How close to the wall

Details:

Space an issue for me. I have to put this in the corner of my dining room. How close can I go to the wall with a heat shield? Is the heat shield sold separately? Do I need a heat shield on the floor?

Who can I get to install this?

A heat shield is not needed as long as the minimum clearance to the combustible surface is met which is 36 inches from a sidewall, backwall or corner. A floor protector is recommended as stated in the product manual. Installation is recommended to be done by a professional.

I installed mine using heat shields on the walls "corner installation" behind it and on the floor. First I contacted my building department to find out what they required - the building code for any wood or pellet burning stove. It can be different from state to state or local building departments. I live in Michigan & my township requires a heat shield behind a stove and on a floor. If I didn't install the rear heat shields I would have had to keep it at least 36"- 42 inches from the walls - the code can be different for a stove installed in a corner such as in my case. The floor required a heat shield or non-conbustible base that extends so many inches out front of the stove. I purchased my heat shields locally because of our building code required a certain type. I strongly suggest seeking professional advise. Cheers

200,000 BTUs?

Details:

This pot-belly and some of your other stoves seem to be advertised in a way that could mislead consumers. You rate this stove at 200,000 btus. That's about what a central-heating furnace puts out. From the looks of the stove, I am wondering if you added a zero inadvertently.

But you do this with other stoves too. So I write this as a heads-up. Someone could possibly accuse you of misleading advertising.

This pot belly stove is rated and tested for BTUs by the manufacturer (Vogelzang), it is in fact 200,000 BTUs.

This stove is not air tight, so it does not distribute the heat as well as a furnace would but it is correctly rated.

When fully loaded and properly fired this stove will easily put out the advertised amount of heat.

Each fuel whether its propane - natural gas - wood - coal - all have a different BTU rating of their own. You need to understand its not the size of the stove or furnace so much as its the fuel used to produce the heat from it or BTU's. Sure a larger wood stove can produce more BTU's with a larger fire box. Wood has a much higher BTU rating than natural gas which most likely you use in your furnace. A furnace requires a heat exchanger - blower motor - duct wook & a safety housing to cover its works - all things that add to its size. I don't see in my opinion where the 200,000 BTU rating is misleading what so ever. Example - how ever simple it may be - stand in front of a camp fire compared to an electric heater & see which puts out the most heat its just a simple comparison I know. May I suggest looking up BTU ratings for different fuels. This little stove heats my 1,400 sq. foot house & only using my furnace blower to circulate the heat from it. Cheers

Answers

No....I'm not sure who stated it's not airtight....this is designed as an "airtight" stove, meaning that the firebox has an airtight design that allows you to control the draft air entering, to really slow the burn down if desired. (Mine is open draft to start the fire, then I push the lever all the way in to really get a slow long burn.) I have no worries of carbon monoxide...two detectors in my home, and I burn 24 hours in the dead of winter...never any issues, and I'm a firefighter and wouldn't take chances. Great stove, and very safe.

This is a porous cast iron stove and carbon monoxide is not a problem with the burning process. Being it is not air tight means it will emit some smoke.

ProductExpert12

November 24, 2010

If the stove is fired properly and you have a good chimney this will not be a problem as all of the smoke from the unit will exhaust outside. A stovepipe thermometer is the best way to ensure that you have enough draft without over-firing.

clearance space issue

Details:

I am limited on space, and i notice this stove requires 36 inches, is that 36 inches from the back of the stove to the wall, or 36 inches from the front of stove to the wall. also, if i brick the wall from floor to ceiling with firebrick, can the back of the stove be about 12 to 16 inches away from the wall and still operate safely? this stove will be in a cottage I'm building that will be lived in full time, so safety is an issue more than if it was to just heat a workshop.

The clearance on this stove is measured from the back of the stove to the wall. If you place this next to a completely non-combustible wall, (a brick wall with wood studs behind it would not be acceptable) then the clearance would be 18 inches.

Fire starting

Details:

How do you start a fire in this stove?

How are ashes removed and where are they removed from?

Anonymous

January 16, 2012

Answers

To start the fire you would open the stove pipe draft and the spin draft on the ash door. Then use small twigs or crushed paper. Open the feed door and put the paper or twigs on the floor and then top with kindling. Light the paper or twigs and close the door tightly. Close the spin draft and adjust the pipe draft.

Do not allow the ashes to become higher than the grate. Cool completely and vacuum or shovel out the ashes.

best way to start coal - clean out bottom ash - lay 5 pounds coal bed - lots of dry kindling wood on top - open bottom vents and go - 1/2 hour later with good draft your firebox gets to 400 F ad more coal - 5 pounds at a time - dont smother your fire

your burn is a function of draft - your draft is a function of chimney height

remove ash from bottom tray

How large is the inside (i.e. max size of logs), and can you burn non-wood items?

