This stove does a good job heating once the heavy cast heats up. It will take a 25" piece though they need to be a little on the slender side or just one large chunk. It heated up my 1000 square foot shop nicely. Put a fan behind it and it could do more. I would give it a higher rating but the price listed is considerably higher than what I paid 2 1/2 years ago. What is really expensive is the insulated pipe you will need to buy.

Bought this stove almost a year ago. We use it to heat our upstairs almost 1300 sq ft. This thing is a heat making machine. The only bad thing I can say is you only get a 4-5 hour burn when loaded and dampered down. Other than that it is a great stove for the money. If you are use to a pellet stove or high end wood burner you might find this stove to be to much work, but for me that is part of the enjoyment of heating with wood. I have read reviews complaining about smoke I think this is more operator error than the stoves fault. Please have your chimney as straight as possible any bends makes it harder to achieve a good draft. As well make sure you are using well seasoned hardwood to burn.

I just received it today and noticed they left out the grate. It does not come with it. So better order it also if you want. I look forward to lighting it up. 10/15/08 have it all put together now and there are no defects of any kind as of now. Putting together the required venting maybe tricky since I have not a one Ace Hardware, or a Lowe's, or Home Depot that has the necessary parts to complete the installation I will need to go on-line to find that. I will fill you in as I go. But I Love the looks of this stove in my home, COOL.

Honest reviews on U.S. Stove Company BX42E Vogelzang Boxwood Deluxe Cast Iron Wood

I recently purchased the Vogelzaang model bx26e.

I have to comment that having only used this stove twice I can safely safe this is the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased.

The engineer must have been thinking this was for display only and not for burning anything. Some of the upper seams leak smoke. The fire door does not sit tightly against the frame and you can see flame on the other side. The damper collar almost sits outside of its recessed place and therefore leaks smoke the most.

Made in china

This stove will kill someone.

If you're willing to put the time in to study how this stove behaves you will discover that this is a great stove for the money. Remember it is not airtight and was not designed to be. So it can overfire pretty easily. But once you find the right amount to load into the stove and adjust the drafts properly, you will get a lot of good heat and save a TON of money (if you don't spend too much on the wood.) If you're getting smoke into your house it's because you don't have the proper chimney draft. You MUST heat the chimney first BEFORE you start burning the wood. E-mail me if you have any questions. numag1@optonline.net.

Great Product... Just don't buy the "stone" surround for it.

This is a really simply made and perfectly designed fire pit. It's pretty small, but puts out great heat and disperses the fire really well. Planning on buying two more when my new deck is finished...

Again, DO NOT BUY the ridiculously bad surround for this. It's just junk.

We've had this for almost a year. It is completely trouble free. We do set it up on a tile table, because it is small and our cluless dog walked over it (Thankfully he was unhurt). The unit puts out a nice amount of heat and extends the season we can sit outside. it is simple and trouble free to light. The cover screws down to keep rain out and the medium (I think it is vermiculite) in. I haven't taken it camping, but it would be easy to do so. Best money I've spent in a while. Highly recommended.

The Dimplex Lincoln Bronze Feestanding Electric Stove is really nice. It shipped on time, no assembly required, no problems. Just plugged it in and turned it on. I love the bronze color. It does produce a warm heat for a small room, as advertised. Ours is outside on an enclosed porch. We are in Florida and on a cool night (50 degrees) it helps get the chill out of the air. I especially like the sturdiness and the realistic flames. The door opens and it looks real but is cool to the touch ... good for our granddaughter. Also, a plus, is you can choose heat or no heat with the flame. We got it on sale for $150 and the shipping was an additional $65. Still, it is hundreds less than at our local hardware store ...$400+. We have no complaints. As a matter of fact, I was looking to buy another one because my mother and father fell in love with it over the holidays, but it is now over $220 on amazon ... plus shipping. So, I am shopping around or waiting for this to go on sale again. Only one suggestion ... measure your area and look at the size of this. It is not big. I was hoping for a larger unit and just didn't take time to look carefully at the dimensions.

I purchased this firplace for my bedroom. Love the bronze finish, beautiful little fireplace ! Purchased the Dimplex Celeste cream colored stove for my living room. Both are quality made stoves. About a 30 dollar difference in my electric bill. You cant go wrong with Dimplex. Amazon had the best prices !!

Honest reviews on Dimplex North America DS5629BR Traditional Electric Stove, Bronze

We bought this stove for supplemental heat in our sun room. It is a nice looking stove, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped generating heat. The owners manual states that if the unit overheats, it will shut down, and to reset the stove by turning it off for 5 minutes and turn it back on. If the problem persists, call Dimplex Customer Service. I don't see how it could have overheated, but I tried that and it didn't work.

