove is working very well. It was pretty simple to set up, took longer to install the double wall stove pipe on the outside of the house. Make sure your math is correct when determine the proper height for your draft requirments, I think most negative reviews might have made errors in this department. It is a little hard to load, I raised the unit one foot with solid 16x8 concrete blocks, which makes it a lot easier to open and load from one knee. The turbo burn tubes get in the way when you fill unit at bedtime, but it burns almost all night. I'm still trying to dial her in, but its going longer each night. 8-9 hrs. Adjusting the front air flow is the trick As with any stove it takes a little time to find the perfect burn zone or sweet spot .I live in upstate new york and last winter spent almost two thousand bucks on propane, so far this year we have not needed a full fill up only $100.00 so far. We'll see when the cold is here to stay. It is located in the basement and we let the heat rise up into the bedrooms above, and keeps the upstairs at 68-71 almost all day. Downstairs its 73-75. So for now I'm happy with it, hope it stays that way, I would recommend this stove, good price and function."

great product!, November 28, 2008
By keepinwarminNH from Jaffrey NH

"I am very impressed with this product. I work long hours and the 12 hr. burn time is incredible! It throws an incredible amount of heat when needed and you can regulate the burn very easily. I have only been using it for 2 months, but all of the claims made by the manufacturer are true! We will see how it does when the sub-zero weather arrives here in N.H.
I have had only a couple problems with this product. 3 of the refractory brick were damaged in shipping and the door gasket fell off during operation. Otherwise this would have been a 5 star review. I highly recommend Vogelzang products to anyone. I am going to replace my older model Russo stove with another Vogelzang product. Great value, great product!!!"

"We really like the stove, but getting it started was a bear and kept filling the house with smoke until we installed an auto-draft fan on the stovepipe (model Tjernlund auto-draft model AD-1). Since we have a straight up stovepipe with no other draft complications, it is frustrating that the stove is so difficult to draft (we suspect because of the way the air flows to the front, then back along the top plenum for the more efficient burn). With the addition of the auto-draft fan, it is wonderful. It really does burn for 10-12 hours, and heats our 1,300 square house nicely (so far it's been down to 19 degrees outside overnight, and we haven't had to get up to recharge the wood in the stove)."
