Answers

This Vogelzang Heartwood Wood-Burning Heater can be placed in front of a fireplace and the the pipe can be ran through the chimney. However, manufacture instructions must be followed. Do not attempt to run the pipe through the throat of the fireplace. Not all fireplace chimneys are suitable for conversion to accommodate a wood stove. Check with a local qualified expert as well as local laws and regulations.

Great stove We have had this stove for about 5 years. Our sole source of heat in our 2000 sq ft home which is not insulated very well. It does a great job of keeping it warm and cozy. We did add a fan on the wall in the hall to push the air to the back rooms. It has developed several leaks and the smoke is bothersome. I am afraid we will have to look into another one. It appears to be leaking from around the top edge. But all in all a great stove. December 18, 2012

1st Time Around This is my first wood burner, and I bought it mainly because of the good reviews, price, and cabinet style. I installed it in an unfinished section of the basement where looks don't matter. It is very well built and easy to use. I am disappointed how fast it goes through wood though, even with the intake damper on low. It throws out good heat, although I need to buy the fan kit for it. I also need to install a few more distribution fans. With the additions, I will easily be able to heat the basement and 1st floor of my 2800 Sq Ft 1849 built stone farmhouse. It will also supplement the 2nd floor and 3rd floor loft. I believe 1000 sq ft rating is either understated or a misprint. December 8, 2010

Tough little stove I have owned this stove for the last four years. It heats from my basement/Den area to the rest of the house...my house is 2800 square feet and I have ran this stove hard during the cold days! It has been the sole source of heat in my house for the last four years also. Over the life of the stove you will have to replace the gasket around the door, that requires a wire wheel on a drill or wire brush and the ability to take the door off the stove when it's not in use. My inner flap came off after the first year of use it was a nuisance anyway. The internal firebox is warped and puckered....but thats because of the abuse I have given it... to this day it is still used heavily and safe for my house despite the abuse and wear and tear it has held up and heats nicely! The best stove on this website! For heat that is! February 25, 2010

Good product I have been very please with our stove. It heats well, does not burn through the wood quickly, and is safe around kids. I have found the quality exceptional. I would caution against buying the fan that is recommended with it. The fan that goes in the flu is much more practical and does a better job of pushing the heat into the room. April 16, 2008

wood burner purchased in Oct of 2006. this is our second winter using it. have no other heat and this wood burner is all we need! Lasts well into the morning when filled before bed. Live in Colorado it is -9 this morning. January 17, 2008

Even Heat vg820e This simple design and straightforward operation gives ample even well controlled heat. Stoked (wood) 4 times a day or so keeps our 2100 square foot house warm from basement to second story (distribution fans used) with outside temperatures below zero, and doesn't heat us out of the house when its in the 40's. I also went with the Magic Heat reclaimer, (provided a good boost and more efficient use of energy.) In the past we have had 2 other stoves with nearly identical design and have been pleased for the same reasons, in 3 different houses, and areas. Best stove I ever had, planning to sell our old stove to the highest bidder.. November 16, 2007

A more reliable stove I have a 6 room log cabin which I heat with one stove in the basement. I use 5-6 cords of wood a year. We typically have an average of 9 nights per year where the temperature falls below 30 degrees below zero, so I have to heat the house 100 degress above the outside temperature on the coldest nights. In the past I've tried a high efficiency catalitic converter stove (Vermont Castings -Dutchwest series), but the catalitic converter ran at 1400 to 1700 degrees and the heat eroded all the way through the 1/2" cast iron in about 15 cords of wood (and destroyed the stove). I've tried a High efficiency Non-catalitic stove (Wolf Industries - Napolean series) which ran at about 1000 degrees and in about 15 cords of wood the stove had warped enough from the large temperature swings that the stove was useless. The stove loved to turn a load of wood into a pile of charcoal which would sit for hours and not give off much heat. It really couldn't maintain a high heat output for more than about 40% of the time. On really cold days I had to shovel out most of the charcoal (throwing it away) and refill with fresh wood to get enough high heat out of the stove. This VG820E (more old-fangled stove) burns much cooler (400-600 degress) and with the thermostatically controlled damper it maintains a constant temperature until the wood is burned up. The air enters the stove at the bottom so it doesn't create a pile of charcoal. With the thermostatically controlled damper I don't have to worry about the stove overheating when I leave the house or go to bed. Although the firebox looks thin, its made of stainless steal and will stand up to constant use. I added a "magic heat" extractor to the stove pipe and that increases significantly the amount of heat that is put into the house. October 16, 2007