The problem is Customer Service is only open 8:00 to 4:30 EST, Monday thru Friday, and when you call you get put on hold for the "next available technical service representative". I was on hold for over an hour twice and never got closer than caller number 11. The number went down by one about every 10 minutes. So either no one is answering the phone and the number went down as others in front of me gave up, or they are woefully understaffed.

I understand that problems happen. That's okay if the company stands behind their product and makes it right. It's obvious that customer service is not a priority at Dimplex. If that's important to you, I would not recommend buying any Dimplex product.

We got this popcorn popper and were so excited to try it out. My son was shaking it and when I turned my head he dropped it or something and a bunch of the popcorn landed in the fire. I figured he just messed up and emptied what little was left in the pan and the lid fell off. He had dumped most of the popcorn so I did the next batch myself. I was gently shaking it and it just didn't feel right. When I went to put the popped corn into the bowl, the lid fell off again. I'm not sure if this is something I did, a defect in this one popper, but I suggest you be extremely careful with this popper.

The popped corn was great and I will send this one back and get a replacement. I'm really hoping it's a defect in this one popper and the next one will be fine.

This product has much potential to be a 5 star product. The quality of the product material, at this price point, is very good far better than others that I compared it to. E.g. I bought a unit at Walmart for about the same price, which was a piece of junk (1 star at best).

Out of the box, this unit is problematic for the following reasons:

1) The connecting point between the handle and the lid is way too loose. In fact, this caused my first batch of popcorn to fall into the fire due to the connecting point coming free and the pan falling out. Yes, I had it connected properly. My recommendation to the manufacturer would be to connect the handle to the pan rather than the lid of the pan. But even with it attached to the lid, it could still use a more precise attachment. There is just way too much slop in the fitting and the little spring steel release actually acts as a ramp for the end of the handle to slip up on and come loose. I had to modify that little spring steel part to get my handle to stay on without falling off while gently shaking it in the fire while popping corn.

2) The lid is a nice idea but it does not secure tight enough onto the pan to hold the weight under it while shaking (not too hard of course) over a flame. Mine came off while popping a batch, and I was being very careful. I had to modify all the spring clips to get them to hold, but even then, they are still not nearly as tight as they should be. The fix, of course, would be what I suggested above to have the handle attach to the pan and not the lid. It doesn't really make sense to have the lid support the weight of the pan, oil, and popping corn below it when the pan itself could be used to attach a handle.

Besides these frustrating things, I really love this concept. The extending handle, the flip lid, the quality of material, etc. are all great and if these problems were corrected by the manufacturer, I think they would have a 5-star product.

I gave it 3 stars because I still think it's a good value for this price. If you are up for a little modification, you will likely have the best open fire popper anywhere close to this price.

Just don't be too surprised if you loose your first couple batches of popcorn due to poor fit. My family got quite the laugh when they watched me attempt to make them the perfect first batch of popcorn with this thing, only to end with that perfect batch end up on fire, literally, in the coals of our campfire. Fortunately, the pan only received a small ding from hitting a rock.

This unit is truly prettier than I thought it would be. It matches my other oak furniture perfectly and the fireplace unit makes for cozy ambiance. It was very easy to put together and I got it together in a couple of hours. I did have help screwing in the small screws in the back since I was getting tired at that point in the evening but it was really very simple. I'd highly recommend this unit.

Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful. Unfortunately, I was looking for a tea pot that my wife could use to make tea. When it showed up, it had a label that said "not for drinking purpose." It should have said that in the listing. I have checked many of these that were listed as not for drinking. This did not and yet it did list that it was solid brass. I thought brass was good for potable liquids. It is too small to be practical as a steamer. It is also made in China.

Dear Amazonians,

I am burning one of these Crackleflame logs in my fireplace as I am writing this review, and I can tell you that I smell no foul odor! I don't know what the other reviewers experienced when using this product, but there are no negative effects from using these logs. And, there is a pleasant crackling sound to go along with the bright flames. No smell, not boring, just right. I recommend these firelogs!

Happy Holidays,

--Daniel

I love how easy it is to light these and that they do provide warmth without too much smoke. The crackling sound is very realistic. However they have a chemical smell, which is bad enough to take 2 stars away, same thing with the regular duraflame logs. I throw pine cones in my chiminea periodically while the duraflame burns and that helps considerably but if you're not lucky enough to live in an area that has them I'd recommend adding some cinnamon sticks, or cedar to help cover it up.

I have really enjoyed the fire logs. They don't really crackle that much, but it is still a very nice fire. For some reason we are not able to buy Duraflame logs in Houston except for at CVS (very low stock) . I have been looking for the duraflame log and found them here on amazon and was so happy. I would buy them again.

I had purchased a single log from a local brick & mortar shop and enjoyed it so much that I ordered a case! It lights easily and quickly, lasts the perfect amount of time for an evening and we all really enjoying the crackling sound!
