Ashley AW1120E-P Wood Stove vs Drolet Columbia II Wood Stove

The Drolet Columbia II is the stronger pick for most shoppers. It heats a larger area (up to 1,800 sq ft versus 1,200), is certified for mobile home and alcove installs, and carries a 4.5-out-of-5 rating from 66 owners. The Puesta En Escena (Ashley AW1120E-P) is a simpler EPA Step 2 stove with a cast iron door and air-washed glass, but it covers less space and has no track record shown here. Both are non-catalytic steel stoves; the Drolet's side panels and clearance options make it easier to fit in tight rooms.

• Choose the Puesta En Escena if you are heating a smaller room up to 1,200 sq ft and want a pedestal stove with a cast iron door and a large glass fire view.
• Choose the Drolet Columbia II if you need to heat up to 1,800 sq ft, plan a mobile home or alcove install, or want a stove with a proven owner rating.
