Ashley Hearth Pedestal Wood Burning Stove, Heats 1,200 Sq. Ft., EPA Certified, AW1120E-P, Black

Built well, works well, looks nice. Very happy for the money

After reading several negative reviews on this stove. I was hesitant to order it. This is a good stove. Some reviews say it is wood hungry. It has a small fire box for small space. Some said it was hard to light. I have no issues lighting this stove with the door closed. Some reviews said the stove caused the room to become smoke filled. When loading it up with wood. Again I didn't experience that. I crack the door open and wait for a few seconds. The draft starts to draw and I load the stove. My wife and I are heating a 800 sf cabin in central Montana mountains with it. This stove is offered at the big box stores for hundreds more. It's a exhalent price for a exhalent stove. If you need to heat a small space. This is the stove for you.

Great draw, keeps front glass mostly clear and heats well.

This is my second year with this wood stove and most likely my last. It was a great price through the warehouse deals and delivery was easy. The problem is that the low/hi damper control does nothing. If you have this stove loaded with good hardwood it burns extremely hot and there is no way to slow it down. I keep some fresh round wood to mix with the hardwood to slow the burn down. The ash drawer is fake. There is no connection between the fire box and the ash drawer, therefore ashes never make it into the drawer.

Have jad this stouv for 4 years with absolutely no problems. Great little stove.

This stove is perfect for my house. It burns great after a good bed of glowing coals sits under the wood and my wood seasoned under a shed for over a year so it’s dry. The wood lasts anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending upon the species of the tree and how much I put in there. Usually once I have a good bed of glowing coals in the bottom I can turn the air all the way down and it burns very well. As a matter of fact, my house is at the stove’s limit and with the air at it’s lowest I have to be very careful in the amount of wood I put in it or the temp will run up to 80° or more so after the stove is warmed up I usually just put one piece in it at a time. I’m impressed with it. I would recommend this stove to someone else without reservations. Like others have said before, the air valve doesn’t work smoothly but it isn’t a big deal. Having said all this good stuff, the one thing I didn’t like was when the door came loose with a fire inside the stove. It looks like the e-rings fell off the hinges and the bottom pin worked itself up and out leaving me holding the hot door by the handle and working to reinsert the bottom pin. I got it. Customer service didn’t seem too concerned. The exploded drawings don’t show what holds the pins in place nor do they show the cotter pins that keep the air tubes from sliding out.

I might change this rating next Spring (2023) after we've burned in this stove for a winter. I can't rate about installation or how well it burns yet because we haven't completely installed the stove yet, so we haven't burned in it yet.We are not new to wood burning. We heated our home 100% with wood, but we were using a regular, larger wood stove. Never used one of these new, EPA regulated stoves yet, but I'm open minded and ready to give it a chance and see if it will really burn more efficiently. So I intend to return and share my impressions about it. If it burns as efficiently as it claims I'll raise my rating. We always use 2-3 year old, well seasoned, dry hardwood (oak) so our wood use fits the requirements.The reason I felt compelled to write an early review is because of the size. I uploaded a picture of this compact Ashley wood stove with a 16 inch split piece of oak log in it. The log is not huge, but it's among our larger pieces of split wood (width wise). This may work fine, setting this one split log on a nice coal bed. I'm hoping it helps reduce the amount of wood we burn. But I wanted people to see what actually fits inside the stove. We're used to building a two or three log fire in the winters. This stove will not allow that. Only one average-to-large piece of split hardwood will fit. To fit multiple pieces you would need to split your wood much smaller than normal. That's a lot more work. But.. that might be a good thing? Maybe we'll burn less wood? We'll see.We only need to heat about 1200 square foot of space, so I'm optimistic this will be okay for us. But be aware that the wood box on this stove is quite small. If you already have large split pieces longer than 16 inches (18 would be a tight fit) you may have to go back through your wood pile and cut/split your wood to make it smaller so that it will fit inside this wood box.Just a heads up.The stove is nice looking, sturdy, and it will be easy to install. I wonder how long the (included) collar gasket lasts. Our old stove didn't need a gasket and never leaked smoke. Different design. I do sort of like the compact size of this stove. I hope it delivers for our heating needs.

I actually do not yet know the heat output of this stove, that is why I gave a 3 there. Our old wood stove is needing repair. We have yet to install this stove. Bought it on a special deal (good price....... well, not as good of a price as the homemade stove I bought for $80, but a good price............ Took advantage of discounts). I have dealt with the Ashley brand before with positive results! Need to install it soon....... But won't be testing it for a while (we hit 115 today here!). Shall see what it does if we hit -4 again here this winter. Looking forward to this!
