4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap heat, October 15, 2008

This is a wonderful woodstove ... if you keep in mind that it is only $150.

I use one of these to heat my 1,250 square foot home. It works wonderfully.

The seams the other reviewer talks about breaking are not welded, they are caulked. And the manual says upfront that the seams will need to be re-caulked every so often. Same with the paint.

It is ugly, it does not fit together perfectly. But it really puts out the heat, and the price can't be beat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep looking., February 9, 2008

This review is from: CI STD Boxwood Stove (Misc.)

I've been using this stove on occasion in my woodshop for two months now. All four corners around the firebox have already cracked. The thing would completely fall apart were it not for the four slender metal rods on each corner that are apparently the "back up" for the welding (or caulking, it seems. Yikes!).

One side is now white (couldn't handle the heat?)and the stove hasn't been subjected to anything out of the ordinary. I'll be looking for a new stove next winter.

3.0 out of 5 stars I love this stove, November 14, 2008

What I like about this stove:

1) It will burn just about anything, even wet poplar.

2) It's not fussy about the chimney you put on it. Certified stoves can be very fussy.

3) It feels like it will last forever. There are no braided door seals to fall off, no delicate refractories to crumble, no catalyst to poison, no glass to break.

4) It's the right weight. It has a lot of thermal mass yet can be broken down and transported by one person. My EPA certified stove takes a Sikorsky Skycrane to move.

What I don't like:

1) Too much heat goes up the flue. It has nowhere near the efficiency of my Scan stove (but it cost only 1/20th as much).

2) The caulk they use to seal the stove stinks to high heaven on its first hot burn. Prepare to ventilate room or do your first burn outside.

All in all, I'm very happy with my Vogelzang BX26E. It's practically perfect for a rustic cabin in the mountains. And it reminds me of stoves I saw as a child, of which I have very fond memories.
