Ashley AW1120E-P Wood Stove vs Ashley AW2520E-P Wood Stove

The Ashley AW2520E-P is the larger, more capable stove: about twice the rated heating area, a bigger firebox and longer log capacity. The Puesta En Escena 1200 sq. ft. unit is the better fit for a small room, cabin or workshop where a big firebox would be overkill. Both are EPA 2020-compliant non-catalytic secondary-burn steel stoves, and both are basic plate-steel builds rather than premium cast-iron stoves. Owners of this Ashley line generally report strong heat output and simple operation, while the smaller unit is praised for easy install and a compact footprint.

• Choose the Puesta En Escena 1200 sq. ft. stove if you are heating a single room, cabin or workshop up to about 1,200 square feet and want a compact pedestal stove that takes 18-inch logs.
• Choose the Ashley AW2520E-P if you are heating a whole house or open plan up to roughly 2,500 square feet and want a larger firebox that takes 21-inch logs and holds a longer overnight burn.
