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

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.

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.

Bought and installed last month, November 2022, Oklahoma City now getting a good cold blast so we're enjoying it. Pretty easy DIY project but the flue pipes cost $1000, more than the stove. I used single wall stove pipe from tractor supply and saved $200 but insurance forced us to fork over big $$ for the above ceiling part. No idea if this project will pay for itself, nat gas is pretty cheap here.This baby uses a lot of wood and is low efficiency compared to more expensive stoves but I don't care, my wood is free. It is not a set and forget stove, it needs feeding every hour or so. Actual smoke comes out of the chimney so be sure your neighbors wont complain, also your HOA. So far so good.April 2023 update. Winter's over here in OKC and it served us well. A neighbor tore out his oak parquet floor , this became our kindling! Another cut up his deck, we burned it; plus the power company trimmed trees all around us. Lots of free wood. Also got the nice $900 tax credit for the 2022 tax year, that alone paid for half the project.Now October 2023, eager to get the Ashley going and burn wood from a neighbor's apricot tree, should be nice.Now Feb 2025, cold winter, heating bills awful, Ashley cranking away and by now has paid for itself. Ive noticed on Reddit folks paying 5 grand for wood stoves, what nonsense. Be practical. A woodstove is about cheap btus, not showing off your dough. The Ashley and our Lennox furnace work together well, often the furnace is left on fan mode to circulate heat.

I’ve done all I know to make this work. Verified, moisture of wood, verified chimney height and tried to increase air intake. It made no difference this particular stove is a ripoff, the design may work for a a larger stove but not for this smaller one. My house alarms go off ever time I open the door to add wood. Sadly it rarely results in flame, just in charcoal. Definitely a “don’t buy!”.AmendmentFound the problem. There is a blanket on top of the firebox inside the stove, it was all the way to the front blocking the air movement. I moved it back and “bingo” problem solved. However, other issues have arisen. The air intake control placement is awful, you can’t see it without getting under the stove, burn myself at least every tenth time I adjust the air!
