Any one have a vogelzang insert or opinion of them . I found a used one on the cheap, I haven't looked at it yet . Thought maybe this would get me threw a couple years since I need to do an insulated liner to install . Thanks .
 
I have never seen their inserts but i can tell you i have seen some serious design and manufacturing flaws with some of their stoves that can be quite dangerous. Can you post a pic of it or give us a model name and or number?

The problem i see is the air intake over the door. I have seen cases where similar stoves allowed co to escape into the room
 
There is a reason most stoves pull air from the bottom through a manifold before putting air in the top
