I wonder if they make doors with holes in them, for the extra long pieces?

Just make a bead curtain then you don't even have to open a door.

Not to my knowledge, but then again most of these stoves are not EPA approved either. This one is:

I was talking more about the little Jotuls but that one you posted looks pretty sweet for that price! Is it cast iron?

Thanks!

The EPA version of the 602 does have a window. Check Jotul's website for a picture.

The Englander VL-17 is a steel stove. It's the newest baby from Englander. Designed by hearth.com member Corie.

I like it! Unfortunately it can only accept logs 16" long and mine are 17"-20".

I know I've read bad things about the Vogelzang stoves from Northern Tool, but what about this guy?

Too bad about that one you posted though!! I love it! Plus you can store wood underneath and really dry it out before burning.

Thanks!!

Then the wood is not going to fit in the 602 either. Cut it in half.

As for the Vogelzang, is this something you would have in your living area with your family's lives at stake? Read up on this stove. There are lots of posts on it. It is hard to control, not an epa stove and better suited as a fishing cabin heater than anything safe to put in your home. Stick with the heatilator or get a decent insert for it if the goal is to burn less wood and get more heat out of it.

Yeah I did read up on the vogelzangs...but I didn't know if the one I posted (being a different brand) would be of better quality. The only reason I want a stove for the basement is basically principle. It's wasteful to just use it as a fireplace and it lets most of the heat out. I figured a small stove would capture/utilize most of the heat.

Thanks!

Just figured I'd post this...it's the same stove (or looks like it) that you posted...but a LOT more expensive!

Yes, it's the same stove. The overstockstoves.com stoves are exceptional bargains, especially considering they are far from the junk you might otherwise normally find in that price range. The Summer's Heat, Timber Ridge, and that stove from overstock are all Englander stoves which many here consider a cut above anything else you might find at the big box stores.

Yeah, from reading other threads, I see that. Seems like I might end up with one of them.

Thanks!