Details:

We currently have a similar stove -- getting old -- and we use it non-stop at our cottage when it's cold. We burn twigs and fallen branches from outside, but we also find it convenient to toss in the odd paper product to cut down on our volume of garbage. We also toss in scrap pieces of lumber from various building/repair projects, again to cut down on garbage. The wood we burn is about 20" in length, give or take a couple of inches. Since we have a large supply already cut and cured, we need to find a stove that can take this size of wood, and also burn other wood and paper items.

Vogelzang 200,000 BTU Cast Iron Pot Belly Stove, Model# PB65XL 4.6 5 22 22

short burn An attractive looking item but will not hold a fire for 8 hours as advertised, average is about 3 hours. Have tried different types of coal from different sources nothing seems to help the short burn time. The 200,000 btu rating is probably accurate but only over a short time. January 16, 2012

great cheap stove Great stove for the price, but don't expect top quality. Works well in my 1K sqft cabin. Smokes alot on first couple of fires, even though they were small and low temp. The packing was poor. The shipping crate was cheaply made and broken. I was suprised that all of the parts arrived and only the main door had some shipping damage. The setup and install was easy and the directions were easy to understand. For what I paid it was what I expected. October 25, 2011

Great Little Stove This is one great stove. Burns good and looks good. Brings back some good old memories. Good advise to burn a little cooler the first 3 or 4 burns. Our store had new ones on back order but had one from last season. Gave me a great deal and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. As usual Northern is a great place for quality and fair pricing. Thanks Northern Tomco Bob October 17, 2011

great stove I bought this stove to heat my 1200 sq/ft shop. It does a great job even when the outside temp is well below zero. The shaker grate and ash door are nice features and one of the main reasons I chose this model as it allows for continuous burning. Also, the unit has a small footprint which is a benefit as well - it takes up less floor space than other stoves. Fully loaded with wood it will give about a 4 hour burn. The stove is not airtight so a longer burn would require banking the fire as another reviewer mentioned. Generally I load smaller amounts of fuel more often as this helps to conserve my wood. When fully loaded it puts out way more heat than needed to keep the space warm. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and expect to get many years of use from it. Furthermore, the stove has a looks great. Be sure to fire it at a low heat initially so as to properly cure the paint. Otherwise the fire pot will turn white. Also it is a good idea to invest in a stovepipe thermometer as this is the best way to insure a proper burn. December 27, 2010

Great little stove Stove is very good source of heat and take up little space. Try it you will definitely agree. The heat is in my opion soothing to the soul. November 24, 2010

I'm finally Warm I love this little stove. For years now all I've had is one small heater for the whole house. Winters got pretty bad. I decided to order this stove and it has been wonderful. I've never had a wood stove before and it was easy for me to learn how to build a fire in this one. It drafts very good and I never have smoke come out into the house. It only takes a short time and my 3 rooms are very comfortable. If you have a small space to heat, I recommend this stove. November 16, 2010

Great stove This is a great stove. Easy to set up, just put the legs on and attach pipe. Puts out some great heat with a small amount of wood. It's not designed or meant to be an airtight stove, so if you're used to the way an airtight stove burns, this will take a little getting used to. The only negative thing I can say is watch out when you first fire it up! It will smoke and REALLY stink as the factory coating cures!! Be sure to open all windows and doors for the first burn! October 4, 2010

Just what he needed I purchased this for my husband because he has always wanted a pot belly stove. We put it in the barn, where he always does woodworking, and this stove will keep the entire barn warm, even when the temperature gets down to the 30's outside. We vented it trhough the side of the barn. August 30, 2010

coal burning I decided to try coal after burnig wood for 5 years. Reason being that coal has the highest btu (heat) output pound for pound than any other fuel. You can always get coal, wood supplies are spotty. The Vogul 65xl is reasonably priced and easy to use. But it's not air tight and it does exactly what it's designed for. It burns the fuel quick and real hot. So it requires a lot of tending. That's not a bad thing but that's what you should expect. It's meant for a large area and a constant supply of fuel. As with most coal shackers you can burn wood also or mix wood and coal. Overall a good value for the money and then some. March 4, 2010

One hot deal Stove was very easy to set up. I did cure the stove outside to avoid the smoke and smell inside. Hooks up easy and puts out a good deal of heat with little amount of wood. Its compact shape takes up less room space when installed with a heat shield. Id recommend it for any use home or shop. February 22, 2010
