Someone posted a while back that their ponderosa top had warped. Mine has a sink hole forming n the middle. Almost a quarter inch deep. No over heating. I keep a close eye on it. Hottest it's been is 550 on the top. is this normal? Anybody else have this experience? I'm comming up on a year of buying it and thinking maybe got a week piece of steel.

Update. Nothing has been done as of yet from vogelzang or united States stove company. Little disappointed.
Vogelzang stoves in my opinion are very poor quality stoves i have seen more of them and ussc stoves fail or have other serious problems than stoves from just about any other company. Good luck getting it taken care of but i would seriously consider looking for a better stove. The englander products are much better for similar prices
Unfortunately you have an entry level stove from a company with very poor customer service. These are sold at big box stores for a reason, and there is no dealer to help you with the issue. If it came from a reputable dealer they would make it right in your behalf, even if the manufacturer wasn't being cooperative.

US Stove company strikes again... I really dislike this company.. I know this really stinks for you, if your on a budget and want quality I would recommend Englander stove company, there are some pretty good sales going on at home depot

Sorry to hear. I started out with A VG, and wished I did my homework first. Hopefully you can lay your hands on a NC or drolet with a good spring price.
