No ash tray, which is one of the criticisms in some reviews of the Frontiersman. I find that a minor inconvenience, compared to the overall price/performance of this stove, though.

How low can the intake air be adjusted ?

Details:

The reason I ask is that it is not certified and I thought
all stoves that were not certified could not be turned
down low at the air intake to slow down the fire.
There is no sense in owning a stove that you cannot
adjust the intake air from full to none and everything
in between

The manual comes with installation instructions, including clearances from combustible surfaces and how to run the chimney. I wrote about my install in my blog, but I can't link to the article from here. I was extra-conservative, and used cement board and roofing metal for side and rear heat shields, and added a large area of cement board and ceramic tile under it. In our second full winter since installation, we have had no problems.

attaching stove pipe

Details:

All advice says attach stove pipe male end DOWN (for creosote drainage into stove). The Frontiersman clearly is tapered at its outlet, preventing that.

What do you suggest?

The manual states the crimped end of the stovepipe fits over the
stove flue collar. Secure with three (3) sheet
metal screws.

I have always installed chimneys male-end down, and had no trouble doing that with this stove. It keeps any liquid from seeping out onto the exterior of the chimney pipe. I still don't burn pine, and try to keep away from uncured or wet wood, to keep the creosote production down in the first place.

Answers

No, the Vogelzang Frontiersman Wood Stove cannot be used as a fireplace insert. The stove requires a minimum clearance of 28" from any combustible sidewall and 33" from a combustible back wall. Drywall, brick and stone are considered a combustible surface. Northern Tool does sell a few wood-burning, fireplace inserts(items #700249 and #158972) that may work for you.

Answers

The stove MUST be installed on a floor protector as stated in the product manual and the legs are NOT TO BE REMOVED for the stove to be used as an insert. The stove is NOT to be used as an insert.

The distance from the bottom of the heater to the floor is approximately 8 inches.

I have cooked several meals on the top of our stove. The front two corners will hold standard size cookware. The top doesn't get quite as hot as a cast iron or steel plate top wood stove. If you are into slow cooking, this stove works just fine for cooking. If you want to fry foods, use a thin wall skillet or you will need to get the stove really hot if you use cast iron.

Small Stove, Big Heat! We love our stove! The upright size keeps the footprint smaller as our home is less then 1500 SF. There have been several times when the stove was burning so hot we had to open the front door to let some of the heat OUT of the house! The glass in the door makes it easy to watch the fire and know when we need to put more wood in. The Air Wash feature makes it a bit easier to keep the glass clean. I also like it that the stove pipe is mounted at the back of the stove. This gives me the two front corners to do some cooking. This stove is not set up for cooking, however, I have cooked several meals on the stove top. It does not get as hot as a conventional wood stove because of the double wall ceiling in the fire box. It is not ideal for cooking, but in a power outage, it works just fine. The only reason I did not give this stove a 5 star rating is that you cannot bank it to keep it burning through the night. It doesn't have manual dampers to control the air flow. We have closed the chimney flue until it is almost closed and it still burns out over night. The plus is, it will burn for at least 6 hours so the house stays warm. When I shovel out the ash, there are just enough live coals for me to get the fire started again. Just keep a good supply of kindling ready to restart the fire each morning. All told, we love our stove and highly recommend it to others. April 25, 2013

Glad we chose this one My wife and I have had four stoves in our home in the last five years and this is by far the best for our application. We have a 1400 sq ft home and this little stove heats it to 80 degrees with no problem. We love the glass door for viewing the fire and keeping track of the need for adding wood. Installation was a snap to connect to our existing venting. We bought this after looking at many other more expensive stoves and have not been disapointed. We replaced an antique cook stove and were still able to cook on top of this stove. If you have a small home or cabin don't hesitate to use this stove. April 23, 2013

Produces good heat This wood burning stove does a good job for it's size. The price was right. Wood needs to be custom cut to fit and it is difficult to remove ash without making a mess. We are heating a lake side cabin with 1200 sq. feet 1 1/2 story and circulating the air with celing fans. Our coldest weather is about 30 degrees so it will keep the inside warm to 70 degrees. October 15, 2012

Gotta love it! Bought this shortly after Katrina. With about 12 cords of hardwood cut off my property, I figured we could use some help for our aging central unit. Installed in one end of kitchen/laundry room, next to rear master bedroom. Easy install; load it up at night, and you are warm until time to reload the next AM, or to let it cool down. This is about a 800 sq.ft. area that we heat. We don't get a lot of consecutive freezing nights most winters, so the fact that there's no ash drawer removal isn't too much of a bother - just wish there was one. January 16, 2012

barniepool ordered picked up with any hitches installed and its the best thing to take place this year the wood burner rocks low burn and comfy January 9, 2012

Frontiersman Wood Stove Very pleased with ordering and shipping process.Have a 2 story house,main area for living room as heat circulates well,bought a through the wall kit,including thimble with little difficulty.After set up had a few chilly days/nights fired up stove performed well.We buy seasoned wood for about 50.00/truckload and free millwood.We also have an electric fireplace as supplement heat source. October 13, 2011

Good stove, great price It is what it is. A bottom of the line stove from an established company. First stove so I dont have much to compare it to, but it has been working great in a 1200 sq ft farmhouse. March 22, 2011

life saver This is a great little stove. We have a little twelve hundred square foot home and it has cut our electric bill in half. I was a little worried about the size when we first got it but After the first couple of fires I was very happy. We use chunks of two by fours from a pallette shop as our fuel source and sometimes get too warm. All in all I would recommend this stove to anyone. March 21, 2011

Savings My home is equipt with heat pumps which, at best, are very inefficient. This is my first woodburning stove and there is a learning curve to building and maintaining a fire. The best I can say about this stove is that it cut my electric bill by $200.00 per month March 15, 2011

Vogelzang Frontiersman Wood Stove we looked at quite a few much higher priced woodstoves... BUY THIS ONE! the fan/ blower is incredible for its size. we do find that cutting the logs shorter than we were used to is a learning curve, but by using log "bricks" you can get quite toasty. glass stays surprisingly clean. we are extremely pleased with this unit.
