Vogelzang VG-5790

[thatguy69]

i bought this same stove from tsc last year. first my combustion blower bearings went out,then the output shaft on the gearbox for the auger started leaking oil,and shortly after that the convection blower bearings started squawling like a dieng rabbit. stove never seemed to burn right so i called and haggled uss to send me a new stove and maybe i got a lemon. well so far this season i may have burned my stove 2 months now altogether and the convection blower bearings are squawling already. and the seam on the rope gasket is falling apart like crazy. this stove has never seemed to burn right and the glass is almost always black 5 or 6 hours after i clean it along with the burn pot filling up with hardened ash. Im not so sure the stove cant draw air through the hopper since there is no seal on the hopper lid? and also i need to solve the issue with the gap all the way around the burn pot. ive burned lignetics,easy heats,and american wood fibers and always got good heat. the stove is just a pain in the rear to keep going. so i just picked up a englander 25 and am hopping for better results and ill use the vogelzang in the garage for heat since its so unreliable and uss wont refund my money.

Wow, you did get a lemon you can get the exhaust blower on eBay from somebody else for 100 bucks and the rope u can get locally, it's 7/8 but I agree the company is useless , they should of gave you a new 1 .......The sooting up the 5 to 6 hours is the cleanout on the side you want to take a wet vac and blow it in the part that goes into the blower unit, it clogs up all the time it takes a 90° angles of another passageway ,you can't see it, if you blow that out that Stove will run 100%

Sorry I didn't make it clear,they did send me a new stove at the begging of this 2016 season. And it's the same results. I'm aware of the cleanout your talking about and I keep them maintained. But the stove has burnt that dirty since day one,so did the old one I had from them

if you were in Connecticut I come over your house and fix the stove for you I have a patent pending on a new stove part for that stove ,that will make it run for seven days , no cleaning , I told my mother-in-law if she buys the stove I'll make the piece for free for her and see how she likes it , it's 12 minute cleaning she says it's phenomenal ... I'm sorry you're having such bad luck ...

Do you care to elaborate on this?and what access are you talking about? Between the side access panels and combustion blower I thigh the only way to clean was by removing the combustion blower?

Does anyone know what the efficiency of the Vogelzang VG 5790 is and if the IRS is still giving tax credits for installation of high efficiency wood stoves? Thanks
